UM890 Pro

I think in a month or two, after Flash Attention and Turboquant and MTP and DFlash all hit for Vulkan, you can probably get decent performance out of something cheap like a Minisforum UM870 Slim. With 64GB of RAM and GTT set in Linux to make all of the system RAM available to the iGPU, you can alrea

I just picked up the UM890 Pro from Minisforum and it's perfect, it has true HDMI 2.1 and streams 4K @ 144hz with HDR enabled. I'm streaming from my 7800X3D + 4090 desktop, ethernet to ethernet and it honestly feels as close to native as I think you can get. Some of my Moonlight stats: Video stream:

For context, I currently have a 64 GB/5TB SSD UM790 Pro and a 96 GB RAM/5TB MS-A2, both Minisforum. I also use Python virtual environments, FreeBSD jails and bhyve VMs on these systems.

honestly, I feel like using a handheld as a mini PC full time for productivity purposes is just fine. for gaming, it definitely depends- like on the type of game, your monitor, etc. but just for like school, social media, movies, etc? works perfectly.

I like the Beelink Ser8, GMKtec NucBox K8 Plus, and Minisforum UM890 Pro for lighter stuff. The new AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395

I have the following with the 780M and am happy with all of them. Aoostar GEM12+, Minisforum UM890 Pro, GMKtec Nucbox K8 Plus, and Beelink SER8.

The Minisforum UM890 Pro has better specs for $660 my dude. Better CPU, and the same GPU.

Minisforum UM890 Pro or Apple Mac Mini M4 Don't even think about N95

Can also buy a small server or a mini-pc to run 24/7 and run it headless using Linux. I personally use a Minisforum UM890 Pro and it works really well for me and the strategy that I have setup.
