Mini PC

Powerful and future-proof! Minisforum's EliteMini UM780 XTX is a very specialized mini PC which features great performance and connectivity options. Visually, the device may be a little more divisive but all-in-all, everything fits together well. In this review, we have analyzed and summarized what the mini PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS can do.

The Mini IT12, a multi-talent? The Geekom Mini IT12 follows the well-known Intel NUC design. Equipped with a mobile Intel Alder Lake SoC featuring 8 cores and 12 threads, we thoroughly examined its performance in this test to determine if it can outshine the previous class-leading Intel. Thanks to two USB 4 interfaces, we delved into its gaming capabilities when paired with an external GPU.

Good streaming client! Last year, Geekom brought out a new Special Edition of its MiniAir 11. In doing so, however, the manufacturer didn't give it a new SoC — this isn't the case on the MiniAir 12. Its Intel Celeron has been replaced with a newer Intel N100. This should give the Geekom MiniAir12 a performance boost. We have taken a closer look at the device and have analyzed its benchmarks.

Efficient streaming client! To satisfy the requirements, streaming clients or compact office devices don't need to have a lot of power. The Trigkey is a relatively modern mini PC with an Intel N100 CPU for less than $200 USD. Yet, it is important to remember that DDR4 RAM is included. In this review, we compared the Trigkey G4's performance against those of similar devices.

A mini PC with a small gimmick! With the S1, Acemagic has a compact PC in its portfolio that is suitable for straightforward, everyday office use with the Intel N95 providing a good foundation. Acemagic's imaginative ideas often help it stand out from the crowd in terms of design and functionality. This also goes for the S1 which has a display built into the front. Read on to discover how well the device holds up in our review.

Only minor advantages over Ryzen U series. The NucBox M3 isn't slow, but the poor performance-per-watt of the Core i5-12450H compares unfavorably to U-series alternatives which can offer similar performance levels with much smaller power budgets.

Intel NUC performance without the NUC price. The Ryzen 5560U may be a couple years old, but it performs so similarly to the new Ryzen 5 7530U that most users would be unable to tell the difference especially for basic HTPC purposes. The SER5 is quite the bargain for just $230 USD complete with Windows 11.

Compact gaming PC! Compact mini PCs with dedicated graphics cards aren't all too widespread at the moment. Nevertheless, Minisforum's Neptune Series HX77G is a compact mini PC with an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS and an AMD Radeon RX 6600M. We have taken a closer look at this device and have analyzed its performance with the help of a variety of benchmarks and current games.
