Article states DDR5 6500 multiple places which is just a transpose as it's 5600.

I'm really curious what these types of devices will end up looking like when CAMM modules have more general availability. I'd be really tempted to get something like this as a low power consumption gaming system if it could support higher speed DRAM.

The cheapest RTX 4070 laptops are under $1100 right now. Very unlikely this will be anywhere near that price.

Unless they offer a significant value over a traditional clamshell laptop I just don't see the point of these.

I would think that a mini PC with a laptop CPU in essentially an eGPU enclouser that allows for smaller form factor desktop GPUs would be a better consumer product. I get that this kinda exists with external Occulink adapters, but they are all clunky, made up of several different parts, bring-your-own-power-supply affiars that don't fully enclose the GPU.

Maybe a slim as possible mini PC, not unlike this, that has a GaN power supply for the desktop GPU and use an in-house branded GPU with a blower cooler, or even an offset cooler, to reduce the footprint. IDK if that could ever get price competitive with a laptop, when the cheapest RTX 4090 laptops are under $3k and will perform as well as a 4080 desktop for most workloads & gaming.

Minisforum pricing is usually comparative to equivalent hardware laptop pricing. It's the big name manufacturers who always fleece for the minipcs which I've never quite understood for exactly the reason you state.

That being said a 14900HX/4070 laptop is more like $1700+ still so there's a lot of room for them to undercut not that they will. If it's anything like the Intel 11th Gen/3070 one they did the pricing will be about the same as a laptop or a bit higher than the lowest available. The time to get one of these would be when they're closing them out as that Intel one I mentioned went for around $800 when it was still competitive.

Eew 14ty gen

Finally, they're beginning to finally think about making what I've been wanting for far too long now. I don't need/want the mouse/screen/keyboard, I only want the motherboard with desktop chip cooling, in a small box. None of these mini-PC's to date have any GPU power, but laptops do! I'm still thinking about just building my own to finally get what I want, but I cringe at the thought of paying for a bunch of hardware I don't need just to get the one part I do need.

But unless they put some real desktop chip coolers in there somewhere, it's just going to be another obnoxious oven with tiny little baby fans that cry all day long!

Thermal throttle is never an acceptable condition, let alone an option! My 12th gen i9 will thermal throttle just simply opening a web browser.... Unacceptable! Yeah, I still probably have to build my own to finally get what I want, none of these manufacturers seem willing to do what it takes to pack top of the line hardware into a small box AND keep it cool enough without using obnoxious little baby fans that just make my ears bleed. But it is nice to see that someone is finally beginning to think in this direction.

Someone skipping the proofread?

announce a device for pre-order without making it available for pre-order

Yeah, all the portability with none of the actual 'portable' use. A *slight* improvement over NUC type form factors with the actual GPU but that seems about it to me.

Take any notebook computer...
Delete the screen
Delete the keyboard
Delete the battery
and you have a mini-PC at a good price point.

You would be using industry standard parts in an industry standard form factor.

Er 14th Gen Intel? Good luck

Why is Toms Hardware pushing / shilling Intel 14th anything at this point?

Er baby fans are the problem -try failing CPU?

Are you sure you want this??

Why would anyone want a 14th gen intel?
