The FIREBAT MN56 is possibly one of the best balanced mini PCs we can find for less than 300 € thanks to its processor and its 16/512 GB
A mini PC that surprises us with its cooling, with a 90 mm fan that provides a great airflow and low noise and its RGB lighting, which we can easily turn off thanks to a button on the box. As processor, we have the powerful Octa Core AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS, a chip that only differs from the Ryzen 8845HS by not having the NPU for AI enabled, although it reaches 39 TOPS using the CPU. In the graphics section we find a Radeon 780M iGPU with RDNA3 architecture that allows us to run quite demanding games. You can see how this processor performs in the review of a similar device.
We also count as outstanding ports with a USB4 connector with video output and PD. From what we read, it usually comes with a module of 16 GB DDR5 5600Mhz Crucial RAM and if we plan to use it for games better buy another one like it to activate the Dual Channel, as it doubles the performance of the iGPU Radeon 780M.
