I wonder if amd will come out with a 9xxx series G chip. The 8700g while good is getting a bit long in the tooth in terms of GPU power. I'd be interested in slapping an updated chip has a 890m or 8050/8060S GPU inside of this chassis.

Not at good deal, and also you need to carefully select a processor to be used as the cooling on this systems is really poor. Minisforum was smart to use a mobile chip in the next gen.

Also, buyer beware for buying directly from Minisforum. Buying from Amazon or Newegg gives you the opportunity to get an additional warranty... which given the complaints about Minisforum you might find to be a very useful alternative to their service/warranty support.

Rumor has it they are doing a refresh of the 8000-series APUs
