Great review. Glad to hear the comparison with the Beelink SER 7.

[TheZoenGaming]

The included occulink adapter makes this a top choice. Thanks for checking it out.

Why should s/one choose 780xtx instead of HX80g for gaming ? (other than the size). Prices in amazon Germany are almost identical.

Minisforum is definitely one of, if not the best mini pc companies out there. It's pretty much outdated now but I still love my UM590. Great review RGG!!👍

I bought the MINISFORUM Venus UM790 Pro Mini PC AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS up to 5.2 GHz 64GB DDR5 1TB SSD with AMD Radeon 780M, 4x USB3.2, 2x USB4, 2xHDMI 2.1, 2x PCIe4.0, Wi-Fi 6E/BT5.3, RJ45 2.5 G . I use this mini pc with the Kris Cool Mod 2 TB Lightgun drive and It plays everything. I totally recommend the minisforum brand!

Just got one of these last week and currently playing Lies of P on medium settings at 30 fps no problem. It's pretty incredible for the size and price. Getting the onexgpu soon to pair with it.

I want one of these too, to complete the collection!

This little mini is a freaking TITAN! omgosh it smokes ser7's ! Great review I embrace the truth!

I've been researching mini pc's and this one ended up being at the top of my list.... a few things i'd like to point out that wasn't covered here...

to open the PC for potential upgrades like storage and ram, you open it from the top not the bottom. the top is a lid that you kind of snap open...that's also how you insert the tiger graphic (which by the way you can have a custom print made if you like)...after you open the lid there are 4 screws below that which is how you get to the internals.

This coming with an oculink port is a major plus. seeing as how oculink is faster in terms of transfer speeds to usb4...(you can attach an rtx 4090 GPU to it and it will run just fine)....granted, most people wouldn't consider doing that unless they are a major gamer, however you can use other less intensive and smaller gpu's to push your games a little further still.

speaking of games, it would have been helpful to show or say what settings you were playing each game, especially the PC ones.

the only downside I see of this PC is it doesn't have room for a sata SSD or hardrive due to the RGB lighting they put in there... yes, it has 2 pcie SSD ports which would be faster than a sata SSD but it is also more expensive. these days you can get a 1tb sata SSD for $50-$60 and a regular hd for a lot less...you can find a 4tb hd for $40 these days so that's something to consider if you're the type that prefers quantity over quality...granted you can just get an enclosure and plug in a sata SSD to one of the USB ports depending on how picky you are about desk real estate...also it would have been nice to have different color options for the case. other companies are getting pretty creative with their mini PC cases now. putting a generic picture of a tiger with generic rgb lighting seems a bit lackluster for a leader in mini pc's.

as for the price. the great thing about minisforum is they like to give people a barebones option so you can pick this up for $431 (currently 3/21/24) barebones (no ram, no storage) which isn't bad...especially if you are migrating from one mini PC to another (I currently have a beelink ser4)...all you gotta do is transfer your storage and ram and you're good to go....but wait, there's more...if you buy it from amazon and apply for their amazon card, they give you a $100 credit upon approval, so essentially this mini PC can be had for $331...and considering my ser4 mini PC cost me about $437 2 yrs ago, that's not too shabby of an upgrade for twice the power and capabilities.

I keep debating between getting the UM780 XTX or the SER7. The cons I see for SER7 is the proprietary power adapter, and lack of ports you mentioned. The cons for UM780 XTX is there is only 1 NvME spot if I use the oculink port, also I keep hearing issues with Minisforum's RMA and support. I guess I need to decide which cons I can live with more.

[mwales]

I picked up one of these last week and very impressed with it's performance.. I have thought about giving the Oculink a go and see how it works..

[robertwolfgan]

I was so excited all along the video, more than any other video...until he named the price. Damn. I was excited thinking I at least would have this one with the PS2 and PS3 games to keep me company since I don't own a PS4 or PS5 because, well...money; and now I see at the end that this costs pretty much a brand new PS5 with 2 or maybe 3 games. So yeah. Man tears coming out of my broke ass right now.

I took a hole punch to those feet so I can access the screws without removing them. The UM690S will run all the way up to Wii emulated games at 4k from Batocera with no trouble.

[roberto]

Will this pc run games like Helldivers 2?

[robloxstory_]

Can you hook that up to your TV And if you can where is the controller?

[Deadmare]

Thanks to your vid I bought the um780xtx :-) I am curious about o e thing I'm confused if I should set it to balanced or performance mode for emulations . Would ps3/switch emulation run fine on balance?

[sgbhawkman]

So besides hardware stuff like keyboard, monitor, mouse, what else would I need to run this? I am coming from console and have never had a pc but I want to get into emulation and play a few steam games myself

[erikgarston]

Hi thank you for making this video and all your others its very helpful. One question, is the item in the link provided come preloaded plug and play? I cant see in the description that it is loaded with games same as this video...?

[isacferreira]

nothing available on Amazon, strange not ?

[angelpeng]

How does this compare to a full desktop gaming PC that you can get now for around $750. Which would you recommend if the size does not matter?
