Review: Minisforum HM80 (Ryzen 4800U) mini PC

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/25/2021 09:27 AM | source: | 12 comment(s)

Measuring 15cm Minisforum now offers their new and tiny HM80. A low-power PC that is so small that you can mount this fully fetched Windows 10 Ready PC behind your monitor, heck it will even fit in the palm of your hands. A PC that comes with duo Ethernet jacks incl 2.5 Gigabit/s, AX WIFI, Bluetooth USB3, HDMI DisplayPort, an NVMe SSD, and 16GB Dual channel DRAM.

Can you get it to work on an RV 12 volt system?

Found it for $760. I think its a bit to much.

I agree but then again you see the prices for some of the latest Intel NUC $1k

I do not know, can you build a full pc with similar larger components for 760$ today?
Do you give to saved space some added value?

I tend to agree. It's probably about right for what it is but I can get by with quite a bit less. For my streaming uses I got a couple of mini-PCs for less than 300 and they do just fine for that purpose. Admittedly, not much more than that but I have other machines for other purposes.

When my HTPC dies, or when I lose Win10 support in 4 years' times, I'd prolly look at something similar to this. Small enough to be portable as I might be shuttling between my country and Thailand (where if things works out, I'll be staying for extended periods) so having a small PC like this helps.

Who knows, perhaps by then, the built-in iGPU may be capable of real 1080P gaming, 4K gaming would be better and I sure as hell hope hardware-wise, we'd have reached that state....at least, one can always dream, right?
