MINISFORUM has been on a tear this fall, releasing a series of compact desktop computers in rapid succession, including a model with discrete graphics, one with an Intel Ice Lake processor, and another with up to an AMD Ryzen 7 4750G processor.
The latest entry is the MINISFORUM
EliteMini UM700. It’s a 5″ x 5″ x 1.8″ computer powered by a 35-watt AMD Ryzen
7 3750H processor. It’s expected to have a retail price of US$ 569 and up, but you
can save US$ 30 by pre-ordering during a crowdfunding campaign at the MINISFORUM
website. The computer is expected to ship in December. The computer can handle
up to three 4K displays running at 60 Hz, thanks to HDMI 2.0. DisplayPort, and
USB-C ports.
Other ports include dual Gigabit Ethernet
jacks, three USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a single USB 3.1 Gen 1 port, and an
audio jack. The computer also has a built-in digital microphone. Under the hood
there’s room for a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD as well as an M.2 2280 slot for a
solid state drive. And there are two SODIMM slots for DDR4 memory.
MINISFORUM equips the system with at least
8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, but you can also customize your order to
feature up to 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD. The company describes its latest
computer an upgraded version of the DMAF5 which launched earlier this year.
That model had a similar design, but featured a less powerful Ryzen 5 3550H
processor.
