I just got the Minis Forum UM690S Venus with 32GB RAM, and 1TB NVme, for the same price as this, but I also caught it on a deal on Amazon for $120 off. It takes a bit of time to get everything set up, but once it is, the nostalgia of replaying games from your childhood doesn't stop. I'm thinking of getting another one and using it in a bartop cabinet, the small size should fit quite nicely.

My computer with its i3 3450 and gforce700m from 2011, in one of the games shown here, if I get 10fps I'm happy, so, 50fps..... it´s paradise!!!

$349 for a 760M, late cycle. Not sure how this "came out of nowhere". For the price, expect 780M SKUs, laptops, or handhelds to be a far better pick towards year end. Minisforum is hoping to unload these before those sales start.
@cfilorvyls4572 ай бұрын
Which 350$ device got 780M? You can barely get i3 laptop for that money. As for handhelds the only option you got for that price is either android handhelds with a fraction of the power or steam deck, which despite being a really good device on its own is quickly becoming outdated and got way lower performance compared to this. Cheapest gaming laptop with a 3050 or 4050 still cost at least $700, at double the price.

It's about the cheapest new rig that would support the full capabilities of the Geforce Now Ultimate tier - Depending on your internet setup, monitor/TV and location from an Nvidia server, that could mean most of your Steam/Game Pass/Epic Games etc games library can be played at 4k 120hz Ultra settings from your couch using a controller. $350 for a better rig than a PS5 pro with no scalping whatsoever, and it's a fully capable PC.

Not too shabby at all for the price. Instead of bundling a set of pads, they should know by now that all they need to do is use hollowed out pads that a screwdriver can fit into the middle of without having o remove them. It is such a simple thing to do. Shame that USB 2 is still being utilised and no confirmation of the speed of the USB 3.2 ports. In the same price range of the Gmktec M6, which looks like great value for what it does, but this does seem to be a step up, so could be quite popular. Add the steam lossless scaling app and I'll bet it will be even more potentially appealing.

The Minisforum UM680 Slim (AMD Ryzen 7 6800H) and UM870 Slim (AMD Ryzen 7 8745H) are also available. I’m thinking about getting the barebones version of the UM680 Slim directly from the Minisforum website for $239 USD. As for the RAM, I’m thinking about buying either a 24GB (2x12GB) or a 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 SODIMM kit. I already have two NVMe M.2 SSD’s lying around in my bedroom. One is 1TB, and the other is 2TB. As for the operating system, I’m thinking about installing Linux instead of Windows 11. Of course, I may need to replace the MediaTek M.2 Wi-Fi card with an Intel M.2 Wi-Fi card for compatibility reasons before I install Linux. If it does have a MediaTek Wi-Fi card, that is. The Linux distro I’m thinking about installing is CachyOS.

I was just coming on you channel to complain about how they alway use the Ryzen 9 or 7 but never the 5 in these mini computers. Unless it’s and older version! Like this one, they’d rather have you play the thermal throttle game than to not make enough money from the customer. So like this one is no different we have a Ryzen 5 7000 series while big name companies are using the Ryzen 5 8000 series in their laptops. So also just using the Ryzen 5 8000 series would make it cheaper than the 7 & 9 8000.
