Same as for Beelink, these mini-PC are fantastic. But they need to start putting USB-C ports on the rear for video output and accepting the PD. This way, one can use the one cable from a monitor, avoiding the power brick, and avoiding having a cable always on the front.

@bertman94 Жыл бұрын

I was recently emailing them about the pd ports as I'd like to be able to take it in my campervan without running an inverter and asked why they're on the front, the CS rep said it's because they imagine most of the time it will be mounted behind the monitor or in a cabinet and therefore they don't see visual design as a big issue 🤷‍♂️ I get where they're coming from especially given the size constraints they're under as well

I've been waiting for this since the XBOX series X came out. Granted, it is not a 12-teraflop SOC, but I have long wanted a powerful APU with good graphical performance. I knew I wanted one when AMD announced this chip as the M-chip killer. For gaming, it has a 5 teraflop performance. You would have to buy an M2-pro model at $1300 to do just a little bit better. I think that these chips were supposed to be out in February, but they kept getting delayed.

Rumour mill is they have something like that coming out next year. Speculation : I imagine they probably had a deal with Sony and Microsoft to not release powerful APU that would compete with the new consoles for X amount of years. I've heard around the 40 compute unit mark so 3.5x more performance than the integrated graphics in 7940 ( GFLOPS anyway actual gaming performance would be less) I think that would put it in rtx 2070 territory which would be amazing for integrated.

Great to watch a video with someone as excited as I am to get mine soon! I have watched a few demos and researched every small factor out there right now and this one is the best one. I am so happy to see it being demoed and I have been blown away with how cool it stays when gaming. Plus, eGPU capable with 60-65 watt going to the CPU in that configuration... WOW! Almost desktop performance with something so small!! Minisforum has really done an amazing job on this one, and if anyone is considering another brand, do your research on the specs, I have, and this one beats them all and can be purchased for less when it's on sale, and even when it is not on sale it comes in under others offering much less! Some details you can find in FAQ below! BOTH! the USB4 ports on the UM790 Pro support power delivery, and they can be used as a power supply port. - The default TDP is 60W, and it can be manually adjusted to 65W. - Up to four monitors can be connected at the same time with a maximum resolution of 8K@60Hz. x2 and 4k@144Hz x2. - The UM790 Pro supports eGPU.

They simply took the UM standard case, took away the SATA drive mount in the lid and had a fan installed there. With the hangs on the UM690 in many cases traced to the NVMe SSD overheating, this makes alot of sense. (especially with 2 SSD's now) I would prefer to see a R9 7945HX in this form factor, but it appears that is going to go into a mini-ITX style board. At least this is what they showed at Computex. I don't care about the GPU so much as I use it for Proxmox work, but if the mini-ITX does get released, you can put a dual 40GbE or Quad 10Gbe card in that 16x PCIe slot and scream.

I don't know if it kills the M2 Mac Mini Pro, but it costs less and has a better iGPU. You can game and 4k video edit at home on it. Also, the RAM and SSD are adjustable.

I swear I don't mean any offence or ridicule, but I can't help giggling whenever someone says they're "still running" a computer with a CPU released in 2021. ;)

I want one of these so I can build a sick emulator for my living room and just have it hidden or mounted to the back of the tv. Mini PCs are getting more and more affordable

I'd be even more excited for a Dragon Range mini-PC model with the full 16-core (if it can be paired with a GPU, desktop or laptop). Given that those laptops have had very poor battery life it seems great to be able to get the 12900K-level performance out of a much smaller (and cheaper) form factor.

Nothing can beat the Mac mini. This thing uses more power and throws out more heat than the M2, and that model technically has a better gpu since it’s the 10 core one.

Wait until you see some reviews actually running Steam, especially SteamOS. Because it is based on Linux and these MinisForum boxes tend to release before certain Linux drivers can catch up.

I ordered the last one you guys reviewed; it broke after 5 days and I'm still waiting for my replacement to be shipped after more than 2 months since ordering the first. Great product but you should warn that many people had complaints with the customer service.

My UM773 died after 2 weeks, got a full refund from Amazon. Have already preordered the UM790 Pro just because I really liked the 773 while it lasted. Giving them a second chance.
