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.

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.
Are there any risers on the motherboard to add Sata or NVMe ports
My "little bitch computer" has an 8 core i7 and a 3070m in it. But it's holding down my giant tower with the 3080ti. I never turn that one on. Too loud, it only gives me a bit more performance and the little bitch computer idles at 35 watts and uses 175W at 100%.
The giant tower idles at 85W, and hits 550W at 100%.

I've got so much DDR4 kicking around, sodimm and dimm, that I can't see buying anything other than a DDR4 compatible product for the near future.

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.
