Minisforum now offers the MS-A2 in even cheaper variants.
Minisforum has re-released one of its popular mini workstations with new versions. Cheaper than existing variants, these new releases drop the minimum price of the Minisforum MS-A2 below $500 for the first time.

Minisforum has updated its MS-A2 again with more SKUs. To recap, the company discounted Ryzen 9 7945HX and Ryzen 9 9955HX barebones models last month. For reference these versions remain available at $559 and $799, respectively, via Minisforum's website and on Amazon.

Now, the company has announced Ryzen 9 8945HX SKUs as a halfway house between its original Ryzen 9 7945HX and Ryzen 9 9955HX variants. Ultimately, little separates these three processors, with the Ryzen 9 8945HX effectively being a re-badged Ryzen 9 7945HX. Nonetheless, Minisforum's new Ryzen 9 8945HX variant starts at $599 as a barebones unit and rises to $1,119 when configured with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.

At the same time, Minisforum has also launched an even cheaper Ryzen 7 7745HX option. Available in most markets, the Ryzen 7 7745HX contains half as many cores and threads as the Ryzen 9 7945HX, with less cache too. Correspondingly, the MS-A2 drops to $439 as a barebones unit and $919 with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage when paired with the Ryzen 7 7745HX. Please see Minisforum's website for more information.
