The best soluton from that company GenMachine/Tianbo is 6800hs 16/512 $300 miniPC. A bit outdated, but awesome price.

I like the looks of the case.

I love the inclusion of 2.5G LAN on these. When these things age out for HTPC gaming, they will be a wicked fast firewall+caching server, 1G in, but 2.5G out for things like SteamCache

Could you do a comparison of the top 10-15 mini PCs that you've looked at over the last year-ish please? - it would be great to see which ones are best suited to what; e.g. which ones have best general processing, which have been best for gaming, which are best for heat management on extended loads etc., best all rounders for study/office work etc

He won't do this. Because he is just a sellout now.

It's crazy that all these mini pcsthat with the same specs perform the same in all the benchmarks. Thanks for confirming this once again ETA PRIME. Keep up the good work!

love to see how well this runs all high end emulation

At this point, almost as interesting as knowing the limits of performance is knowing the durability of this type of equipment in the long run. After two or three years of daily use, are they still viable? Do they break down a lot? And if its cooling system remained acceptable in both performance and noise levels. And how to manage spare parts.

This sounds like an ideal system for some of the older games I like to play. It would definitely make a nice dedicated "gaming console" with Steam or GOG games.

Very power efficient mini-pc! I would like to see a server version with dual 10GB SFP+. 😋

Dang it, This is going to force me to get one. I absolutely have been loving my GTR7 Pro for the past year. The 7940HS w/64GB and 4TB is incredible, but why have 2 monitors when 2 mini high powered PCs connected seamlessly with synergy3 will do even more! Now to compare the 7940HS with the 8845HS. Now if this only had a fingerprint reader like the Beelink GTR7 Pro. and they got the linux support for the finger print reader.

Good to see power consumption back in your reviews.

Pretty impressive! We managed to get a 4060 into a 3.18 Litre case though after a lot of hard work, we'r working on fitting a 4070 into it currently :D

It's bigger than expected. I was going to go for their GEM10 that has 3 M2 slots inside, but then I got side-tracked by my acquisition of a Samsung Tab S9 ultra which is a fun machine for retrogames, media consumption and can some work stuff done.

CPU & GPU wise, they are almost identical. The only difference is AI.

Its odd, since Prime here does not evaluate any of these things consistently, I've had to go fishing for his older videos on the UM790 (the 7940hs) and it seems to, in some cases, just smoke this "newer" setup. Cyberpunk, for example - non-OC'd he reported ~70 FPS in Cyberpunk on the 790 Pro at 900p, >80 FPS on the same system running at 85 watts, but this one only pulls ~60...man I wish some reviewer would put together a standard benchmarking methodology for these mini PC's...I'd do it myself if I had the time! (and more mini pc's....)

Hi i really enjoy your videos, but I would like to request you bench arma 3, project zomboid and Skyrim on a mini PC as I’m looking to acquire one for a discrete setup at my partner’s house, keep up the good work 👍🏻

What do you do with your builds after. You must have a museum by now.

Thanks for the wrap up, man. What about the noise? Want to order one of these, but not sure about the fan quality. Can you record the noise in normal / stressed mode?

How does the Ryzen chips run AutoCADD and how are they with intense math calculations? I not a gamer but I use the computer for structural calculations and haave always used Intel chips with my current computer using the i9 10900KF. Thanks for your time and I really like your channel format.

iGPU's are always gonna be bandwidth starved as long as they're using regular DDR SDRAM. We can see the potential of APUs in consoles, when they're paired with GDDR memory, but that's less feasible for mini PC and laptop OEMs unfortunately. There's only so much game developers can do about it.

I would love to know what is your personal setup and daily tech!

would love to see this run an eGPU & give us the look at its insides.

In conclussion? how much better is it in gaming when compared to 7840HS with 780M? 5%?10%?20%?

means 8000series cpu setups are 4 x 7000 series DAMN in secret hidden power too

Ok, I'm saddened they decided to go with the HS-variant rather than HX, but DAMN only for $488* (typo mistake before). This thing is cheaper than my SER5 (5560H version) miniPC I use for basic editing. Need to buy this to replace it. I need this iGPU since the Vega iGPU is showing it's age.

Would have been nice to see the temps, since these mini PCs get really hot

What is your thoughts on getting one of these opposed to a Beelink SER6 Max or GTR7 for gaming? I don't really need to play the latest games on the highest settings, but seeing you run Helldivers 2 with pretty decent results definitely got my interest sparked.

3:30 What ticks me off about the 8000 series is that AMD has ALREADY broken their naming scheme. AMD said the first number is the year, and the following numbers represent the tier and features and then the letters at the end are the wattage class. In other words, the 8845HS should have been a lower powered version of the 7845HX, so basically a 7700X clocked to 35W instead of 55w, but the 8845HS is actually a 7840HS. Which IMO is a good thing for this form factor, just sad its not called a 8840HS and the AMD naming scheme means nothing already. I think AMD painted themselves into a corner by limiting the last number to being either a 0 or 5. Imagine if it was 1,3,5,7,9 Then you could have a vast array of products while still having clear naming, including using Zen-C cores extra PCIe lanes, or 3D stacking

I think that is so cool. I’d rather spend money on a nice laptop if I want something smaller than a whole pc build.

Does this device support both M.2 slots populated as well as the SATA 7mm slot at the same time? I think it would be way overkill for the cooling, especially with two hot M.2 drives... It can go to 60+ watts via BIOS, one would assume.

You know ETA PRIME chomping at the bit to get his hands on one of the rumored Strix Halo chips. 20 WGP RDNA 3.5 + 16c Zen 5 + 256-bit LPDDR5X? Yes please!

For Shopee user,the other name for this Mini Pc is SZBOX, I dont know if it is the same one or just different brand logo with same device

I just hope this could overclock at 7500mhz ram at the cpu like the other older series you had. This could save lives😂

This is cool 👍

Would love to see if Linux (Fedora / Arch / Ubuntu) has full chipset driver support. Also Phoronix Test Suite scores perhaps.

I bought a 7840hs at the beginning of Feb. Still waiting on my RAM from Newegg due to "damaged in shipping" issue. Meanwhile, my new little pc has been surpassed 3 times over by the next best one...

These are just spilling of the press. Which is great we will see drastic price drops soon.

Thanks for the review. I'd like to see how Linux does on this platform. Thanks

if you do these miniPCs it would be helpfull to have stresstest data.. heat/noise

I'd love to see PS3 and Switch on this. I want to do a Big Box or Batocera build. Would this be better than the Beelink ser6 max?

Most every non-Chinese made mini PC will have the Windows key built into bios and the Windows install will find the number and any matching install will be activated instant for the life of the machine. Chinese manufacturers save that cost and pass it on to you. You will have to keep records of the key you have to purchase if you ever do a re-install from USB. You should decide if buying these keys from soviet block countries and sending them your cash is worth it to you.

windows has become just another data collection software they don't even care whether you pay for windows or why do you think it is you can use a key all the way back from windows 7 and 8 to register windows 11? Basically everyone has a load of windows keys at this point and MS straight up hands out free keys to every kid in school and students. Even if you don't activate Windows at all they let you use it without any restrictions beside a small watermark on your screen and the inability to change the desktop background easily.

I don't think you are quite up to date on how this works, if you reinstall a computer these days windows (Microsoft) will check the computer and see if it has been previously been installed and will quietly just activate windows without you needing to manually enter the key. This obviously only works if you log in with your Microsoft account, but that is what most people do - I fully expect you aren't one of them.

Is that memory dual channel? that's pretty important to mention for a computer with an iGPU.

Quick question for US and Canadian citizens. Do you have to pay import taxes and customs fees when you order from AliExpress or similar websites? I reside in Germany and we need to pay import taxes of 19% plus a consumer tax and a customs fee which will be determined by the customs office for when I order something from outside of the European Union. So, an order from AliExpress might end up with an additional cost up to 40% in the worst case and around 30% in an ideal situation.

I don't understand your 4K video playback test. Your viewport is 1920x1080 so you cannot view 4K. You cannot view more pixels than your display can show so your test is only showing 1080p even though you have it set to 4K, the extra pixels required for 4K are simply being removed during processing.
