"The most surprising feature is a full but lilliputian desktop graphics card - look how cute it is in the render below! - that fits into the top of the chassis. (Minisforum doesn't claim it's upgradable, just FYI, but does boast that it offers the full 145W of power you'd get in other desktop 5060 cards.) And, in "Beast Mode," Minisforum says it can drive the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX CPU at 100W while that GPU stays at 145W."
"It's on sale now with 32GB and 1TB for $1,440, shipping mid January - which is honestly starting to look like a decent deal now that RAM prices are out of control. There's also a bring-your-own-RAM-and-storage barebones version for $1,040, though it's not available to order yet. Valve still isn't talking price yet, but I'd hope it's more affordable than this one."
The Minisforum AtomMan G1 Pro is a compact 3.8-liter tower mini-PC that houses a desktop-grade Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX CPU. The system includes an integrated power supply, two M.2 2280 NVMe slots, two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 96GB DDR5, and five display outputs capable of driving four monitors. In Beast Mode the CPU can be driven at 100W while the GPU can draw 145W. Configurations include 32GB/1TB for $1,440 or a barebones option for $1,040. Linux GPU driver maturity favors AMD for SteamOS or Bazzite installs.
