Minisforum has given the Mercury Series EM780 a newer SoC as an upgrade over the EM680. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840U similarly boasts eight native cores but is equipped with a much newer iGPU. The manufacturer hasn’t skimped on memory either, packing 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM into the device, though it is non-upgradable. Other than storage capacity, the base specs are always the same. The configuration with a 512 GB SSD is currently available for €699 (US$619) on Minisforum’s online shop. For €30 more (€729, or US$639), you can also get the Mercury Series EM780 with 1 TB of storage, which is the model we are focusing on here.

In this review, we’ll be taking a look at the performance gain over the Minisforum EM680. The new Mercury Series model will also go head-to-head with other powerful mini-PCs that we’ve previously reviewed in depth. An overview of the comparison devices can be found in the table below.

Detailed look at the Minisforum Mercury Series EM780

Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 with power adapter

Case - Lots of plastic, but extremely compact

The Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 uses the same chassis as the EM680, meaning the new model too is extremely compact. With a footprint measuring just 80 x 80 mm (3.15 x 3.15 in), the Minisforum EM780 also only takes up very little space. Moreover, the device is fairly slim at just 43 mm (1.69 in) thick. In terms of material, Minisforum has chosen to give the device a mostly plastic construction. The plastic is remarkably sturdy thanks to the compact design. Only the air vents are fitted with metal mesh, which is meant to let the components inside get sufficient fresh air.

Specifications

Despite being one of the smallest mini-PCs right now, the Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 has an impressive selection of I/Os. Whilst you certainly have to put up with some limitations, everything important is essentially present. There are a total of five USB ports, two of which offer USB4 speed. Other than the two Type-C ports, which are capable of video output, you can also connect another display via HDMI. This means up to three monitors are usable with the device simultaneously. But there is something else to take note: peripherals must support Power Delivery because the EM780 is powered over the USB-C port.

Connectivity

Inside the Mercury Series EM780, an Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E AX1675w ensures stable and speedy wireless connection. In our realistic test, the Wi-Fi module delivered consistently good performance. That said, it wasn't quite able to reach the level of performance shown by the MediaTek RZ616 in the EM680 when connected to a 6 GHz network. The results were obtained with the help of our Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 reference router.

Accessories

The mini-PC is shipped in a relatively small box. Other than the device itself, you’ll find a small 65-watt power adapter and a USB-C cable in the box. The company has also included an RJ45 LAN adapter as well as an obligatory HDMI cable and some documentation.

Maintenance

The amount of user maintenance that can be done on the Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 is limited to a minimum. Only the bottom cover can be removed with relative ease if you ever need to replace the SSD underneath. There is no room for a second storage drive in the mini-PC anyway. It is not recommended to take the device further apart, let alone dismantle the CPU cooler. Inside the box is also a note that says liquid metal is used for heat transfer.

Performance - AMD Ryzen 7 7840U with 8 cores and 16 threads

All variants of the Mercury Series EM780 come with the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. As the successor to the Ryzen 7 6800U, the newer SoC can run at slightly higher clock speeds and features the latest Radeon 780M iGPU. The mini-PC should be able to handle more demanding tasks well judging by these specs. The SoC is flanked by 32 GB of LPDDR5 RAM (6,400 MT/s) and a 1 TB SSD.

Test conditions

We selected the “High Performance” power mode during all performance-related tests involving this device. The only exceptions here are the power usage and noise level measurements, which were carried out in accordance with our test criteria.

Processor

Powered by AMD Ryzen 7 7840U (Source: Minisforum)

With the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U, the Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 has received an efficient SoC with adequate performance. However, one thing that stood out is the comparatively low single-core performance. But the Zen 4 SoC can deliver solid results in multi-thread performance tests. Almost all the devices in our comparison are neck and neck when it comes to their averaged performance score. Only the Geekom A7 with an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS managed to take a slightly larger lead over the rest of the pack.

Even though the Mercury Series EM780 is exceptionally tiny and thus has a much smaller cooling unit than most other mini-PCs, the level of CPU performance is still outstanding. This is clearly reflected in the AIDA64 benchmarks, where our review unit firmly took second place.

DPC latency

When used for basic web browsing, the Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 had no issue at all with increased latency. The review unit also effortlessly handled playback of our 4K test video, though we did notice a few dropped frames. Latency only shot up when Prime95 started running. We think the EM780 would nevertheless still make for an excellent streaming client.

Max latency when several browser tabs are kept open and during 4K video playback

Max latency after ten seconds of Prime95 running

Mass storage

Due to its design, the Mercury Series EM780 comes with an extremely small SSD. The storage drive, measuring just 30 mm (1.18 in) in length, is made by Kingston and delivers serviceable transfer rates. At least the storage isn’t permanently installed and can be replaced. On the bottom of the device, Minisforum has placed an additional fan and heatsink to prevent the SSD overheating. This system seems to pay off because the read speed remained stable throughout the stress test. Just like its predecessor, the EM780 can only accommodate one storage drive.

Graphics card

By using a newer Zen 4 APU, the Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 now boasts much more powerful iGPU than the EM680: the AMD Radeon 780M. The newer model is ranked above its predecessor and produced better performance across the board. The Geekom A7 sports the same iGPU, but was able to get a little more performance from the graphics card due to its higher power usage. That said, the gap is relatively small with only a 16% difference in 3DMark Performance Rating.

Gaming performance

The excellent performance of the AMD Radeon 780M continues into the games tested. The iGPU has markedly higher performance than the Radeon 680M. The number of games playable on a humble iGPU has massively increased. However, you’ll have to make do with a lower level of detail. Right now, only a dedicated graphics card can give you better 3D performance than the 780M. The Minisforum Neptune Series HX99G is worth checking out if you want a mini-PC with a dGPU. Optionally, the Mercury Series EM780 can also be connected to an external graphics card. We’ll delve into that separately in the next section.

You can visit our GPU gaming performance list to get an overview of how the iGPU stacks up against other graphics cards.

Testing out two eGPUs with Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 performs

As Minisforum has equipped the Mercury Series EM780 with USB4 ports, the palm-size computer can also be used together with an external graphics card. We took a look at the performance gain from pairing the mini-PC with a GPD G1 and then with a Razer Core X and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti. Whilst the AMD Radeon 780M already offers adequate performance, plugging in an eGPU is still going to boost 3D performance noticeably. It is sometimes even possible to play modern games at 1440p as well. That said, technical limitations related to the USB4 interface are something you’ll have to deal with. This is because an external graphics card can only communicate with the mini-PC at up to PCIe 3.0 x4. The OCuLink interface is an alternative to USB4, but it is currently available only on a handful of devices. Connecting the GPD G1 via OCuLink provides an approximately 10% boost in performance. One of the few mini-PCs with a native OCuLink port is the Minisforum EliteMini UM780 XTX.

Emissions - AMD Ryzen 7 7840U always under control

Noise emissions

Although the Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 packs a lot of power into an extremely compact chassis, the noise levels we measured were consistently great. Our review unit reached slightly more than 30 dB(A) at idle. The noise level increased to roughly 32 dB(A) under ordinary load and hit 38 dB(A) during the stress test. Though it is worth noting that the fan at the bottom didn’t affect our measurements. The primary source of noise is the CPU fan, which draws in fresh air from the top.

Temperature

We didn’t see any extreme values when it comes to chassis temperatures. The bottom became slightly warmer than the top because of the SSD and heatsink. The processor itself got as hot as 83.9°C (183.0°F) during the stress test. Minisforum has set a thermal limit for the processor, but this is not an issue considering the SoC is able to operate continuously at 28 watts (TDP).

Power consumption

The Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 is a very frugal mini-PC. But its power consumption has, in some cases, increased significantly compared with the EM680. That said, with an average power usage of 31.7 watts, our review unit is still one of the least power-hungry devices in our comparison. The included adapter can deliver up to 65 watts to the device over USB4. Alternatively, you can power the Minisforum EM780 via a monitor that supports Power Delivery.

Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 review: the sample unit is kind provided by Minisforum

The Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 is an extremely small PC that performs well in nearly every aspect. The mini-PC is equipped with a modern eight-core processor in the form of an AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. At the same time, the SoC boasts a rather powerful iGPU that is capable of achieving excellent performance in spite of the low power usage. The Minisforum EM780 packs a tremendous amount of power on a footprint of just 80 x 80 mm (3.15 x 3.15 in). You’ll also be well-served by the 32 GB of DDR5 RAM. Unfortunately, the memory is neither expandable nor replaceable, which is one of the drawbacks of such compact PCs. On the other hand, it is possible to upgrade the mass storage in the EM780. The storage drive has a relatively generous capacity of 1 TB. The device has impeccable fit and finish, even though the chassis is largely made of plastic. The mini-PC still feels nice to the touch, and the choice of material also doesn’t affect how sturdy the device is.

The impressive Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 offers excellent performance in a very small package, without sacrificing cutting-edge I/O ports like USB4.

We really like the cooling system. It’s able to effectively remove heat from the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U. There isn’t any performance loss even under full load. The same applies to the SSD as well, which has been given a separate cooling unit. Noise level is fairly all right overall, meaning you won’t hear any annoying noise in the background when the computer is running. Minisforum got around the lack of an Ethernet port by including an adapter you can plug in via USB4. The EM780 mini-PC will set you back €729 (US$639). This is by no means a steal, but you'll get one of the most compact mini-PCs in this performance category.

Price and availability

The Minisforum Mercury Series EM780 is available directly on the company's online shop. Minisforum is currently still offering attractive preorder discounts: our review model with 1 TB of storage costs €729 (US$639), whereas the cheaper variant with a 512 GB SSD will set you back €699 (US$619). Both models can also be found on Amazon for the same price.
