MINISFORUM UM880 Plus Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS(8C/16T, up to 5.1GHz), 32GB DDR5 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD, HDMI+DP+USB4 Triple Outputs, OCuLink Port, 2.5G LAN, 5x USB Port, Radeon 780M Graphics Micro Computer

To be clear, this review is for the Minisforum X1 Lite-255 with 64GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. Not sure why Amazon is mislabeling this review under a different product on the same page. I think I am done with full size computers. It's hard to believe just how fast these mini PCs have become and when they are built with quality RAM and storage and have great cooling while costing less than a typical full size computer, I can't find any reason to back. This little guy has 8 cores and 16 threads and nearly hits 5Ghz while remaining nearly silent and having no heat issues even on the most intense tasks. The RAM and SSD are made by Crucial and are not the generic 'cheap stuff' other manufacturers often use to increase their own profit. The case is entirely plastic. This is a good thing because metal cases block WiFi and Bluetooth signals to a point. With plastic, WiFi and Bluetooth range are fantastic on this little guy! I also appreciate that Minisforum sells a version of this exact mini PC without any RAM, SSD or operating system. These days, those components can double the price of a computer. So if you already have your own, its less waste and a big cost savings if you are a DIY type. I love this has USB4 and it has an OcuLink port. By default, with the model I ordered, it has a 1TB NVMe drive that runs at top Gen4 speeds (see photo) with no heat issues. Next to it is an empty M.2 slot for expanding the storage. Alternately, you can use the OcuLink adapter included in the box to install in the empty M.2 slot if you prefer to use it for an eGPU. Your choice and it's not sold separately. It's included at no extra cost and can be removed if you change your mind later and want to use the second M.2 for storage later on. While this mini OC can play plenty of games as-is with it's built-in AMD Radeon 780M graphics, the sky is the limit when gaming with an external GPU using OcuLink. This little guy does my photo editing and my video editing with ease and I can't get over how cool and quiet it stays! The RAM can be upgraded. It is NOT soldered in like other models. Same is true with the WiFi/Bluetooth adapter (a MediaTek) and the aforementioned NVMe SSD. Mine came with Windows 11 Pro 24H2. I updated it to 25H2 and update the AMD Adrenlin and chipset drivers and, again, I find it hard to believe you get so much in every category of computing and pay so little for it! The CPU in here has no NPU (no AI processor) so I also save money there for something I have no use for. I expect Minisforum to be a household name in a few years. They have been around since 2018 and I have been very impressed with their products, prices, warranty and support so much, I have been buying from them ever since with each year bringing new designs and more performance and functionality with each new generation. Minisforum just makes these mini PCs with so much unique ingenuity that many of their models have no equal competitors (yet!) So, for whatever it's worth, until you get one in your own hands and see for yourself, I don't know the words to express my happiness with this purchase!

The UM880 Pro is a testament to how far mini PCs have come. Here's a breakdown of what makes it stand out: Exceptional Performance: The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor with its integrated Radeon 780M graphics is the star of the show. It delivers impressive performance for everyday tasks, demanding productivity workloads, and even light to moderate gaming. Future-Proof Connectivity: The inclusion of an OCuLink port is a significant advantage for users who might want to connect an external GPU down the line, offering a near-desktop-level graphics experience. The dual USB4 ports also provide high-speed data transfer and display output capabilities. Sleek and Compact Design: It's a stylish and well-constructed machine that can easily be placed on a desk without taking up much space. The design also allows for easy access to internals for upgrades. Quiet and Cool Operation: Despite its powerful components, the UM880 runs cool and quiet under normal workloads, making it a pleasant companion for any workspace. My customer support experience with MINISFORUM Support team was very positive experiences , very timely responsiveness . Thank you,

The Minisforum UM880 Plus is a seriously cool mini PC. I initially bought it to replace my son's aging all-in-one (AIO) desktop, which had become painfully slow with the software he uses. My first thought was to stick with the AIO format to save space under the desk. After researching the current market, I realized that a typical 27-inch, 1080p AIO with average specs—like an AMD Ryzen 5, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD—would run me around $1,000 after tax. ​A quick bit of research led me to a much better solution: buying a mini PC with significantly superior hardware and pairing it with a nice 27-inch 4K monitor. This combination not only delivered a similar compact footprint but also cost me several hundred dollars less. ​After comparing brands like Beelink, GMKTEC, and Minisforum, I settled on the Minisforum UM880 Plus. I was impressed by its powerful, future-proof hardware (including an OCuLink port!) offered at a reasonable price point. We were happy users for about four months (since mid-April 2025) with absolutely no issues. The performance was fantastic. ​Then, one day, my son told me the mini PC wouldn't turn on. That was my single biggest moment of frustration with the product. ​Fortunately, Minisforum's customer service was exceptionally fast and reassuring. They quickly sent me a FedEx shipping label and promised the repair would take only about 48 hours at the US located repair center. I was genuinely surprised when I received a text from FedEx confirming an upcoming delivery just a few days later. ​The repaired mini PC was delivered the next day. I tested it, and we haven't had any issues since. ​I'd like to extend a big thank you to Andy, the Minisforum customer representative. He was incredibly responsive to all my questions and ensured the entire repair process was smooth and stress-free. ​Final Verdict: ​Would I buy this mini PC again? At this moment, my answer is a definitive yes. The combination of top-tier hardware, compact size, and outstanding customer support makes the UM880 Plus an easy recommendation.
