I've owned two minisforum machines. Build quality is upper end for a Chinese builder. Way less shenanigan. Note that you're getting some real noname SSD and ram included. The SSD reports as an "ESO" brand, that seems popular with these brands. Ram supplied has no XMP profile.
Bios or driver updates from minisforum are rare on anything, and when they're pushed to publish a driver pack, it goes on one of the megaupload type sites, not their own hosting. They had a few bios updates to allow TPM and secure boot, when windows 11 came out. And one of them just quietly disabled the secure boot requirement. No bueno. But we're past that transition.
Tech support appears to be offered by one guy named Joey on their forum. He works 5 days a week and takes 24 hours+ to reply to a problem. The last time I reported a problem he wanted me to install teamviewer and leave the pc on overnight so he could "fix" it, and he wouldn't tell me what he was going to do, so that never happened.
So I guess my message is that if you want good ram/ssd, buy a barebone. Don't expect a bios update to fix problems. Don't expect a lot of post-sales support. But the machines are made well enough, and the price is right.
Interesting side notes if you order these. There is sometimes a little coupon floating around for $10-15 off. I've ordered two from China with their "customs waiver fee" of IIRC $35.
Both shipped to me from Texas, so they're apparently moving product between China and Texas and skipping the customs/tariffs, then shipping to customers from Texas.

What RAM speeds could you get to work in this if you went barebones?
Answer: EXCEPT for the barebones version, all versions come with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. The barebones version does not include RAM and SSD; therefore, it does not have pre-installed Windows 11 Pro."
Seems worth it to get RAM, SSD and Win 11 Pro license.

As well as the 7735hs being a little lower on TDP.
Overall though, the UM690 has been fantastic. I have a UM560 for my kid as well. Would recommend the Minisforum brand.

Yeah, I paid $499 for the UM690 barebones, not much a difference here except price. I recommend to anyone if it suits their use case. Still no HDMI 2.1 which is disappointing.
