Would this mini pc be decent for 1080p gaming.

    1080p 60 FPS, sure. It uses the laptop version of the RX 6600.

    Regardless of performance, these mini PCs have been shipping with malware.

    Whatever you do, wipe that shit immediately and install your own clean version of Windows.

    Much better deals for $800, this is an expensive laptop without a display.

    But yes, it will run most games 1080p at 60fps.

  4. paparansen

    yes… and it is worth the money.

    got one of those babies.

    What’s the price of one of these? That will drastically change my mind about whether to say, “Yeah, it will handle games at 1080p,” or “No, just get a decent gaming laptop.”

    When you want to upgrade in the future you will thank yourself by investing in a more easily upgradeable setup than this.

    Possibly; the hardware can definitely support it. Whether it can actually do it at 60 fps reliably and for long periods, I don’t know. I am unfamiliar with the brand (apart from Googling it) so I don’t know anything about the quality, how well it handles heat, etc.

    A really really bad deal for the price, but yes it will

  9. Educational_Duck3393

    Those are actually really solid for the form factor.

  10. _ObsidianOne_

    Don’t!, just go for upgradeable options.

    I’d go for one of the tiny builds you can find on youtube. These things you will never be able to upgrade.

  12. Simple answer. For that price buy normal PC.

  13. Mini-PCs are expensive laptops with the keyboard and display missing, and *usually* put in far too much CPU and not enough GPU. This is no exception.

    However, if the WAF (wife acceptance factor) is too low to allow a desktop PC, they can be the best you’re able to buy. Minisforum is not a bad vendor, but try to pick one with either more GPU or less CPU and the same GPU.

    Oh yeah, definitely 1080p high 60fps. Pretty quiet for a mini pc and very easy to access the insides to upgrade ram or storage.

  15. I would worry about the thermals, though. that GPU is either underclocked/throttled, or it will shut down due to overheat.

    I bought a minis forum computer. It was honestly hot garbage, it was under powered and wouldn’t allow for more than 2 usb ports to be used at the same time.

    I returned the first one as an exchange. The second one I got was broken out of the box and was returned.

    If you leave bad reviews they will bribe you with a computer to remove your review. I said fuck it why not and the 3rd one I got was even worse.

    I would 10/10 never buy a computer from this company ever.

    entry level gaming 1080p so not good.

    its an expensive laptop with no monitor.

  18. CrunchyJeans

    Why buy a mini PC when can have a standard tower tucked away somewhere.

  19. J-wvmothman

    1080p Ultra setting for sure, 1440p High depending on the game. 4k not happening unless it’s an old game.

  20. torrrrrgo

    I’d have to see what happens after it warms up.

  21. Jealous_Run_8298

    You won’t be running games like starfield or Alan wake 2 at 60fps on Ultra, probably need to go medium to hit 50fps

  22. iamelloyello

    I can’t attest to minisforums gaming department, but I work in IT and we used their commercial/business models for a bit for our company. They are junk.

  23. Need_a_BE_MG42_ps4

    Yes it will perform well for 1080p but unless you absolutely have to have a tiny PC it would be much better to just make one yourself or even just get a full size prebuilt

    If you buy this you won’t be able to replace parts down the road, it’ll become a $700 brick in a few years. Better to just look into Micro -ATX builds if you can handle something a little bigger

  25. QuiteFatty

    This is one of those times to buy a console.

  26. DedicatedBathToaster

    You should look into 4L sized PCs. You can get a much more power PC for that price. They’re only slightly bigger, have better airflow, and are significantly easier to work on or upgrade.

  27. Lost_Tumbleweed_5669

    Just get a laptop or a real PC with proper cooling and a proper GPU

    Check out Devyn Johnston on YouTube, he does a lot of SFF builds and with some adjustments and sales you might be able to build a 4L computer with a RTX 4060.
