Deal Details
Someone already posted the more powerful models, but now there are also some cheaper models of the Minisforum mini PCs on sale.

For example the UM340 barebone for $339 instead of $439. These budget mini PCs are fast enough to make good energy efficient home servers (for which the two ethernet ports are great), media centers that can be individualized more than TV sticks (the mini PC fits onto the VESA mount of a TV) or compact office PCs with up to 3 monitors.
Compared to most single board computer you can connect a m.2 and a SATA SSD directly and the CPU also is quite a bit faster and there are more ports.

This is a barebone PC, so you have to add the RAM sticks and the SSD to use it. But since there are many good deals for these components lately, I think it's worth to buy them separately.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Minisforum has horrible quality and support (chinese manufacturer direct to consumer) and lie about their builds, gamers nexus and Der8auer did videos on them.

Id recommend avoiding them, as they arent worth the hassle.

Are there any mini PCs with decent graphics? Something like a 1650 or better?

Your best hope for graphics on a mini PC like this is AMD Vega or Intel XE (likely more expensive).

These mini PCs are basically laptops hardware configured in a little box, without an integrated screen. There might be the one off mini PC with mobile GeForce graphics out there, but it would very likely not be cost effective.

The CPU is supported for Win11, but the product specs do not list TPM. Unclear if TPM is included or not; likely not.

There is the Microsoft released registry hack to install Windows 10, change the registry setting, and then upgrade to Win11. They do not officially support this, even though they published the method.
