Before the mass production of Core Ultra, the AMD Ryzen 7040 platform is undoubtedly the performance ceiling for integrated graphics platforms. Taking the Ryzen 7 7840HS as an example, its multi-core CPU performance is close to that of the 13th generation Core i7-13700H. The integrated Radeon 780M graphics can compete with NVIDIA’s early GTX 1650 discrete graphics when paired with dual-channel high-frequency memory, making it capable of smoothly handling most AAA games at 1080P+ medium-low settings.
Therefore, if you want to buy a high-performance mini PC during the Double Eleven festival, prioritizing products equipped with the Ryzen 7 7840HS processor is definitely a good choice. In this issue, Jian Sheng has compiled a list of 11 popular mini PCs currently on the market. Do you know which one suits you best?
It is important to note that the prices mentioned in this video are all for system quotes without memory and hard drives, as purchasing memory and hard drives separately and installing the system yourself is more cost-effective. However, if you do not have enough DIY experience and installation skills, it is still recommended to spend a little more money to choose a fully assembled system, which is reliable and hassle-free, ready to use right out of the box.
Mingfan UM790 Pro (system price 2899 CNY)
The Mingfan UM790 Pro is one of the first batch of mini PCs based on the Ryzen 7040HS platform to be mass-produced and launched, and it also features the more powerful Ryzen 9 7940HS. With the help of an innovative cooling structure aided by liquid metal cooling, it allows the processor to operate at a sustained power release of 65W.
At the same time, this product has adopted a more refined integrated metal body, with 2 fully functional USB4 ports, 2 M.2 hard drive slots, active cooling for memory and hard drives, a killer wireless network card, and a graphical BIOS interface, all of which further enhance its competitiveness.
The current system price of UM790 Pro is 2899 CNY, and there is also the option of UM780 Pro from third-party vendors, priced just over 2400 CNY. Additionally, Mingfan will soon launch the UM780 XTX, which upgrades to dual 2.5G network ports, dual fully functional USB4 ports, adds Ouclink, and features a replaceable backlight etching plate on the top cover, with performance release reaching 70W, making it one of the most anticipated new Ryzen mini PCs of 2023. For detailed reviews and experiences, you can follow the subsequent updates from Tech Jian Sheng.
Mechanical Revolution Wujie S mini (system price 2399 CNY)
The Wujie S mini is a sister model of the Mingfan UM780 Pro. It is identical to the UM780 Pro in terms of appearance design, workmanship, material, interface layout, and expansion capabilities, also featuring dual fully functional USB4 ports, dual M.2 hard drive slots, auxiliary cooling design for memory and hard drives, liquid metal cooling, and a Chinese graphical BIOS interface, as well as the core selling points of sustained 65W power release, and its system price is also set at 2399 CNY, making it more affordable.
During the Double Eleven period, this product’s 16GB+1TB full version also participated in the 10 billion subsidy event, with an actual price of only 2799 CNY, making it one of the cheapest mini PCs currently available with the same configuration.
Zero刻 GTR7 (system price 2995 CNY)
The design of the Zero刻 GTR7 is full of geek style, featuring a colorful exterior, the richest interfaces among mini PCs of the same size, more technologically advanced fingerprint recognition and magnetic charging, and dual M.2 hard drive slots that are more in line with current trends, along with a more luxurious VC heat spreader, making it a textbook example among mini PCs.
However, the Zero刻 GTR7 did not launch any promotions during the Double Eleven period, and its system price of 2995 CNY does not offer significant price advantages. For most ordinary users, if you like the design of the Zero刻 PC, Jian Sheng still recommends the following SER7 during this time.
Zero刻 SER7 (full version 2799 CNY)
The Zero刻 SER7 is also one of the most balanced mini PCs on the Ryzen 7840 platform, with a power release of up to 65W. Its aesthetics, interfaces, and expansion capabilities are also flawless. During the Double Eleven period, this product has started a major promotion, with the standard version featuring 16GB of memory and a 1TB hard drive priced at 2799 CNY, making it a great deal.
The Zero刻 SER7 has a small fan installed between the motherboard and bottom shell, which can assist in cooling memory and hard drives, showing thoughtful detail design. The internal configuration includes 2 DDR5 memory slots, 2 M.2 hard drive slots, and for those with a need for 2.5-inch hard drives, one of the M.2 slots can be replaced with a SATA slot, but users need to purchase the adapter separately.
Magic Cube M600 (system price 2799 CNY)
Among the mini PCs based on the Ryzen 7040HS platform that have already been launched, the Magic Cube M600 is undoubtedly one of the most competitive options, featuring three hard drive slots that are not available in competing products of the same size and level, with USB4, HDMI, and DP video output interfaces, equipped with 2 2.5G network ports, and maintaining low noise levels of 40 decibels during gaming or stress testing, making it a killer feature for those who dislike wearing headphones while gaming or creating content.
The Magic Cube M600 can be configured with either R9 7940HS or R7 7840HS, with the latter offering the best cost-performance ratio, and the system price is 2799 CNY, making it very suitable for players who seek a compact size, the ability to be wall-mounted, the capacity to hold three hard drives, and the need to play AAA games without excessive noise.
Mechanical Master Creator mini (system price 2499 CNY)
As the second-generation mini PC under Mechanical Master, the new Creator mini has optimized its internal structure, making disassembly and upgrades easier. The increased ventilation holes on both sides and bottom, along with the new fan bracket, have improved its cooling performance to the best level among similarly configured PCs. The replaceable fiber cover, fully functional USB4, and dual 2.5G network ports are also plus points, with the only downside being that it only has one M.2 hard drive slot.
Compared to other mini PC manufacturers that focus on high cost-performance, Mechanical Master has conducted more stringent quality and stability tests for the Creator mini second generation and provides three years of on-site warranty service for over 2413 counties and districts nationwide. When encountering software system issues, there is no need to return to the factory; engineers can resolve them on-site. Currently, the system price of this product is 2399 CNY, and if you have a limited budget and prioritize quality and after-sales service, this product will definitely not disappoint you.
Tiancai Cyber GOD78 and MN5XH (system price 2498 CNY)
The mini PCs under Tiancai with the Ryzen 7 7840HS platform have derived two sub-models, MN5XH and Cyber GOD78, with the main differences being color and top cover design. Personally, I prefer the Cyber GOD78 a bit, as its top cover resembles a cyber-style armor, and when powered on, it emits cool backlighting from the gaps, and it also supports user-defined RGB lighting effects, making it a beautiful sight on the computer desk.
Both of Tiancai’s models are equipped with fully functional USB4, dual 2.5G and gigabit network ports, HDMI2.1 and DP1.4 interfaces, providing good connectivity. They adopt a vertical airflow design with a large 9cm fan that requires very low speeds to achieve or exceed the airflow and cooling capabilities of commonly used small turbo fans during high-speed operation, significantly reducing noise interference. Unfortunately, both machines only have one M.2 hard drive slot, but at the price of 2498 CNY, they are relatively affordable and suitable for players who enjoy visual effects.
Panray HA-4 (system price 2399 CNY)
Unlike other PCs that tend to use an integrated metal chassis, the Panray HA-4 adopts a metal frame design with four metal panels attached, allowing for a ring-shaped breathing light strip to be added at the seams of the upper part, officially named the “Dynamic Ring”, supporting seven lighting effect modes.
Among similarly configured products, the expansion and connection capabilities of the Panray HA-4 are relatively average, but the system price of 2399 CNY is quite affordable, making it suitable for those who appreciate a metallic feel and cool lighting effects.
Jimo K4 (system price 3299 CNY)
The Jimo K4 continues the classic mold of its predecessors K1~K3, featuring an integrated metal chassis, a total volume of less than 0.6L, and a tool-free hand-opening upgrade design, equipped with fully functional USB4 interfaces that support 100W PD charging, and powered by the more robust Ryzen 9 7940H processor. However, this product only has one M.2 hard drive slot, and the current system price is as high as 3299 CNY, making its cost-performance ratio average and not highly recommended.
Everyone can continue to follow the upcoming K6 from Jimo, which will feature the Ryzen 7 7840HS processor, adopting a brand new appearance, structure, interfaces, and internal design, with a performance release of up to 65W and an initial price of only 2299 CNY, making it a potential bestseller.
FEVM FA780 (system price 2399 CNY)
FEVM seems to be a new brand, and the FA780 surprised many with its initial price of 2399 CNY, but as other brands followed suit with price adjustments, its price advantage has diminished.
According to the official promotion, this brand currently only offers a one-year warranty for the entire machine. From the promotional images, the FA780 only has one M.2 hard drive slot, and the standard power adapter is an outdated brick style, while other brands’ new products have already switched to smaller 120W chargers from Huanjia. Therefore, as a new brand without pricing power, the selection weight naturally decreases when there is no price advantage.
Pan Sheng Storm Dragon M3 (full version 2999 CNY)
The Pan Sheng Storm Dragon M3 is a mini PC based on the Ryzen 7 7840HS platform that wins with aesthetics, featuring adjustable backlighting in three zones and a mech-style decoration on the top cover as its core selling points. However, the official promotion contains numerous omissions and errors, which leaves us feeling somewhat uncertain until we see the actual device tested.
The initial price of this product for the 16GB+1TB version was only 2699 CNY, but it seems to have risen back to 2999 CNY. Compared to strong competitors like Zero刻 SER7 and Wujie S mini, it appears to lack competitiveness.
