I anticipating this will happens more and more but not expecting to be 1x32GB at this moment. Minisforum already done this on some of their slightly more budget oriented models since about a year ago, they put single stick of 16GB RAM on 16GB SKU back then. With current RAM price rocketing, I was si

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 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

Ahh, I did get the system name wrong. It was the um790 pro orderd the last few days of December 2023. I'm still not ordering a Minisforum ever again. Editing first post from um890 to um790 to correct it.

That is offensively overpriced. https://refurbished.minisforum.com/products/refurbished-minisforum-um790-pro?variant=48403552174369 They are fine for general purpose computing.

The UM790 Pro is an older platform, with the quiet single fan Beelink SER8 & the fully ventilated dual fan GMKtec NucBox K8 Plus 8845HS being the most popular of the next generation of mPCs. From forums akin to Reddit & other owner feedback, Minisforum hasn't recently been known for their customer s

That's the only thing, being 2 years old. Meigao/Minisforum are on their second replacement. After having problems with the UM780/UM790 Venus series, they moved on to their slightly revised UM Plus/Slim generation, which is being phased out for AI X1 as they finish 2025. From a PC repair perspective

The UM790 Pro which is an older Meigao (OEM) platform, which hasn't aged well for some owners compared to similar Chi-NUC brands, notably once it came down to Minisforum customer service & warranty. Have an individual I recently helped with their UM790 (intermittent HDMI out) who was finally allowed
