Minisforum AI X1 Pro Debuts at $899 with AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Modern Connectivity Features
The mini PC manufacturer, Minisforum, has introduced its latest offering in its catalog, called the AI X1 Pro Mini PC, boasting the powerful 12-core AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU. The mini PC offers an ultra-compact footprint and saves a lot of desk space while offering incredibly high computing.
Since the Minisforum AI X1 Pro is powered by the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 APU, users will get 12 cores and 24 threads for both gaming and productivity and can utilize its powerful integrated graphics, the Radeon 890M. The Radeon 890M is capable of playing modern games at 1080p without any need for a discrete GPU, but the AI X1 Pro offers the option to add an external graphics card through the OCulink port.
You can add your favorite powerful discrete GPU through the OCulink port and enhance the graphical power of the system to play games or execute intensive graphical workloads such as video editing and 3D rendering. However, the Radeon 890M is capable enough to do these tasks efficiently without requiring any additional space.
The Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 brings up to 80 TOPS of performance for intensive workloads such as AI operations and multitasking, while remaining ultra-power efficient, working in a TDP range of 45-65W. The system can be upgraded up to 96 GB of LPDDR5X memory with a max speed of up to 5600 MT/s. For storage, there are 2x M.2 2280 NVMe ports that support up to 4 TB of storage.
The mini PC uses a minimalistic silverish exterior that takes even less space than a standard console and can be carried inside a backpack hassle-free. The AI X1 Pro also brings modern features such as Real-Time Subtitles for video calls and movies, and Recall to access the timeline on your PC for accessing various files. It also features dual noise-canceling DMICs and has built-in speakers that are paired with Copilot AI for speeding up work.
Users will find the latest connectivity features on the mini PC as well, including wireless features like Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for internet and peripheral connection with improved stability. Wired connectivity includes several USB A and Type C ports, including USB 3.2 Gen 2, and USB 4 with Alt PD of up to 100W. There are also various display outputs like HDMI 2.1 and DP 2.0 for powering the displays and miscellaneous ports such as a 3.5mm audio jack, DMIC, SD card, and OCulink port.
The Minisforum AI X1 Pro mini PC weighs just 1.5 kg and measures 195x195x42.5mm in dimension. Minisforum has launched it for $899 and the AI X1 Pro can be bought from the company's official website.
