I think part of the issue with MiniPCs is that the companies are small operations and it's evolving. The build quality seems to get better and better over time and they're better cooling the new models.
Apple has no problem making reliable small computers, this is just a quality issue.

Rather than running the 7945HX to its highest TDP mode, they have made sure that it boost up to 100W max and stable around 85W. In Cinebench loop, the temp never goes up over 85 degree C, which is a pretty good for a 16 Core CPU, taxing all the cores.
$769 is a great price as I paid $999. If I were to do it again I'd probably pay the extra and get it for the current $889 price on Amazon though. The first one I received from Minisforum had major issues - ports misaligned, case not fitting right etc. and while Minisforum were really helpful it took 5 weeks for the replacement.
However.... this comes with a much much lower thermal limit.
