Purchased, the barebone version. Unit design and price are great. The few issues I ran into, was it doesn't seem to support 2*32 memory 64GB dd5-5600 dim kits. Which hopefully the model up from this seems to support.
The other thing that is disappointing is that If they are going for performance and gaming entry product to a degree they systems haven't been well test for upgrades and such. It would be nice to have that information up front regarding memory upgrade specs and other upgrades that user may consider at time of purchase, or down the road when they want to upgrade. Also the audio driver under windows are not reliable. Ran into issue with headphones not getting any sound from the machine audio jack. However plugging into monitor which goes over HDMI they work. Adding a usb sound card: headphone works. Under Linux the audio jack works. However windows 11 pro and clean new install setup. Some reason can't get sound from my times tested apple/iPhone headphones. Which brings me to AMD and their drivers being an issue. Which am not sure whom to address to help with the issue. Cause from their website they just point the user to AMD. Over all AMD drivers seem to be buggy, even something as simple as open KJ karaoke software the singer window makes flashes and has re-draw issues, or blanks out. Which leads me to believe there is a sync and re-fresh/draw issue in the way it handles certain aspects of video libraries.

Amazing performance for such a little thing.

Can max out a lot of old title's, like Skyrim with texture mods etc, the forest on ultra high settings (I got the ryzen 9 32 gigs of ram), I'm going to look into EGPU options as I feel like it would be an absolute beast if that's a good option, might want to use it as an animation and 8k video editing rig.
great

does the job!
Terrible boot time...speedy performance.
Stacy✓ Verified Purchase•October 20, 2023
I added 64gb of ddr5 ram and 2tb SSD. The boot time to minisforum bios is the slowest I've experienced on any pc mini, laptop, or desktop. So because of this it loses a star.
Otherwise after boot into windows 11 pro it is easily one of the best experiences of a Windows session to date. Very responsive, speedy, and runs productivity apps like 365 and video exceptionally well. No interest in gaming, so can't comment on that.
You may want to consider a non barebones model if you don't build pcs because configuration may be challenging and the support isn't the best experience.
Overall I am pleased with the value and performance of the device.

Not a big name machine but works well for my 85" TCL tv
Amazon Buyer✓ Verified Purchase•October 14, 2023
I needed a new Minisforum small frame computer to replace my Asrock 4X4 Box Ryzen 5 4500U small frame computer which was a constant problem from the day I bought it. The Minisforum UM773 has a better Ryzen 7 CPU and better graphics for streaming movies, internet access, and other functions for my 85" TCL Q7 tv. Updating drivers via the Minisforum website in China is *useless*, so other (Avast, etc) Driver Updater programs handle that without an issue. Contrary to what is stated, there is absolutely NO Minisforum online or live Customer Service so this machine is best suited for a seasoned computer user who understands how to handle hardware and software / firmware updates. For users who are rely on better online and human Customer Service from Dell and HP, this is NOT the computer to get. For my use, it works great.
