MINISFORUM HM80 Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 4800U Desktop Computer, DDR4 32G RAM+512G SSD, HDMI/DP/USB-C 4K@60Hz Output, 2X RJ45 Port(1000/2500Mbps), 6X USB Port, WIFI6 AX200, AMD Radeon Graphics, 2X HDD Slot

Its pretty phenomenal what your getting here in such a small form factor and for the price. An 8 core processor with 16 threads that can reach 4.2 GHz and only use 15 watts? As to how AMD accomplished that is beyond me. 16 Gigs of ddr4 memory and a 500gb m2 drive. Plus they threw in Windows 11 pro ($130 value) if you were to piece something like this together, good luck trying to beat this price!

In order to get the maximum out of Vega 10 integrated graphics the unit must run on 35W TDP and 3600MHz RAM.

I didnt have the system for long enough to give me an idea of performance, but it seems deficient in enough little areas for me to return it:

I sold my desktop 2 years ago and was using my Asus Zephyrus G14 connected to a 23” monitor, since. My desk space is limited and the laptop was kinda messing with the feng shui and ergonomics of my set up.

Needed to firmware and OS upgrade/reinstall.. No live support available from Mfr

I ordered two and one is a dream and works great…. Other one keeps freezing and restarting its self. Gave 3 stars due to the 50/50 of them working 100%

AMD does support thunderbolt but minisforum doesnt support it with their drivers or BIOS. USB4 support is lacking as well.

Ive been using this box for a few months now. It is quiet. Quick Bootup. Good video quality. I havent used it for any gaming hence cannot comment on gaming performance. My intention was never to use it for gaming. Mounted on the back of the monitor, it utilizes no real-estate on the desk. It stays cool and quiet for most of my browsing and streaming activities.

Pros:

I bought a few of these for a homelab Kubernetes cluster. The base unit is nice. I had to upgrade the RAM and replace the tiny NVMe they come with with large unit. Ubuntu 22.04.1 works great with the included 2.5Gib Intel i225v (Gen 3) network card.
