The best Mini PCs are renowned for their compact design and portability, but have a reputation for sometimes sacrificing power and features for size, something Minisforum is constantly dispelling with its range of products.
The latest release from the Chinese company is an Intel Ultra 9 AI mini PC with a 4-inch 480p LED touchscreen that displays a clock, system information, and more. We first reported on this system in January 2024, but it has since gotten a new name, AtomMan X7 Ti, and a spec upgrade.
The X7 Ti is powered by an Intel Ultra 9 185H Meteor Lake processor with 16 cores and 22 threads, delivering up to 5.1 GHz (with a default TDP of 45 W). It comes with integrated Intel Arc graphics with 8 Xe GPU cores and NPU for hardware-accelerated AI. The Mini PC can power up to four displays through its HDMI 2.1, DP 2.0 and 2x USB4 ports.
Faster networks
Like Minisforum's similar-looking UM790 XTX compact workstation, the AtomMan X7 Ti comes with an OCulink port so you can connect professional GPU cards to the device.
There are two SODIMM slots supporting up to 96GB of DDR5 5600 RAM, two M.2 PCIe4.0 slots for up to 4TB of storage, and an SD expansion card slot.
It comes with a built-in 1080p Windows Hello compatible webcam and dual digital microphones for video calling.
The Theoretical maximum speed up to 5.8 Gbps. and 320MHz channel bandwidth.
You'll be able to pre-order the X7 Ti starting May 20, but there's no pricing information yet.
