These Mini PC's are awesome these days at what can be performed on them with such a tiny package. So impressive all these coming out and what the mobile chip offers these days.
I remember I first found your channel about 13 years ago when I was looking into building a PC. I’m now a videographer/editor and will be in need of a PC upgrade soon, would love to see you make a video on what you would put into a $2000 PC!
I jus bought this minipc and my question is : my old minipc is Minisforum UM790 Pro, if I just move the disk with windows from 790 pro to 890 pro will it work? Will I get any errors, drivers, motherboard? Please advise. Thank you
I love mine, mainly purchased for an emulation machine and media server with 2 x 4tb drives. The Oculink does cause you to lose an M2 slot which a few models do not. Also from experience the wifi is atrocious, constant drop out and poor speeds. Interestingly this may be due to the implementation of Wfi6 on my UK EE router. I have had to use the 2.5Gb lan to get a stable connection. Does great at emulation though and very snappy to use.
Nice, one usb4 for 2x10g lan. The ocu for ssd expansion. The usb 3 ports for external HDD enclosures. Leaving one usb4 for future expansion of your new modular NAS 😂 now imagine at least three of these running ceph and proxmox 😂
Brother, you gotta try 'Lossless Scaling' on these small machines. It's frame reconstruction with all it's faults but it works on pretty much any hardware, it's got some caveats but does really well on games that run in the 30-50 FPS range, even better on higher frame-rates with high refresh monitors.
If you increase the dedicated vram in bios (seeing you're at default 2GB) you'll get even better results. Just bought mine with a DEG1 eGPU to go with it. It's a great little machine :) . Minisforums EliteMini AI370 mini PC with Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and 890M are on the way, probably this month since Beelink already released their variant of it. Would have waited for this one if it had occulink, but it doesn't.
You won't, though. That's not how unified memory works. The iGPU will request as much RAM from the system as it requires. The 128MB/.../2GB/...8GB settings are there *PURELY* for games that refuse to launch due to it seeing a GPU with "insufficient" RAM according to how the game is coded. All upping the RAM dedicated to the GPU does is make it so the system can't use it outside of the GPU. (The same concept applies to dedicated GPUs, they'll spill over VRAM onto the system DRAM when you run out of VRAM. The difference here is that system DRAM is obviously-slower than dedicated VRAM for graphics usage. With iGPUs, the RAM is just... one pool of memory.)
Hint: Beelink SER9 seems to be limited to 4.2 GHz only. Mine does. Support treats me as a child, but cannot help.I increased click speed for about 200MHz, set performance mode and configured power level to 80W, nothing help either.
I have one of these that I bought barebones to keep the price under $500. I can't see paying more than that for a PC from a company that will not be around in a year. They may be here but not making this unit anymore and not offering extended support.
its good for the price but AMD APU are still weak we need at least something can kills the reason to but A gpu at native 1080p. playing most game at medium with 60+ plus performance

How does it compatible with thunderbolt 4, I got doc station and i wonder if I can plug in that? And potentially dont blow it up
Is editing on this machine good without eGPU as well?
He wasn't using an eGPU in the video, so I'm guessing yes, very good.
@@gerowenYes. bought it last week, editing works amazing

How does this one compare to the minisforum Neptune 99/100 ?
One more minipc to bring over to Japan when you move?
I'm not taking these

Does this have Wifi
