Minisforum’s US store listed 32 mini PCs available to buy on 28 October 2026, in eight families named by the letters that start each model: AI X1, UM, M1, M2, NAB, MS, AtomMan and D7. The AI X1 and UM families use AMD Ryzen chips, M1, M2 and NAB use Intel, and the MS family, several of which Minisforum names as workstations, uses both. List prices ran from $329 to $4,899, and nine of the 32 were marked OCuLink compatible by the store.
Every price here is the regular price on a listing card at store.minisforum.com, read on 28 October 2026, for the configuration that card shows first. A Halloween sale was running, so every listing also showed a lower sale price; both are in the last table. The store’s Mini PCs collection held 41 listings that day; nine were sold out, and we name those at the end without specs.
The store also offers filters called AI Pro Series, Work Station Series, NAS Series and Gaming Mini Series. We group by model name instead, because that is what is printed on the box and the listing.

That makes 32 listings, counted one per store card. The MS-S1 MAX (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) appears twice, as a 64GB and a 128GB edition, and the AtomMan G1 Pro (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) twice, one per graphics card.
AI X1 and UM: AMD Ryzen
| Model | Chip and graphics | Memory, per Minisforum | Video outputs | Ethernet |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI X1 Pro-470 | Ryzen AI 9 HX 470, Radeon 890M | 2 DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, up to 128GB | HDMI, DP, 2 USB4 | 2 × 2.5GbE |
| AI X1 Pro-370 | Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, Radeon 890M | 2 DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, up to 128GB | HDMI 2.1, DP 2.0, 2 USB4 | 2 × 2.5GbE |

| UM773 Lite | Ryzen 7 7735HS, Radeon 680M | 2 DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, up to 64GB | 2 HDMI, 1 USB4 | 1 × 2.5GbE |
| UM780L Slim | Ryzen 7 7840HS, Radeon 780M | 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5X | HDMI, DP, 1 USB4 | 1 |
| UM750 Neo | Ryzen Z1, Radeon | up to 16GB LPDDR5 | HDMI 2.1, DP, 1 USB4 | 1 |
All three AI X1 models list OCuLink, a port for an external graphics card, and so do two UM models, the UM890 Pro and UM870 Plus. On the AI X1 and UM870 Plus, Minisforum says the OCuLink port comes “via M.2 to OCuLink adapter board”. What limits an eGPU covers how much of a card OCuLink and USB4 let through.
The UM773 Lite also lists a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay. How the Radeon 890M, 780M and 680M compare for games is in our explainer on mini PC graphics.

The two M1 Pro models list OCuLink; the other Intel models here do not appear in the store’s OCuLink collection. The M1-1295/1390’s USB-C port is listed at 10Gbps with DisplayPort, not as USB4.
MS: the workstations
| Model | Chip and graphics | Memory, per Minisforum | Fast ports | Expansion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MS-S1 MAX | Ryzen AI Max+ 395, Radeon 8060S | up to 128GB LPDDR5X 8000MT/s | 2 USB4, 2 USB4 V2, 2 × 10GbE | not read |
| MS-02 Ultra | up to Core Ultra 9 285HX | 4 DDR5 SO-DIMM slots | 1 USB4, 2 USB4 V2; SFP+ on the 285HX version | PCIe 5.0 x16 slot |
| MS-03 | Core Ultra 5 336H or Core Ultra 9 386H | DDR5 5600MT/s | 2 USB4, 2.5GbE, 10GbE, 2 × 10G SFP+ | PCIe slot, 4.0 x4 |
| MS-A2 | up to Ryzen 9 9955HX, Radeon 610M | 2 DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, up to 96GB | 2 × 2.5GbE, 2 × 10G SFP+ | PCIe slot, 4.0 x8 |

| MS-01 SE | Core i5-12600H, Iris Xe | 2 DDR4 SO-DIMM slots, up to 64GB | 2 USB4, 2 × 2.5GbE | not read |
The MS models stand apart in networking and expansion: the MS-01, MS-A2, MS-02 Ultra and MS-03 list an internal PCIe slot, and the MS-S1 MAX and MS-02 Ultra list USB4 V2 ports, which Minisforum rates at 80Gbps on the MS-S1 MAX. The MS-02 Ultra lists ECC memory support on its Core Ultra 9 285HX version only. The MS-A2’s two USB-C ports are listed at 10Gbps, not USB4.
AtomMan and D7: discrete graphics
The AtomMan G1 Pro pairs a Ryzen 9 8945HX with a GeForce RTX 5060; the G1 Pro-89A6 swaps in a Radeon RX 9060 XT. Minisforum lists up to 96GB of DDR5 for both. The 139D7 (Core i9-13900HX) and 895D7 (Ryzen 9 8945HX) list graphics card options, including the RX 9060 XT, and memory configurations from 0GB to 96GB, so check what a configuration includes before comparing its price.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between Minisforum UM and AI X1?
Both families use AMD Ryzen chips. On Minisforum’s US store in October 2026 the three AI X1 models carried Ryzen 7 or Ryzen AI 9 chips, two USB4 ports and OCuLink; the seven UM models list one or two USB4 ports, and two of them have OCuLink.
What is Minisforum MS series?
Minisforum’s workstation-style models. Five of the six list 10GbE or SFP+ networking, the MS-02 Ultra only in its Core Ultra 9 285HX version, and the MS-01, MS-A2, MS-02 Ultra and MS-03 have an internal PCIe slot. The MS-S1 MAX carries AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with up to 128GB of memory.
Which Minisforum mini PCs have OCuLink?
Minisforum’s store marked nine available listings as OCuLink compatible on 28 October 2026: the AI X1 Pro-470, AI X1 Pro-370, AI X1, UM890 Pro, UM870 Plus, M1 Pro-285H, M1 Pro-125H, 139D7 and 895D7. The AI X1 and UM870 Plus use an M.2 adapter board.
Does Minisforum make a mini PC with a graphics card?
Yes. The AtomMan G1 Pro pairs a Ryzen 9 8945HX with an RTX 5060 or, as the G1 Pro-89A6, an RX 9060 XT. The 139D7 and 895D7 listings also offer configurations with a discrete graphics card.
Can you upgrade the RAM in a Minisforum mini PC?
On many models. Minisforum lists two SO-DIMM slots on the AI X1, UM890 Pro, UM790 Pro, M1 Pro-285H and others, and four on the MS-02 Ultra. The UM750 Neo, UM780L Slim, Elite Mini M2 Slim-304 and MS-S1 MAX list LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X memory instead.
Is Minisforum M1 the same as M2?
No. Both families are Intel, but the M1 models on the US store carried Core i5, Core i9 or Core Ultra chips, and the M2 models Core 3, Core 7 and Core Ultra X7 chips. The M2 Pro lists three USB4 ports and a 10G Ethernet port.
How we researched this
No one at bitcritiq has handled this product. Everything here comes from published sources, listed below.
- What this cannot tell you
- A card’s price is for the configuration it shows first, and Minisforum’s Halloween sale was running on 28 October, so every listing showed a sale price below list; sale prices change. We did not read memory specs for the four M2-family models or Ethernet counts for every model, so those cells say what the card or page stated and no more. The AI X1’s store card says “Up to AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470”, but its own specification block lists the Ryzen 7 255, Ryzen 7 260 and Ryzen AI 9 365; we report the specification block. The UM870 Plus card names Radeon 760M graphics and the UM870 Slim card Radeon 780M for the same Ryzen 7 8745H; we report each card as written. The 139D7 and 895D7 pages offer memory from 0GB, and we could not tell from the card which configuration the list price buys. We have not used any of these machines, and this page does not rank them.
How we chose this, and what we did
- Why this subject
- Search Console shows our best-mini-pcs shortlist collecting impressions for “best mini pc”, “mac mini alternative”, “mini pc comparison” and “top rated mini computers”, and Minisforum sells dozens of mini PCs under letter codes (UM, AI X1, M1, M2, NAB, MS) that its store does not explain. No bitcritiq post sets out which Minisforum is which: best-mini-pcs averages outlets’ verdicts, and mini-pc-for-gaming-integrated-graphics uses three Minisforum machines as examples of graphics chips. The range is large, so we cover every listing the US store’s Mini PCs collection showed as available to buy (an Add To Cart button) on 28 October 2026, and name the sold-out ones without specs.
- How we looked at it
- Read on 28 October 2026 in the research browser at store.minisforum.com, Minisforum’s US store (its region selector showed US). The Mini PCs collection ran to four pages; we read every card’s name, subtitle and both prices. It held 41 listings: 32 with an Add To Cart button and 9 marked Sold out. We group the 32 by the letters that start each model name, which gives eight families; the counts in the text are rows in our tables (AI X1 3, UM 7, M2 4, M1 5, NAB 2, MS 7, AtomMan 2, D7 2). The MS-S1 MAX has two listings, a 64GB and a 128GB edition, and the AtomMan G1 Pro two, one per graphics card; we count listings, not models. Each card shows two prices; the higher is labelled “Regular price”, which we report as list, and the lower “Sale price”. Chips, graphics and memory come from the card subtitles, and from the specification block on each product page where the card was silent; display outputs, USB4, Ethernet, SFP+ and OCuLink come from those specification blocks. OCuLink is also checked against the store’s own “OCuLink Compatible” collection, two pages, which listed the AI X1 Pro-470, AI X1 Pro-370, AI X1, UM890 Pro, UM870 Plus, M1 Pro-285H, M1 Pro-125H, 139D7 and 895D7 among the available listings, plus sold-out models, NAS boxes and docks.
