Minisforum has now opened pre-orders for the newly launched EliteMini AI370. This mini PC, featuring the AMD Strix Point, is currently offered in just one configuration, priced at $1,099, thanks to a special introductory discount. If you place your order before November 20, you'll also receive a $100 gift card, and the first 150 buyers will get a mouse and keyboard combo included.
Specifications and Features
The EliteMini AI370 is one of the first models to come equipped with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The single available configuration includes a Zen 5 APU, paired with 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. Although the memory cannot be upgraded by the user, it can support up to 4 TB of storage (like the 2 TB Samsung 990 EVO Plus SSD, which is currently priced at $149.99 on Amazon).
Graphics Performance
This Strix Point APU is also integrated with the RDNA 3.5 AMD Radeon 890M, which is the highest-end integrated GPU in this lineup. Our analysis shows that it delivers up to 15% improved performance in synthetic benchmarks and around 18% better in gaming compared to the previous generation Radeon 780M.
Minisforum claims that the iGPU within the EliteMini AI370 can achieve over 60 FPS in many modern AAA titles. Additionally, the mini PC is built with a strong cooling system that ensures stable performance, even under heavy load.
Connectivity Options
In terms of connectivity, the Minisforum EliteMini AI370 includes one USB4 port, four USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports, one DisplayPort 2.0, one HDMI 2.1, and two 2.5G Ethernet ports. It does not feature an OCuLink port like the Aoostar GEM10 370, which would have made it a more attractive option for eGPU setups. However, the USB4 port should suffice for a lot of users' needs.
