MINISFORUM EliteMini UM780 XTX now official and orderable from US$489 with AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS and Oculink port
MINISFORUM has released the EliteMini UM780 XTX, a powerful mini-PC that surfaced yesterday. As expected, the company has based the EliteMini UM780 XTX around the Ryzen 7 7840HS, an AMD Zen 4-based APU that typically has a 35 W TDP. However, it upped the APU's TDP to 70 W, which should give its Radeon 780M iGPU and 8 CPU cores greater performance headroom than a stock Ryzen 7 7840HS would.
Additionally, the EliteMini UM780 XTX features twin SODIMM slots for DDR5-5600 dual-channel RAM, a pair of M.2 2280 that support PCIe 4.0 SSDs. Moreover, the mini-PC has an M.2 2230 slot that MINISFORUM populates with a Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5-capable modem by default. Meanwhile, the company has included the following ports across the mini PC's front and back panels:
Front
- 1x 3.5 mm jack
- 1x Clear CMOS
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A
- 1x USB4
Rear
- 1x DC in
- 1x DisplayPort 1.4
- 1x HDMI 2.1
- 1x Oculink
- 1x RJ45 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet
- 2x USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A
- 1x USB 4
The EliteMini UM780 XTX starts at US$479 for now as a barebones unit with Windows 11 pre-installed. Alternatively, the mini-PC sells for US$629 with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage or US$719 with the same SSD size but 64 GB of RAM. Please note that these are sale prices, although it is unclear when MINISFORUM will raise any of its SKUs to their MSRPs. Eventually, the company will offer the EliteMini UM780 XTX in Champagne and Vivid cerulean colours too, as well as the Obsidian Black in which the mini-PC is currently available. Please see MINISFORUM's website for more details.
