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!

First off, I had issues with WiFi (would randomly disconnect). I did some research and changing the MIMO Powersave mode to "No SMPS" fixed it. Completely fixed the random disconnects. Other than the wifi hiccup, I have had nothing but great experiences with this mini pc. Incredibly fast and smooth. Highly recommend.

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.

So amazing to see that computer can be this small and this fast today. A few things to note: This is not a gaming powerhouse but a gaming super house. Most games it can handle but anything AAA or demanding will not run. Make sure to check before buying any games. The eGPU function should fix that but it's too bad. MAKE SURE to bring the UMA Frame Buffer Size up to 8gb. It will help with gaming. And change the power mode from Balanced to Performance in the bios as well.

I appreciate the quad monitor support. I am using two horizontal Samsung Viewfinity S5 Ultrawides at 1440p and two vertical Dell P2317H at 1080p. I am impressed with it's equipped dual HDMI 2.1 ports and two USB4 ports, seamlessly connecting up to four external monitors. This is perfect for multitasking in a versatile and efficient setup. Whether i'm working on complex projects, editing videos, or simply enjoying a more expansive workspace, this unit delivers a smooth and reliable multi-monitor experience. Mounting the unit behind the bottom monitor saving all the space on the desk for accessories. Ryzen 9 7940HS | Radeon 780M offer high frame rates and smooth gameplay even in demanding titles. benchmarks for the UM790 Pro has shown impressive results, making it a viable option for gamers looking for a compact yet powerful unit. The expandable memory and dual M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD slots allow me to enhance the performance further, I equipped it with G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR5-5600 64GB RAM and a Western Digital_BLACK SN850X 2TB SSD to sit with its already equipped Phison PS5027-E27T 1TB SSD totalling 3TB. I put stickers on my unit for fun.

At first, this was a great mini PC meeting my needs. About 3 months later, it is virtually useless. I got this with the main intention in mind being a TV connection for streaming tv shows/movies, as well as light gaming via steam. I already have other consoles, so this was reserved exclusively for indie/low demand games. Now, I can’t go 5 minutes in a low performing game without my drivers crashing. I’ve tried every troubleshooting process and solution I can find to no avail. Only reason this gets a second star is lasting 3 months and still turning on.

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.

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.

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.

Recién sacado de la caja, lo conecto y nada, no prende..intenté conectarlo a diferentes enchufes...nada...devolución realizada después de 20 minutos de abrir la caja, que desilusión...

I went through the setting to upgrade it to Windows 11 Pro which took me to the Microsoft store and spend $150 cdn and now can't proceed with the upgrade. It keeps throwing me an error of Ox80070490. I have tried easy fixes like DISM to restore the image and SFC to check it hasn't worked for me. I'll figure it out later trouble shooter through back error with windows update. I've only only had for a day so I will edit this once I get this sorted. Solid hardware but not impressed with initial setup process. for a $1000 Cdn/taxes it's hardware is decent if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. After do a total fresh resetting of windows I was able to upgrade to Pro and and everything seems to be working properly and I am very pleased 😀 with this computer
