Maxtang MTN-FP750 mini PC review: AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS slowed down by a poorly conceived configuration
Maxtang is a Chinese system manufacturer that sells special industrial solutions in the form of embedded systems as well as mini PCs designed for office use. In this review, we are focussing on the Maxtang MTN-FP750 which costs $440 US dollars. The system is comprised of an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS and 16 GB of DDR5 RAM as well as a 512 GB SSD. Alternatively, an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor is also available. On top of this, the mini PC can be ordered with additional RAM and a larger SSD. Maxtang also offers a barebones option, however, this only comes with the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS.
In this review, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 pits itself against current mini PCs. A more detailed list of the comparison devices found in this review is summarized in the following table.

The Maxtang MTN-FP750 in detail
Case - Metal and plastic in piano black
The Maxtang MTN-FP750 has a robust metal case which is complimented by black shiny plastic surfaces on the top and bottom of the device. Very quickly, fingerprints become visible and, sooner or later, scratches are unavoidable. Stability-wise, the machine doesn't appear to suffer from having plastic covers. The Maxtang branding is emblazoned on the top of the mini PC.
At around 13 x 13 centimeters, the device takes up a little more desk space than the competition and with a weight of 600 grams, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 is relatively light. The PSU tips the scales at just shy of 290 grams. The Maxtang MTN-FP750 can also be attached to a monitor and a VESA mount is included in the box.
Features
When it comes to ports, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 offers the basics. All of these can be found on the front and rear. There are a total of five USB ports, one of which (USB Type C) can also be used as a display connector. Together with the two HDMI outputs on the rear, this means a total of three monitors can be operated simultaneously. In addition, the rear of the device is also home to the 2.5G LAN port.
Communication
The Maxtang MTN-FP750 is home to an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 wireless module that can handle 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies. In tests, our review sample didn't exactly bowl us over with impressive results. For the test, we used an Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000. Alternatively, you can also connect the Maxtang mini PC to the network via an ethernet port. Transfer speeds of up to 2.5 Gbit/s are possible.
Accessories
The Maxtang MTN-FP750 comes with all the most important components to get the device up and running. In addition to the machine itself, the box contains a 90-watt PSU (19 V; 4,74 A) as well as a mounting plate for the VESA assembly. Likewise, an HDMI cable and a quick setup guide are also part of the package.
Maintenance
The Maxtang mini PC can be opened relatively easily. The base is secured by four screws which are concealed by glued-on rubber feet. Beneath the base plate, it's quite straightforward to access the RAM or the M.2 SSD. In our case, there is still space to install an additional RAM module and a second mass storage device (2.5-inch format). To access the fan, the device has to be further disassembled making quick cleaning an impossibility.
Performance - An AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS with 8 cores and 16 threads
Our Maxtang MTN-FP750 review device comes with the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS. In the AMD Radeon 680M, the SoC also has a powerful iGPU at its disposal. However, in terms of the RAM, the manufacturer has opted to give the mini PC a single 16 GB, DDR5-5600 module, even though, in practice, only a DDR5-4800 can be used.
Test conditions
We carried out all of the performance tests using the "highest performance" energy profile. The SoC's performance was not changed or altered in the BIOS and the device retained its factory settings.
Processor
The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS is a relatively modern 8-core processor in the Rembrandt series. However, AMD's Zen3 SoC can no longer be considered one of the new kids on the block. Despite this, the processor can process 16 threads in parallel which is good multi-thread performance. In the performance comparison, our Maxtang MTN-FP750 could only secure second last place. The reason for this is the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS's 35-watt power limit.

Maxtang MTN-FP750 vs. Cinebench R15 Multi-Loop
The Cinebench R15 multi-loop showed us how well the cooling system works under load. The cooling unit doesn't reach its limits due to a low maximum TDP of only 35 watts and this is why the device was able to achieve consistently stable CPU performance. In the comparison, our review sample even managed to secure second place behind the Geekom AS 6.
System performance
Once more, in the system performance synthetic tests, our review device was also to be found bringing up the rear. In daily tasks during testing and from a subjective point of view, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 was able to deliver good system performance, as long as the system wasn't challenged with handling too many tasks simultaneously. The RAM appears to be the bottleneck because once you subtract the graphics memory, only 12 of the 16 GB are available.

DPC latencies
We already recorded slightly increased latencies when opening multiple tabs using the Edge browser. However, they didn't increase as the test continued. When playing our 4K test video, the iGPU was stressed to around 24 percent of its capacity.

Mass storage
Maxtang equipped our MTN-FP750 review sample with a Foresee 512 GB SSD. The PCIe 3.0 SSD makes use of the M.2 interface at the maximum possible bandwidth and is not artificially held back by a slow interface. Despite this, our review device could only earn itself a mid-table place. An additional 2.5-inch storage device can be installed. See our comparison table for further comparisons and benchmarks.

Graphics card
The graphics output is handled by the AMD Radeon 680M, an iGPU which delivers good performance in most situations. However, with the Maxtang MTN-FP750, this is somewhat different and the reason is the installed RAM. The manufacturer only equipped our review device with one RAM module. In this configuration, the AMD Radeon 680M is hardly any faster than the Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 96 EUs. Even the Geekom A5 has its nose in front of our review sample with its older AMD Radeon RX Vega 8.
To get to the bottom of the weak performance, we took another RAM module from our supplies and carried out some benchmarks. This led to results roughly on par with the Geekom AS 6 thereby making the Maxtang MTN-FP750 in no way inferior to its competitors.
Additional AMD Radeon 680M benchmarks can be found here.

Gaming performance
Our review specification Maxtang MTN-FP750 only enjoys limited suitability for gaming. The relatively powerful AMD Radeon 680M doesn't manage to deliver its full power. Therefore, we recommend the installation of two RAM modules to achieve top performance. A rough guideline regarding gaming performance can be found in the form of the Geekom AS 6.
For further comparisons and benchmarks, take a look at our GPU games list.

Emissions - Economical but not inaudible
Noise emissions
Without being stressed, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 is, for the most part, silent. However, under load, we quickly reached 45 dB(A) and we were only able to discern a minimal difference between medium and full load. But, we could chalk this up as being within the measurement tolerance. It's a pity there seem to be only two fan levels. A glance at the table shows that both the Geekom A5 and the NiPoGi AD08 were even louder in the same scenario.

Temperature
The Maxtang MTN-FP750's case only heats up minimally when running either idle or under load. We observed a hotspot on the top of the unit, only measuring just short of 40 °C, whereas the bottom of the device did not even hit 35 °C. However, the SoC gets considerably warmer although, at almost 80 °C, we were still in the green zone. In addition, the manufacturer has set a maximum temperature of 90 °C in the BIOS. We still weren't able to achieve this with the preset power limit of 35 watts.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39.7 °C / 103 F, compared to the average of 35.6 °C / 96 F, ranging from 26 to 69.5 °C for the class Mini PC.
(+) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 34.3 °C / 94 F, compared to the average of 37 °C / 99 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 29.4 °C / 85 F, compared to the device average of 32.2 °C / 90 F.
Power consumption
In our comparison, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 belongs to the most economical of devices. Running idle, we already recorded very low power consumption of just 7 to 8.4 watts. Only the Geekom A5 and the Geekom Mini IT12 can keep pace with similarly low scores. Under load, our review sample continued to remain comparatively economical with our measuring device registering a peak of only 61.4 watts. Considering the processor's restricted power limits, these are not particularly surprising energy requirements under load.
This means the 90-watt PSU never has any problems in reliably supplying the mini PC with enough energy. The PSU can even effortlessly handle manual power consumption adjustment.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - Better performance but only after optimization
The Maxtang MTN-FP750 is a relatively straightforward mini PC for office use at home or in the workplace. The AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS offers sufficient power to be able to handle most tasks. Its 8 cores and 16 threads make the mini PC suitable for performance-hungry applications. The installed RAM comprises 16 GB, which doesn't pose any problems for now. However, when it comes down to it, the use of a single RAM module has paid off, despite the Maxtang MTN-FP750 allowing the installation of SO-DIMM modules. This meant, in tests, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 didn't deliver the kind of performance we would have expected. The most notable performance differences can be found in the 3D benchmarks. This problem can be prevented by installing an additional RAM module and, this is, without question, something customers should pay attention to.
According to the datasheet, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 offers excellent performance. However, in tests, the mini PC failed to deliver its promised power.
The Maxtang MTN-FP750's biggest advantage is its low price compared to the competition presented here in our comparison. The performance is slightly worse unless you take the matter into your own hands and the SoC's power limits cannot be adjusted. In our opinion, the defined 35-watt power limit is a little too conservative. At 45 watts, the manufacturer could have struck a good compromise. The same applies to the RAM which can be expanded with a second module. If you consider both of these points, performance-wise, that is a completely different Maxtang MTN-FP750 from the one we tested.
The port selection can be described as solid. All the important ones are on board - but that's about it. Thunderbolt or USB4 are absent which slightly limits the number of use cases. One positive side effect of having a CPU with performance limitations is the Maxtang MTN-FP750's energy requirements. In tests, this device was significantly more economical than its competitors. Unfortunately, this didn't positively influence the comparatively loud fan noise. A slightly better cooling concept would have resulted in better scores in this area.
Price and availability
In our review configuration, the Maxtang MTN-FP750 can be purchased for $440 US dollars directly from the manufacturer.
