This looks very good. Wish I could get company to upgrade my home work PC with that. p.s looks like the German warehouse does NOT have any stock according to that linked website in last page of review. Only from Honk Kong now it appears.

Very interesting, a bit light on the storage tho, there's a lot of 2Tb+ options for SSDs.

Man, this thing is awesome. Rather impressed. This is better lan rig in size and power against my console killer. Which is a fractual Node 202. Which currently has a 5600x, 32GB 3600cl18, and GTX 1070. Hoping to get my hands on a RX 6600XT cheap.

Surprisingly many laptops are still shipped with a 250GB SSD. Laptops with the price closer to 1000 euros typically sport 500GB. Or at least that's how it's over here. SSD is an easy place where the manufacturers save some money. At least you can usually throw another one inside.

Very impressive. Really exemplifies how efficient the CPU architecture could be if AMD and Intel weren't in some race to the highest GHz. This is why I'd rather get the 7700 than the 7700X - I'm fine with losing a few FPS for a significantly lower wattage.

It has an additional expansion slot, so you can get a barebone version and put 2x2+tb SSDs and be done with it.

the good news is HH didn't comment on any splashed about liquid metal. and even though that's an "old" issue (about two years) from my (manufacturing) perspective it's like a scarlet letter. otherwise this is the sweet spot between so many enthusiasts and minimalists and it's a little bit less than the market expects. VESA mount this bad boy on your TV mount and run a "future-fi" system w/ eARC and an external hard drive for media and it goes seamlessly into a surround/ stereo/ network system as a HTPC deluxe. add Sonos/ Bluenote/ Cambridge Audio on eARC and you have a simple single remote and network monitor

I didn't remember this was that brand!

Kudos to Minisforum, I had ordered one and when the news about the splashed liquid metal came they immediately sent an email stating they will delay all the units to improve quality. Since then it's been running 60+ hours a week and had no issues.

thank you that really helps to hear the response because that doesn't generate the "clicks" like bad news

Love this mini PCs on a tiny box 🙂 . Awesome review as always great job @Hilbert Hagedoorn. Awesome gaming performance with that 6600M but lacking in the storage department. Also in my opinion the price is too high for what it offers , 500gb nvme + only 2x8gb of ddr4 3200Mhz ram 😏for $909US Dollars ? Why not include a 2TB nvme or at least a 1TB , why not 32gb ddr4 3600Mhz / 3800Mhz ?. All in all not bad , but they can do better than that for the price. It beats my Tiny htpc box Asrock x300m-stx with a 5700G with vega 8 only in the gaming benchmarks due to the amd 6600m gpu , everywhere else my tiny box beats it due to mine having 2x16gb ram at 3800Mhz sync with uncore frequency 1:1. If the price for the bare bones were lower i would be all over this mini pc.
