I can't believe someone took their time to write all these specs and ended up missing key infos like speed of ram or storage capacity smh 😐
It's a barebone and I think you did not realize that.

To be fair the post failed to mention that in the title.

Not for pure CPU performance. But this has better integrated Graphics and USB4 port.

Be aware that Minisforum doesn't support their products well. They put out fantastically spec'd systems in tiny sizes at great prices, but if you do anything like lose the custom mini SATA cables for your device they will not be able to sell you a replacement. They don't appear to have any substantial control nor understanding of their supply chain and parts inventory.

I've owned one since they came out, still my daily driver. Some comments that may help the community:

- 7735 is locked at 4800mt/s Ram. Don't overspend, it wont go faster with faster ram.

- Gaming on the 680m: It's about the same as an Xbox One. The 900p/30fps model that came out years ago, if you routinely game from the couch with a joy-pad, this thing is right up your alley. Example: Forza Horizon 5 at 1080p, High/Ultra settings locked at 30 no matter what the season *with temporal AA on*. If you turn on FSR you will gain roughly 9-10fps, so drop to low/medium with FSR and you're in the upper 50's and 60's sustained at same resolution. Keep in mind, this is on a device drawing 55 watts that is the size of a sandwich.

- USB 4.0 port works flawlessly with those inexpensive $99 USB4.0 eGPU mini-motherboard devices you can get online, so now you can go as fast as the 40gp/s connection will let you go.

- You need to install software to control your fan curve, the default bios fan ramp-up lets the system thermal throttle, may vary by system. Soon as I installed a fan profile app at startup that lets the fan spool up quicker, I haven't had it throttle on me since.

If you have RAM and an m.2 ssd hanging around, just drop $20 for a Windows 11 license and you're good. Would be a truly SLICK deal at $349 with those items included however, don't forget you need 32g of ram for gaming as your "gpu" portion is going to want to eat up a bunch of that for VRAM.

barebone means there's no RAM and storage, you have to open it up and put it yourself.

Seems like it's on sale on Amazon for less and with faster delivery.

nad9 is a little older and uses ddr4 RAM, although it has 2 2.5 HDD/SSD bays that I really want on a newer AMD mini PC's.

This does not appear to include Windows:

"Note: Minisforum does not offer Windows OS license keys for the barebones version."

This UM773 Lite is also currently available from Amazon for $312 after $78 coupon:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8SCT6TS [amazon.com]

But I think the UM690 Pro posted a couple of days ago may be a better value at $339:

I got one used Beelink SER5 Max AMD 5800H based mini Pc from Amazon. Few comments:
1. Initial 1 hour to setup was a struggle (so knew why it was returned). Screen would appear sometimes and just blank other times. I couldn't get the setup to complete. Had 2 screens, Ethernet, usb all connected when trying. Came down to one screen and just usb mouse. Screen came up but again same issue after past a few screens. Then I thought about HDMI cables being used. Was using the latest 4K/8K cables from Amazon. Mistake. Switched over to basic cables I had or one that came with it. Worked and completed setup without issues.
2. Opened up and saw that with 32GB RAM (3200Mhz) and 500GB NVME it also has a SSD slot. Pretty neat and compact design inside.
3. Blazing fast. Windows 11 pre installed and very quiet.
4. AMD Ryzen graphics; though I don't play games, it should play some decent games
5. USB C, USB, HDMI and Ethernet all work well.

Using it for day trading for about a month and glad I found out the issue many people return it for. I have had HDMI issues with latest cables even with FireTV sticks, cubes etc so know there is some backward compatibility issues.

Hope this helps someone facing these blank screen issues.
