@@TatoebotI mostly got this because I am almost getting it as a means to consolidate my MacBook and Xbox series S into one device. I already have compatible displays and peripherals so this is the best option for me. It was either the HX99G, one of the various handhelds, or a gaming laptop, but then this came out and I was able to get the 3070 model for $976 so I’m hoping it all goes well but we’ll just have to wait and see. The main reason I didn’t get an actual laptop is mostly due to cooling concerns and the fact that I haven’t even opened the screen on my MacBook in more than a month as it usually just stays plugged in and connected to an external display. I didn’t really need something with all that extra stuff and just wanted something I could easily fit in a suitcase or backpack and bring with me on trips since I’d still be bringing the keyboard, mouse, and screen anyways.
@@Tatoebot You don't have to pay full price for these. There was a flash sale of 60% off the other day. I got mine (also on order) for ~800$, which makes it a MUCH better value.
You should check this for preinstalled viruses ... like Bladabindi etc. In germany we had a Acemagic PC with preinstalled Malware... only a hint maybe they fixed this in the meantime
They probably went with a gen 3 nvme SSD due to concern of heat dissipation. Gen 4 nvme ssd’s get really hot and based on how little room they had in the case, they probably couldn’t fit/design a heatsink for a gen 4 nvme ssd. My guess is that nvme SSD has DRAM and decent read/write speeds for Gen 3.
I'd buy a laptop with similar specs and carry an hdmi cable. Far more practical, because taking that cube thing with you on the go would be sort of ridiculous.
It's made to save space on a desk as opposed to travel. If you're staying in a place for long term this is better; otherwise if it's a short term stay, laptop.
I found it as low as $1200 and that's not a bad deal. You can find a comparable 4070 laptop for around the same price, but you'll likely have more fan noise and won't be nearly as much as a conversation piece. This thing has a "cool factor" that no laptop will ever match. Pair it with a 18v battery inverter and portable USB screen, and you could have a viable, modular, laptop replacement.
Liquid coolers (AIO) are honestly trash lately due to the liquid inside gunking up and becoming faulty. If you’re willing to spend enough for a liquid cooler then get a high end air cooler and it might even be better
I remember my first laptop, was so impressed with technology playing a-train ans Sim city, the way things are going now days is awesome, it might be lower quality, but the size and what it can do is perfect, specially if you get it for kids who Lan and such
Love the videos! Just wanted to point out something that isn't a huge deal or anything, but in the benchmark part of the video, you mis-labeled the call of duty game you were playing. It says MWII in the video, but it's actually MWIII.f Kepp up the great videos, very entertaining and informational!
Having these powerful mini PC’s is kinda pointless if they’re not being sold at affordable prices. A small device like this should be a low entry point to PC gaming compared to a full desktop, not be MORE expensive.
I'd like to have a mini gaming pc for bed gaming on a projector. That being said, its a 1080p projector I use and right now the Steam Deck is filling my need, but I'd like something a bit more powerful that doesnt cost a grand.
I travel a lot, and I have always been disappointed with laptops. So many issues, no matter what brand I have. This looks like it would work great as a travel PC so I can game when I am stuck in a hotel and only have their TV (though I would probably take a 34" monitor). I am not too disappointed with what it is giving.
Question, I’m trying to update the graphics driver from GeForce experience & it keeps saying this NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows, & everything is up to date. Do you know how I can fix this?
I just bought one for 45% off im a trucker this so on sale this was worth the money and unfortunately it performs much better than a xbox and my desktop that is 4 years old. For traveling its more enjoyable than a console and easier to transport in the harbor freight pelican case i bought for everyrhing
That mini pc is a good looking unit, but not good value for money, it would be great as a media centre/gaming macine attached to a tv system due to the aesthetics
I would like a mini case and install my gaming laptop's parts into it for connecting to my entertaining room setup next to my PS5/Switch. I'm anti-desk these days.
@@huseindawilz8359 I have barely 4 months with it. It's been an excellent product, but it's a bit premature to make a judgement. I'll wait until its first year to see how good it was.
The HX99G is half the price, half the size, whisper quiet and handles 1040p much better. The 3080m should perform better but it’s neutered to 80w where the minisforum 6600m uses 100w.
The 3080 in this uses 125w, but still, it's all preference whether you want a 6650M or a 3070M in a mini PC for just about 1k. I doubt anyone would buy these if they weren't on sale for 40% off pre-orders. Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to getting the 3070 model.
While it looks interesting, as a portable pc the design does make everyday carrying more difficult, unless one has a bag designed for something this shape, a la the original Mac carrying bags. By not including the screen, it does offer a price/performance benefit over similarly priced gaming laptops, but narrowly. The higheer end Tank you tested, at $1800, should outperform most $2000 gaming laptops that have a 3070 Ti mobile, vs. the 3080 mobile in the Tank, but I expect the gain to be narrow (narrower than the laptop would be, physicaaly - more like Chromebook narrow.)
Just a great business idea lets remove the screen then sell to them more pricy than a 3060 laptop sorry but its called a licenced scam.Max price should be 1000dollars.
I was outta the navy when the pentiums first came out. I didnt know about the flawed floating point coprocessor. It played doom flawlessly. Anyways i get a letter stating that the chip aint made to specs and im in on a class action lawsuit and i can get a new pentium processor. Sure ill take it. No problem open it up old one out new one in lickety split.
You're definitely paying for size and convenience. Giving the size and mobile CPU/GPU, you're gonna get less performance. The tooling and manufacturing of this case alone probably cost a lot.
I think if you've got space for a desktop and you are going to drop this much money. You could build far better. In any other case your gunna get a better deal shopping for a laptop. The minis market is just so far from the norm and more close to the I need to hide a gaming pc under the desk at work. lol
Ah guys, technology is evolving, the era of Massive Towers is gone. You are talking like the old dudes in the 40/50s criticizing the new line of cars from the 60s LOL
More for someone who likes the design and got money to burn. A laptop would be much more practical if you want something portable. A desktop would make more financial sense if used at home.
Better buy a laptop, take off limits and watercool it... :D Im running clevo laptop with 10870h no limits and 3060 115w bios mod and watercooling. Silent, great gaming performance, temps under 50 under heavy load :D :D

The most over priced mini PC on the market. You could build a mini itx with better parts that can be future proof for less than this junk.
