YOU are a GEM! I am currently having a Ryzen 5 2400G, 8GB DDR4 2400MHZ, Sata SSD + HDD and RX 560 PC and I plan to keep it until I can find a fanless PC that can have an APU that has about +30-40% performance of my current CPU and GPU! Thanks for doing so many tests at such a professional level and for including Linux in your tests. If you could add FreeBSD, that would be awesome! But as it's very close to Linux in hardware support, it isn't so necessary and things are still great!
Nice but the lack of quality graphics lap top chip like 4050 to 4070 really hamsters the i9 performance games and other editing apps. So close but no cigar even though it solves heating issues intel Xe graphics doesn't cut with i9
Love the I/O options on this. Why Beelink cannot get this right is beyond me. Hope MinisForum releases a Ryzen variant, since I know the graphics performance in emulation better on AMD.
i got the nab 7 barbone. it wasworth the money. actually typing on it now. i dont care about games any only game i play i evony. I do alot of virtualization type stuff and having 14 cores is amazing for that! i dont hear the fan at all since its tucked away it dont bother me. the connectivity is what drew me in and the look. i love the usb c ports and A ports. I just wish the audio jack was in the back but not the end of the world....... lolz
The fact that SFF pcs still have not implemented an external power adapter is puzzling to me. That would save a lot of space and provide much room for upgradeability. MiniPCs relly have the advantage in this
Good, fair review, though I find this to be one of those units that I can't decide about: The fan on the SSD controller is great to see, and the easy-access lid is nice. I notice that, unusually, AMZN US is selling a barebones of this for a net $371 using the coupon. I like that but assume that the cooling fan might not be included if you brought your own nvme drive. I was prepared to like this unit, but I'd have rather paid a little more and gotten things like DDR5 and a full USB4 port, and that kind of thing. Glad it got reviewed though, and it's nice that the magnetic lid makes most of the things you might need to chanage easy to get to.
It can actually still technically connect to an external PCIE device like a GPU if you use an NVME to PCIE 4x adapter, and boot off of a either a SATA SSD or a 2230 M.2 NVME in the wifi card slot (with an a/e key adapter)
I just picked one up, it comes with Windows Home, says it on their site too (I checked). So far so good, this little thing is power house. I loaded XCP-NG on there and running a couple VMs no problem at all. Good review sold me on it, Thanks!
@@Robtech LOL I didn't think you would even see this. The little computer is chugging right along, in case you are interested, I tried and experiment and did a Macrium backup of a VM from ESXi, then created a windows based VM never booted in XCP-NG. Botted the new never fired up VM into the Macrium reflect recovery and restored the VM backup and it's all working! LOL this little think is great to mess with. Thanks for the review of it and helping me find this little guy.
Hey guys. I need to retire my old Betsy laptop. Can you give me an advise about what mini pc to purchase? I do photography editing, light video 2k will. Thanks.
How does this compare to the MINISFORUM Neptune Series HX99G? Reason I ask is because they both have different video cards and one runs on ddr4 and the other runs on ddr5.
@@Robtech That's fair enough, I just thought I'd put this out there to see if anyone has an opinion. Maybe I've got my wires crossed, but on paper at least the CPU on this one is the winner by a decent margin.
Does anyone know it any of these mini PC can handle VR games I don't want to do anything crazy but just to be able to go to to PC worlds on VR chat if anyone could help me id appreciate it
Looks like the requirements are around a GTX 1060 as the minimum. That's ~4100 points in 3DMark Time Spy. The fastest AMD chip hits ~3000 in a mini this size. Still a ways off.
@@geraldh.8047 Thanks! I did watch the video, but somehow missed that. 👍 But your snide comment is not appreciated. And @Robtech you should not endorse this sort of comment.
NAB9? give me a break, can't compare to Minisforum UM790 Pro. AMD rulez. I bought Intel Nuc in Nov 23, and it was disaster. Todays Intels Minipc are really poor, comparing to AMD AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS. Built in iGPU is 2-3x better than intel's. +fan noise in Intel's 10nm and variable rates hurts ears. AMD's Minisforum is just much more powerful and comfortable
Nowhere in the video was it claimed the mini was better than a 7940HS. And that mini you're talking about isn't in the same price range. Fan noise has nothing to do with the transistor density or brand, and neither is AMD graphics 3x ahead. Stop spreading misinformation. Fanboyism is not welcome on my channel.
The video seems to have been carefully crafted to not do a comparison, probably for reasons. Still I tend to agree with this poster, the n100 is good for the price if you know what you are getting into. But once you leave that extreme low price it's very difficult to consider intel over AMD's offerings. Even with AMD almost IMHO keeping the prices higher than they should be on these excellent 7840hs and equivalent processors.
You are right , no compassion because they aren't in the same price bracket. It's like saying it's not as good as my £1000 gaming pc , course it's not as it's half the price ! Stupid comparison to make . Grow up .
AMD‘s quick sync equivalent is just not broadly supported in the community + the quality is bad. Nothing replaces Intel‘ quick sync here yet. In 5 years maybe.
