I recently got my Minisforum UM790 ProAND I LOVE IT! It's super fast, it's so small and SO powerful. I run some games on it, nothing too fancy. things like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk. No glitches what so ever. To me it's astonishing to see how these things evolved. I started with 33Mhz and

Never again with Minisforum. Have a um790 pro. After a year and a half, 2 usb ports failed and regular blue screens. Minisforum support was unresponsive.

Here's my personal perspective. Seen too many UM790 Pro mPCs on the diagnostics bench in front of me to be an advocate, notably as a long-term investment. It's a much older platform, with little to no innovation or improvements. The AI-X1 on the other hand, after seeing my first one for the first ti

I see these posts all the time and I hate to say it but it’s clear in their warranty they only cover their own online store for warranty. It’s the risk you take for saving money buying Chinese. If you want a better warranty buy Dell, Asus, Lenovo etc. I do feel for you but know what you’re getting i

I bought a minisforum UM790 Pro exactly a year ago and it only lasted 3 months. Overnight it stopped working and I couldn't get it to work again and the minisforum support was really crap and they didn't make my warranty valid because here in Mexico they don't have support; So $13,000 Mexican pesos

Me compré una minisforum UM790 Pro hace un año exactamente y solo me duró 3 meses. De la noche a la mañana dejó de funcionar y ya no pude hacerla funcionar nuevamente y el soporte de minisforum resultó una verdadera porquería y no me hicieron válida la garantía que por que aquí en Mexico no tienen s

I had the Minisforum UM790 Pro and it was a very quick little device. I ran Linux on mine and it was great. I eventually sold it and got a Mac Mini, which has also been great. It's amazing how much computer they can pack into a little box these days. I don't have any personal experience with GMTek b

I like the brand and the tech, disappointed with support. Been using my Um790 pro for over a year now and really happy with the performance of the unit. Only caveat is the WiFi quality is not great, so I installed a stronger antenna l. I would recommend going for a barebones unit so that you can dea

I think it is a good idea to buy any Chinese Mini PC from somewhere with an easy return option, like Amazon (shipped by). There is a reason they are so cheap and that is skipping a lot of the QC that named brands have. I’ve been pretty happy with my Minisforum UM790 Pro. I’ve had issues with it, but

I've read quite a bit of horror stories with people dealing with Minisforum! However with that being said, I've had a UM790 pro and a HX99G for about a couple of years now and I just love them. Recently though I believe the power adapter for the UM790 has died and I've been trying to order a new one
