Venus UM790 Pro Mini PC AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS up to 5.2 GHz 32 GB DDR5 1TB SSD with AMD Radeon 780M, 4X USB3.2, 2X USB4, 2xHDMI 2.1, 2X PCIe4.0, Wi-Fi 6E/BT5.3, RJ45 2.5 G

I never bought a mini pc before and this was the first time. I needed another pc to do work on with a smaller footprint so I decided to look into mini pcs. I researched a littlebit and the reason I chose this was for the 780m and the io ports these suit my needs perfectly. It also looks really great. Minisforum customer service is top notch. I have been using it on and off since I had to travel. I was experiencing bsod and random restarts and I only really began using it after Amazon return deadline. So i decided to contact Minisforum customer service. Their customer service provided me a few fixes to try, but in the end none worked. They told me to send the pc with all the original parts back and they would send me a new one after they confirmed everything. I did just that and only only 2days later I recieved a brand new updated unit! This unit is perfect no more bsod and random restarts. I have my trust in Minisforum now. Will definitely purchase another mini pc from Minisforum in the future if I need to!

Got 2 of these for playing steam games. Able to play baldurs gate 3 in high settings. I got single Amazon basics ups power supply to power both. Really nice that these are low watt and this runs pretty cool. Couple of crashes but usually not daily. Added a 4 tb ssd to both. Haven’t tried adobe products although a Mac mini would probably do this better.

Got this a week ago. It is very fast and responsive but it would crash, freeze up, or reboot by itself without warning a few times a day (3 times already since this morning). I’m still trying to figure out whether it is a hardware issue or a software issue. I set it up as a dual boot Windows and Linux system (but I run Linux most of the time). I’ve invested a lot of time on it to install the software, so I hope it is not a hardware problem that I have to return it. Otherwise I love this little machine. Update: It is so unfortunate that I have to return it, after spending so much time trying to make it work. I’ve combed through the system log files to figure out what went wrong, but I’m unable to come up with a conclusion other than thinking that it is most likely a hardware issue. In just 5 days the computer had crashed more than 50 times. I’ve seen problems with Bluetooth and hard drive (most common), and the last time I witnessed that my screen flickered then emitted a high pitch noise that lasted a split second, but the computer continued to run until I shut it down. When I restarted the screen did not come up and the keyboard was frozen (cap lock would not respond). Then I did another hard shutdown, waited a few hours, but this time it restarted like normal. At this point I decided that the computer is hopeless so I wiped all personal info and reinstalled the system from scratch before requesting an Amazon return. I’m very disappointed with this product, so I took out two more stars.

I'm very satisfied with the UM790 Pro and Minisforum support. It's a quality product and a powerful PC. I have it connected to my docking station with 100W power delivery and it works perfectly, its size is a very good advantage. It's not noisy, it's very similar to a laptop in that sense. Minisforum support through Amazon and email has been very responsive and kind, I find this very valuable. It would be nice to have one of the USBC 4 ports in the back, in my case I'm using it for power and data so it's connected all time. It also would be nice to have a monitoring application from Minisforum to keep track of temperatures and fan speed. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase and the plan is to get 4 units more.

My product is up and running. I replaced a large tower I built 6~7 years ago. It had a Ryzen 5 and of course used a standard motherboard, power supply, etc. I was considered pretty fast at the time. I run CAD software on my P.C. and I need speed. This unit is faster, has as much RAM memory and equivalent SSD storage that my tower did, 1gb. I should say I ordered the 790 with 32GB ram and 1TB of disk space. Given I have a lot of programs, CAD and a whole host of other programs to support it, I used a product called Acronis to take the image of my Tower and overlay it in this new P.C. (it's referred to as installing to dissimilar hardware). After I did that I had essentially a clone of my old Tower running on this UM790. Now the difficulty comes. Whenever one installs to dissimilar hardware, the obvious advantage is that you have minimal reinstallation of programs and the headaches that comes with, e.g. license keys, etc. However the install process overwrites the drivers too. So now your new UM790 has a mishmash of "generic drivers" and mismatched drivers. To take care of this issue I downloaded the driver package from the product's website. Much to my dismay, some of the drivers in the package wouldn't install (or reinstall) to put the mini back to factory fresh. The Bluetooth and wifi drivers were incorrect for the hardware used in this UM790 and I had to invoke AI (Chat) to figure it all out. Two full days later I finally got everything up and running. So, just to close this out. Yes, I'm satisfied as this computer saves me a lot of space. It's performance is equal to, or possibly better than what it replaced. It has an adequate number of USB Ports and one can expand them as needed externally. I gave it 4 stars only in that the driver bundle needs to match the hardware. I and to use drivers from Lenovo and from Dell to get the wifi6 and the bluetooth working.

All the above and more. I was skeptical buying the mini-PC, especially after hours of reviews. This one nailed everything I needed and more for my kid. He needed a gaming PC for R6 Siege, random you tubing etc. Out the box it clearly outperformed his old gaming PC that wouldn't update to windows 11. Lightning fast set up, download and play. 120FPS in R6 without even hitting the system max. He was happier than I've seen him while loading up and playing. Will buy again for my other kids. Great value for all you get. Gaming quality and capabilities unmatched for price. Thank you Mini forum.

Adquirí la UM790 Pro Mini PC AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS con 32 en RAM y a un mes de haber comprado la máquina estoy muy satisfecho. Es muy compacta y trasportable, bastante rápida y sin problemas para ejecutar aplicaciones de ningún tipo. No me ha dado un solo problema. Ya venía con el ultimo firmware instalado de fábrica lo cual me ahorro complicaciones, le agregue un segundo SSD para instalar Kubuntu sin problema (preferible tener un desarmador del tamaño para mayor facilidad). Al momento de encenderla hay que presionar F7 para elegir el S.O. anda de hecho todavía más rápida en Linux que Windows, lo cual es lógico. En cuanto a la temperatura oscila entre 45° a 60° pero estoy en zona muy calurosa lo cual influye. En cuanto los juegos, en Windows con Steam he probado Mortal Kombat 11, Bayonetta, Little Nightmares, Street Fighter V entre otros y los jala como si fuera un PS o Xbox. El único aspecto negativo, por mencionar algo, fue que recién que la empecé a usar, en la primera semana se congelaba completamente, tanto en Windows como Linux y pensé que venía defectuosa, esto me ocurrió unas 3 o 4 veces en total de manera aleatoria (1 vez cada 2 días), pero se solucionó solo y esto no ha vuelto a ocurrir luego de un mes. Sin lugar a duda volvere a comprar productos de la marca. ACTUALIZACIÓN DESPUÉS DE AÑO Y MEDIO DE USO: Hasta diciembre del 2025, no tengo ninguna queja la mini PC, ha seguido funcionando igual de bien como el primer día, pero sí debo de aclarar que al no ser mi máquina principal no le he dado un uso tan extenso, ya que hay días en que no la uso. Diría que, en promedio, en todo este tiempo la he venido usando 5 a 10 horas cinco días a la semana.

Comparing this Minisforum Venus UM790 Mini PC powered by a modern AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS with my old Dell notebook that have inside a 11th generation i9 (same number of cores and threads as this AMD), is like comparing a steam locomotive with a magnetic levitation train (silent and fast). The performance and extensibility of this mini PC is amazing: - two DDR5 slots - two PCIe 4.0 SSD slots - two USB-4 ports, 40 Gbps with PD (we can power this PC with an external 130W battery power bank !) - fast X86 integrated GPU and using the USB-4 ports we can control monster eGPUs like the Oculink ONEXGPU. Summary: What computer science wanted to see inside the ENIAC, VAX, and Cray computers, is now present inside this MiniPC.

First impressions.. quite impressed out of the box so far!.. only tested free games on steam so far as just made an account and would rather not buy all my Xbox games again..bought this mainly for sim racing..car x( running torque drift a mix between high n ultra( some tuning required), also tried underground garage, Descendenrs, seemed to run these games nicely on my projector.. down sizing projector a bit also made it smoother.. havnt figured out how to hook moza wheel up yet for car x, ACC etc(coming from Xbox) but for anybody who wants a capable gaming PC and does not have the space for a full PC setup..would highly recommend ( doesn't care about just running. 4k..1080 is very smooth and looks good enough, for a rainy day casual gamer this thing kicks ass! Specs..32gb/1tb

The game runs with the levels at Medium to High. I going to upgrade to your MINISFORUM Mini PC Neptune HX99G AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX 64GB DDR5 1TB SSD AMD Radeon RX 6600M Mini , I'm hoping that I will be able to run with the levels at High and Ultra. At the time I did not see you 64 GB of Ram . With the extra 500 GB, I'm sure it will be able to keep up with the new " Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 " My Flight friends are looking forward to my reply on the new machine. This machine is only used for the Simulator, so the price looks like fair value.
