DeskMini UM790 Pro

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

If you already live in the Apple ecosystem with a iPhone/iPad the Mac Mini M4 is the smart choice. My granddaughter spent more on the 24GB version for better long-term reliability. Excluding the cheaper 8745 the SER8 8845HS is the most quiet better quality build for a Windows PC. The Geekom A7 is be

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.

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

Do Not Buy a MINISFORUM UM790 Pro Mini PC AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS 32GB-RAM 1TB-SSD Radeon 780M. I bought one about a year and a half ago. It is hardwired but for some reason it drops the conection, it will show the wifi but I have no internet. It comes back on when I reboot it, and it used to last a whil

It depends on cost. All comes down to risk. This late in 2025 I question why someone is selling a second hand UM790 as barebones. Hopefully it would be better than the Minisforum Refurbished horror stories I've read so much about. Bottom line if it is being sold as-is I'd say "no".
