Minisforum NUCXi7 desktop PC review: Ultra slim gaming PC with GeForce RTX 3070 and Core i7-11800H

A laptop without display? With the NUCX series, the Minisforum system manufacturer offers a full-featured gaming PC, using almost exclusively laptop components. We were able to get our hands on a NUCXi7 and took a more detailed look at the model, running it through our test course. You can find all the important information on this exciting device in our extensive review here.

Minisforum is known as a system manufacturer for mini PCs in this country (Germany). However, with the NUCX series, the manufacturer aims toward a slightly different target user group, offering a full-featured gaming PC with this model. This is not your usual desktop computer, but an ultra slim PC with a decent amount of power. It is based on an Intel NUC-XI5 laptop mainboard, which is also used in laptops.

The NUCX is currently available in two basic configurations that differ in both their CPUs and GPUs. On one hand, there is the Minisforum NUCXi5, which is based on the Intel Core i5-11400H in combination with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU, and on the other hand, the MinisForum NUCXi7 with the Intel Core i7-11800H in combination with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. In terms of their price, the models start as barebones systems from 1,199 Euros (~$1,195) and 1,449 Euros (~$1,444) respectively. Our test unit, a NUCXi7 with 16 GB of RAM and a 512-GB SSD, costs 1,629 Euros (~$1,623) with the Pro version of Windows 11 already preinstalled.

In this review, other compact desktop PCs serve as comparison devices. In order to reflect the direct performance comparison of the GPU performance, we also included a similarly equipped gaming laptop in the field of our test competitors.

Minisforum NUCXi7 in Detail

Case

The Minisforum NUCXi7 isn't small and in our opinion not a classic mini PC. However, the device is still very slim, reminding of a laptop without display and input devices. Most of the case is made of plastic, while still giving a high-quality haptic impression. While an aluminum base would probably be heavier, the device would gain significantly in terms of the quality impression. Visually, the left side is ornamented by a skull, which livens up the otherwise plain silver side. The back is covered by a large honeycomb design to ensure good cooling. The device is screwed onto a stable stand and can only be run in the vertical position. The Minisforum NUCXi7 isn't designed for horizontal operation, since this would probably also be to the clear detriment of the cooling characteristics.

Including the stand, the Minisforum NUCXi7 brings only 2.4 kg (~5.3 lb) to the scale, which is very light. On the other hand, the weight of the stand prevents it from falling over easily. For the external power supply, you also have to add approximately another 0.5 kg (~1.1 lb) to the weight.

Equipment

At first glance, all the important connections are available. There is even a modern Thunderbolt port. At the same time, you could have different opinions on the number of available USB 3.2 Type-A ports. The device offers only three of them, and they are all positioned in front. We could have liked at least one more USB port in the back. But unfortunately, the manufacturer is tied to the mainboard layout, which would make this more difficult. You can connect displays via HDMI or Thunderbolt, with both of these options working without any problems in our test. You also don't have to live without an SD card reader here.

SD Card Reader

The Minisforum NUCXi7 is equipped with an SD card reader that operates at USB 3 speeds. The 76 MB/s we measured in our test using our reference card (Angelbird AV Pro V60) with UHS-II connection also confirms the USB 3 speed. However, this performance is still worse than the average of the class.

Communication

Minisforum uses an Intel Wi-Fi 6E-AX210 module in the NUCXi7. In our test with our ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AXE11000 router, we were unable to reach the good performance of the comparison devices. The Minisforum NUCXi7 places at the end the comparison field, clearly left behind here. The integrated LAN port offers a good alternative to the wireless connection, supporting up to 2.5 Gbit/s.

Accessories

In addition to the computer itself, the box also includes the 230-Watt power supply and the stand, allowing you to place the device horizontally.

Maintenance

Opened Minisforum NUCXi7 with side cover

For expansion or maintenance tasks, you can remove the side cover of the device. This is fixed at the bottom with three screws, and after they have been removed, you can take off the cover without much trouble. An included brochure also explains how to do this. After removing the cover, you might be misled to think that you are looking at a laptop. But there is still a lot of unused space, which would usually be reserved for a battery. You can also see why you couldn't just easily add some USB ports in the back. The only space for some additional connections would be in front.

You can fit a total of two M.2 SSDs into the device, which we also did for this test. To expand the working memory, you only have the option to replace the modules, since both of the SO-Dimm slots are already occupied with 8-GB modules.

Performance - A fast Core i7-11800H

With the Intel Core i7-11800H, our test unit offers a good basis for handling demanding applications. In combination with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU, the Minisforum NUCXi7 looks like a well-equipped gaming laptop. The 16 GB of RAM are usually sufficient for all the current games, even though space can become a little tight with the 512 GB of the SSD. With this equipment, you can also enjoy current games at 1,440p. Those who only want to play games at 1,080p should take a closer look at the Minisforum NUCXi5.

Test Conditions

We ran all the performance tests in Gaming mode. This can be activated by pressing a button in the front, granting the GPU a higher power consumption under load. To be exact, this corresponds to an increase of the GPU power consumption to 125 watts.

Processor

The Intel Core i7-11800H offers eight native computing cores and is based on Intel's Tiger Lake architecture. In terms of the power consumption, Minisforum gives some headspace of up to 110 watts (PL2), although at 68 watts, the PL1 is still a very good value to achieve a high performance. And this is indeed the case, since our test unit is able to secure a good place in the middle of the field with its performance achieved in our test. The disadvantage behind the faster comparison devices is small and subjectively not noticeable.

System Performance

The Minisforum NUCXi7 leaves a good impression in the system benchmarks. The disadvantage behind the Intel Dragon Canyon NUC with an Intel Core i9-12900 is 17%. At the same time, the Intel Core i7-11800H, which at this point is already more than a year old, also shows that it won't belong to the scrap heap for quite a while. Nonetheless, Minisforum could also get some significant improvements with an upgrade to Intel's Alder Lake SoCs. But in the current equipment configuration, the Minisforum NUCXi7 delivers a solid performance that is also convincing in everyday operation.

Storage Solution

In our configuration, the storage solution is an NVMe SSD with 512 GB of storage space. While the model used is fast, it isn't quite able to keep up with the performance of our comparison devices. However, the performance is still sufficient for all the usual applications. In addition, we were unable to see any unnecessary latencies due to the SSD performance. On the other hand, considering the target user group, the storage space turns out very low at only 512 GB. For a gaming device, we expect at least 1 TB of storage. At the same time, you can also expand the storage at a later time using the second M.2 slot.

You can find additional comparisons and benchmarks in our comparison chart.
