MINISFORUM UM880 Plus Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS(8C/16T, up to 5.1GHz), 32GB DDR5 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD, HDMI+DP+USB4 Triple Outputs, OCuLink Port, 2.5G LAN, 5x USB Port, Radeon 780M Graphics Micro Computer

I'd rate it a 4.5 stars only because this is a tiny PC that can do most tasks you want and even some light gaming. This is a secondary PC for the main room to play light steam games. NVME is about 5400MB\s and 4000MB\s read write speeds. You can put a Gen4 NVME Predator drive and see full speed of 7500+MB\s and 5000MB\s read write. It does come with an adapter for the second slot for a SATA 3.5" SSD if you wish, but you can't have 2x NVME and SSD. USB3.2 is supported. I have a 512GB thumb drive with 1000MB\s and it's pretty close to that speed. It only has two USB2.0 ports so if you have a wireless keyboard or mouse, you'll be struggling for other devices. It only has one USB-C 4.0, but it is a godsend for being able to use one cable for powering up my monitor and sending data to the monitor's USB 3.0 port. I have it to a hub which lets me have a thumbprint reader for logging in, an SD card reader for my cameras, and a half size gaming keyboard. Before I had to have a separate power cord to the monitor and an HDMI cable. Now I can power it alone by the one USB4 cable and even when turned off, it supplies power to the monitor to let me use my nVidia Shield for TV watching with the HDMI. It will be able to do RAW photo edits in PS, LR, or DxO Photo Lab. There isn't Ai exceleration for DxO or Topaz Sharpening since it's an AMD GPU and nVidia owns that area. I tested out Path of Exile and while it did start on 4K resolution and low frame rate, I dropped it to 1080p@60 with everything turned on and it never dropped below 60fps until I got into a town. The stuttering probably happened with loading on new NPCs and town assets. It also ran Trials of Mana (3D JPRG) with 60fps mostly. I don't have an eGPU yet, but if you want more power, you have that option. The only reason why I didn't give it a full 5-star is because the power brick that comes with it, it shorted out and fried the PC. I had dropped a controller on it and it must have jolted something sent a spike to the PC. The brick stopped working and other bricks I had wouldn't power the PC on. I bought it in June and knew I was outside the window of return. MinisForum doesn't make it easy to contact them, but I had stated my grievance on Reddit and emailed Support. A MinisForum rep messaged me on Reddit within a few hours to talk about getting an RMA and replacement after an evaluation. It did require me to pack everything back up including the RAM and original NVME, cables and such. Luckily, I had kept the box and was able to send it back, which they paid for shipping to them and to me for the replacement. The new PC is up again, but I'd recommend firing it up and updating Win11 before putting in another drive. I kept running into boot errors, but eventually did get it up and running.

To be clear, this review is for the Minisforum X1 Lite-255 with 64GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. Not sure why Amazon is mislabeling this review under a different product on the same page. I think I am done with full size computers. It's hard to believe just how fast these mini PCs have become and when they are built with quality RAM and storage and have great cooling while costing less than a typical full size computer, I can't find any reason to back. This little guy has 8 cores and 16 threads and nearly hits 5Ghz while remaining nearly silent and having no heat issues even on the most intense tasks. The RAM and SSD are made by Crucial and are not the generic 'cheap stuff' other manufacturers often use to increase their own profit. The case is entirely plastic. This is a good thing because metal cases block WiFi and Bluetooth signals to a point. With plastic, WiFi and Bluetooth range are fantastic on this little guy! I also appreciate that Minisforum sells a version of this exact mini PC without any RAM, SSD or operating system. These days, those components can double the price of a computer. So if you already have your own, its less waste and a big cost savings if you are a DIY type. I love this has USB4 and it has an OcuLink port. By default, with the model I ordered, it has a 1TB NVMe drive that runs at top Gen4 speeds (see photo) with no heat issues. Next to it is an empty M.2 slot for expanding the storage. Alternately, you can use the OcuLink adapter included in the box to install in the empty M.2 slot if you prefer to use it for an eGPU. Your choice and it's not sold separately. It's included at no extra cost and can be removed if you change your mind later and want to use the second M.2 for storage later on. While this mini OC can play plenty of games as-is with it's built-in AMD Radeon 780M graphics, the sky is the limit when gaming with an external GPU using OcuLink. This little guy does my photo editing and my video editing with ease and I can't get over how cool and quiet it stays! The RAM can be upgraded. It is NOT soldered in like other models. Same is true with the WiFi/Bluetooth adapter (a MediaTek) and the aforementioned NVMe SSD. Mine came with Windows 11 Pro 24H2. I updated it to 25H2 and update the AMD Adrenlin and chipset drivers and, again, I find it hard to believe you get so much in every category of computing and pay so little for it! The CPU in here has no NPU (no AI processor) so I also save money there for something I have no use for. I expect Minisforum to be a household name in a few years. They have been around since 2018 and I have been very impressed with their products, prices, warranty and support so much, I have been buying from them ever since with each year bringing new designs and more performance and functionality with each new generation. Minisforum just makes these mini PCs with so much unique ingenuity that many of their models have no equal competitors (yet!) So, for whatever it's worth, until you get one in your own hands and see for yourself, I don't know the words to express my happiness with this purchase!

The Minisforum UM880 Plus is a seriously cool mini PC. I initially bought it to replace my son's aging all-in-one (AIO) desktop, which had become painfully slow with the software he uses. My first thought was to stick with the AIO format to save space under the desk. After researching the current market, I realized that a typical 27-inch, 1080p AIO with average specs—like an AMD Ryzen 5, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD—would run me around $1,000 after tax. ​A quick bit of research led me to a much better solution: buying a mini PC with significantly superior hardware and pairing it with a nice 27-inch 4K monitor. This combination not only delivered a similar compact footprint but also cost me several hundred dollars less. ​After comparing brands like Beelink, GMKTEC, and Minisforum, I settled on the Minisforum UM880 Plus. I was impressed by its powerful, future-proof hardware (including an OCuLink port!) offered at a reasonable price point. We were happy users for about four months (since mid-April 2025) with absolutely no issues. The performance was fantastic. ​Then, one day, my son told me the mini PC wouldn't turn on. That was my single biggest moment of frustration with the product. ​Fortunately, Minisforum's customer service was exceptionally fast and reassuring. They quickly sent me a FedEx shipping label and promised the repair would take only about 48 hours at the US located repair center. I was genuinely surprised when I received a text from FedEx confirming an upcoming delivery just a few days later. ​The repaired mini PC was delivered the next day. I tested it, and we haven't had any issues since. ​I'd like to extend a big thank you to Andy, the Minisforum customer representative. He was incredibly responsive to all my questions and ensured the entire repair process was smooth and stress-free. ​Final Verdict: ​Would I buy this mini PC again? At this moment, my answer is a definitive yes. The combination of top-tier hardware, compact size, and outstanding customer support makes the UM880 Plus an easy recommendation.

Benchmarks listed below. Almost perfect product, but has one design flaw: if you populate the top sodimm slot with ram, the factory ssd fan assembly will not seat properly without putting excessive pressure on a corner of the sodimm.

I've always been one to buy decommissioned enterprise gear for my homelab but I had a need to add an additional Proxmox cluster node in the house, around people, so I wanted something more human friendly. Looking over all the options, MINISFORUM seemed to offer a wide range of combinations of technology and the most difficult decision was which processor/ram/architecture I wanted. I ended up choosing the NAB9 w/ Core i9-12900HK specifically for the Cores/Threads and clock it ran at with 32gb of RAM. This should be plenty to play host to infrastructure VMs to maintain HA. I am using the 2.5gb LAN ports as one for the VM network and one for the Storage network. With how fast it is, you can't even tell that the VM's disks are in another building on a NAS when it serves a site from the VM on the NAB9. It boots very quickly and is completely silent and it doesn't seem to generate much heat, if any. In my case, I unboxed it, plugged in the KVM and network, connected my Proxmox USB Bootable installer, and went from new to cluster member in under 30 minutes making it very easy to use! I do have to bring up one small issue. A few weeks after I had it up and running it suddenly turned off and wouldn't turn back on. I know this sounds bad but it's actually a testament to how supportive MINISFORUM is. I opened a support ticket and had an email response within hours, not days! We performed the troubleshooting steps and emailed back and forth that next day before I was given the greenlight for a repair. The speed of their service and support was way beyond my expectations! I sent in the NAB9 and counting travel to there, from there, and fixing it, was 5 days. Under 1 week and I had the machine back and up and running! Since the repair I wanted to wait a bit to make certain everything stayed good before I left my review. But now it's time. I've had the NAB9 running 24x7 since I got it back several months ago and it's been amazing. So much so, that I forget I have it running in the house. I haven't had to do any fiddling or anything. It's great and just works. I feel that I can confidently say now that it's high quality and an excellent value for how much compute you get for the price. Thank you MINISFORUM, this device has filled a specific need for me perfectly.

This little box is powerful! Best purchase I've made in a long time! Came with SATA cable and several others! Blazing fast. Lots of ports and room for a 2.5 inch second drive. It is literally a 5 minute job. Easy peasy access to the guts of this machine. Incredible little machine had windows 11 pre-installed. Running two monitors and one is 4K- BEAUTIFUL. I might have preferred two HDMI ports instead but thankfully MINISFORUM included a C connection! This company thought of everything and the price can't be beat. I'm a graphic artist and I'm running a large tablet with zero issues. Plenty of power. Smooth installs and this unit is cool and quiet.

I bought the M1-1390 with the Core i9-13900HX, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. On paper, the hardware and specifications are excellent, and purely based on performance and specs I would give it 5 stars. After working with it, however, there are several design choices and support issues that bring my rating down to 3 stars. For anyone interested in exactly what hardware is included, mine came with ADATA DDR4-3200 SODIMM memory and a Crucial P3 Plus 1TB NVMe SSD. The system also supports a second NVMe drive, as mentioned in the product description, but the implementation is unusual. The mini PC has a PCIe x16 slot with a proprietary style NVMe to PCIe riser installed in it. Unlike typical desktop NVMe to PCIe adapters, the SSD mounts on the opposite side of the riser so that it faces inward inside the case. This makes me wonder how easy it would be to find a replacement if the riser ever failed. There is another important limitation with this riser. NVMe SSDs can have components on only one side of the PCB or on both sides. The clearance on this riser is not really suitable for a double sided NVMe SSD, so I recommend checking the physical design of the SSD before buying one for the second slot. The riser also doesn't use the newer tool free knob or latch for securing the NVMe drive. It requires a traditional screw, but mine did not include the necessary screw. I had to supply my own M2 2.5mm screw. Another design choice I don't particularly like is the memory heatsink. It is held in place by two rubber bands. RAM gets warm during operation, and I don't expect rubber bands exposed to repeated heating and cooling to remain reliable over the long term. Metal retaining clips would have been a much better permanent solution. Rubber bands make sense for temporary assembly, not something intended to hold a heatsink in place for years. The computer is also quite large compared with other mini PCs I've used with similar specifications. I would estimate the enclosure is roughly 2.5 times larger. That isn't necessarily a negative because an i9-13900HX produces considerable heat and the additional internal space can help with ventilation and cooling. However, the enclosure looks metallic in the product photos, which would have been useful for heat dissipation, but it is actually plastic. The front of the computer looks nice and clean, but I would have preferred at least some USB ports on the front. Having to reach around the computer for commonly used USB connections is less convenient. My biggest concern, however, is the technical support experience. I wanted to boot from a USB drive to install a different operating system. Going into the BIOS and changing the boot order works, but I also wanted to use the one time boot menu so I could select the USB drive without permanently changing the boot order. I found documentation indicating that F7 was the boot menu hotkey, but F7 did not work. I contacted support and was told to repeatedly press F7, try another keyboard, make sure I was using a wired keyboard, and reset the BIOS. I knew the keyboard and function keys were working because I could enter the BIOS normally. After investigating further myself, I discovered that F7 simply isn't the correct boot menu key on this machine. A different key brings up the boot menu correctly. I'm mentioning this because it says something about the level of technical knowledge I encountered from support. Instead of identifying the correct hotkey for their own computer, I was given a series of generic troubleshooting steps. Overall, the specifications and core hardware are impressive and would earn 5 stars from me on their own. Unfortunately, the unusual second NVMe implementation, missing NVMe screw, rubber bands holding the memory heatsink, plastic enclosure, port placement, and especially my experience with technical support reduce my overall rating to 3 stars.

The MINISFORUM M1 Pro-125H has completely exceeded my expectations—this mini PC is an absolute powerhouse in a compact, elegant design. Powered by the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, it handles every task I throw at it with ease, from multitasking to streaming, productivity work, and even handling high-resolution displays with its dual USB4 (8K) support, HDMI 2.1, and DP 1.4 outputs. The setup is smooth, the connectivity is future-ready with WiFi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, OCuLink, and 2.5G LAN, and the dual speakers/microphones make it an ideal workstation companion. Best of all, its sleek, space-saving design leaves my desk clutter-free while still delivering premium performance. If you're looking for raw power in a minimalist footprint, this mini PC checks all the boxes—fast, reliable, quiet, and beautifully built. I couldn’t be happier with this addition to my home office setup!

Ürün çok başarılı. Ev laboratuvarımda Proxmox cluster yapmak için kullandım. Heyecanlanınca biraz fan sesi gelebilir ama sakinleşince duyulmuyor. Ürünlerden bir tanesini tamamen kendi hatam ile bozmama rağmen (yanlış BIOS), Teknobiyotik firması sorunu çözdü. Onlara da Amazon'a da 5 yıldız. Böyle firmaların artması dileğiyle...

Great product, unfortunate about the choice of the Mediatek WiFi card that's not supported on Linux. I had to get a USB WiFi adaptor to have a functional WiFi
