We can now reserve the first low power mini PC that we see with an AMD Ryzen 5 4500U APU that until now we had only seen in laptops.

This new Minisforum arrives in a small size case, 149.6×149.6×55.5 mm, with a typical design of this brand, but this time allows the inclusion of up to 2 SATA3 2.5 mm storage drives.
