I just got a "refurbished" Minisforum PC. When I got it, it was rattling. I opened it up and found a spacing screw laying on the motherboard. The PC wouldn't post. I opened it up again and found where the screw belonged, installed it, and the PC finally did boot. The PC crashed several times. Event Viewer showed multiple memory errors occurring until the PC either blue screened or simply rebooted. I tried multiple drivers and lowered the RAM speed. The RAM is good, so the problem is unfixable by me. Support would respond with up to one email a day at 4 am, even when I responded at 4:01 am I had to wait 24 hours for the next irrelevant email. Minisforum obviously doesn't refurbish their PCs, these are just returns they send back out. Its cheaper to pay for shipping and have the customer troubleshoot problems.

I mean, the point is you aren't paying for the Apple name at $400. That M4 beats the i9 hands down on anything single-threaded.

So yeah: if you are looking to run a mini server that can take advantage of multi-threading, then choose this one.

If you are looking for a mini machine for dev / desktop / creative, and are MacOS literate, the M4 is going to serve you far better.

If you are looking to do any gaming beyond casual, look elsewhere.

Capable of what? This is a desktop mini workstation, not a gaming computer.

If it had 4k@120hz, would have jumped on it.

I've had this PC for a year. Didn't get it to game but from my research you shouldn't be choosing an Intel CPU that has onboard graphics. Therefore the 4k @ 120hz isn't needed.

Disagree. Even if you're not gaming my $250 Dell monitor does 4k120 for standard office work. It's v nice.

How many monitors can be run from it? I just need two monitors for a turbotax machine running Win 11.

Where'd you get the NAB8 for ~$250?
