I built a mini PC i5 12600K RTX 4060 in the Velka 3 case, and it is running really great
That's awesome. Do you use the frame gen features at all? If so what do you think?
ITX build. Such a beauty.
4060?
@@khursheedsalam3830the best low profile gpu is a 4060
Make a video about it
Mini PCs are getting better, i think in 5 years they should be on a more decent gaming level.
They already are, they were just disingenuous in their comparison
@@WayneWatson1yea exactly Igpu vs dedicated gpu why I know you can get mini pc with laptop gpu and some desktop gpu in some slight bigger ones
@@jeremybeaverson7167is it good for lite gaming?how bout the cooler and air flow because its so small
Zotac offers some mini models with really great performance, like the Zotac Magnus series. But the issue is the price, them often being more expensive than a similarly equipped laptop.
Thanks for the video!
I got that mini pc
Few pointées, bluetooth I'd bad through a monitor. It explain the bad response time. Second, you need to go to the bios, change the vrai allocation to 8gig (you got 32, not a problem) and ajustement thr fan curve. The basic setting limits the fans and you lose a lot of performance over too much heat. It's decent, I usually play snowrunner and disblo4 medium settings
with it
That blue dragon mousepad is gorgeous 😮😮😮
My primary use case for the mini pc's is home entertainment - 4k streaming, console emulation, general light-ish PC gaming, that sort of thing. The 680m will play older things like Black Mesa, Fallout 3/4, Blur, Road Redemption and so on at 1080p and generally ~60FPS (running on a 60hz refresh TV). If you aren't adverse to FSR then these mini pc's will serve for more demanding titles as well, so they aren't a total failure on that front. Have not had much opportunity to test my 790pro yet (780m and DDR5 5600MT) but they seem around 30% faster overall on average.
Id like a video on upgrading those old atom laptops, converting to dual channel, upgrading to an SSD etc. I know it's been done a million times but an updated video on that and any other tips you have to boost performance would be appreciated by me at least
Wrong type of channel for that.
I just bought that laptop on B&H for 599 and spent $50 to put 32GB of ram in it. Great portable gaming option.
oh wow that's a great deal, I got the 3050 version for the same price you paid for both the laptop and ram, if not a little more even
Damn I only got 8gb
I think it all depends if you're stationed more at home or have to be on the move a lot more. Mini PCs and Desktops for the home, lappies on the go.
Even if the mini PC is portable too
Idk if it is worse
@@EX5channelyeah but you need the whole monitor, mouse, and keyboard which aren’t really portable like a laptop whereas you only need the laptop and maybe a mouse
If you get a slightly smaller monitor a medium sized keyboard a mouse it can be smaller than that laptop
nah the keyboard an mouse is very portable when you get non standard ones look up ergonomic keyboard some are far smaller an some are split into two half for easy travel then why have mice like flat mice @@chuyees
Love you guys
Great video
I got a Bee-Link with Ryzen 3550H and it works for the lighter games.
How about a video, gaming on imac / on mac os vs on bootcamp running windows 10/ 11. I was gifted a 2017 i5 imac 27inch 5k display pc.. Its freak8ng awesome with gamepass and steam games since it is on bootcamp/ windows 10. Plus i just got an xbox 360 wireless racing wheel complete with pedals. Got it hooked up to display on the imac using a vide capture card from the 360. Really diggin the set up. Waiting on the mailman to deliver an oem microsoft wireless dongle. To hook the wheel directly to the imac
Maybe I will go for an external USB-C monitor with touch. For performing live music I would not need a keyboard and mouse. I also think there would be less fan noise than with a laptop as the pc is further away.
Also in my opinion gaming laptops are heavy and battery life can be an issue.
Edit: this week I changed my mind. I got the GPD WIN Max 2 with a 10" touch screen and a resolution of 2550 x 1600 and it has an amazing performance. Maybe not the best for gaming, but its ultra portable. I can play Age of Wonders on high (just started..) and World of Warcraft on Ultra settings in the older worlds.
Could you try high end mini pc and high end gaming laptop to make difference
Just a suggestion to you folks, consider having a direct comparison between the devices reviewed because it makes it easier to the viewer to acknowledge the differences and maybe have a better decision in buying the relevant device.
huh?
@@joejones6968 He is right, its a stupid comparison "Laptop with discrete GPU vs mini pc with no GPU." This comparison gets even less relevant given minisforum has the HX99G which is Ryzen 9 6900hx and an RX 6650m gpu. I actually just grabbed a barebones for ~$700 which was basically that laptops price point.
I use a Logitech wireless quiet mouse and on one AA battery I get like a year and a half of 8 hours 5 days a week, mice can be really super efficient!
I love quiet mouses :)
so if your in work and if you want a quick game session then a mini pc can do it(specifically this mini pc, i tested another one and it got 45average on halo multiplayer,this was my friends mini pc but it was still plyable if you really do not care about frames)
lil inconsistent w/onscreen benchmarks, overall great vid as always, one benchmark frametime graph, next frametime no graph....w/the graph it does help visually w/showing real time latency, and ppl like graphs :D lol this is not a srs comment by the way, happy turkey day gobble gobble :D and I would go w/the dedicated GPU..so the laptop wins lol
You guys should have gone with the UM790Pro or the UM780XTX - both running the 780m iGPU, running the CPU at 65Watt and running 5600MT DDR5 instead of the 4800 MT in the UM7735; it provides a LOT more performance for not much more $$
Great, but I think that you should compare gaming laptop with dGPU with mini PC with dGPU not APU.
Should go into the bios and allocate more ram to the gpu it help a lot
MONKEY, MONKEY POX
Since the minisforum nucxi7 is no longer being sold id probably just build something or buy a gen behind mid - high end gaming laptop
tbh, getting a mini pc with small lcd screen/monitor is enough for me. I don't want to hassle again opening up laptop just to replace a cmos battery.
mini pc best alternatives for laptop, easly upgrade and cleaning ,,,my beelink sei12 -intel 12450h best quality
0:19 I thought that was the PC for second
Which one is better for editing and photoshop ?
Did u use dlss and frame gen on the laptop?
do a linux vs windows comparison please
if u guys take requests can u review this pc on best buy? the cyberpowerPC gamer master from best buy? The one for 899
Could u try a comparison with the Best Buy laptop? You can choose what to compare it with, I just want to see more content with it because I’m considering buying it
You can try this mini PC with an external GPU via thunderbolt? I think the mini PC is better in this situation u can change GPU
Its a pretty good option but GPU enclosures are quite expensive at that rate its make more sense a full pc setup
@@Jaroartx they make eGPUs that are all in one like the Pocket AI and the GPD G1.
i am stil thinking about buying that laptop i play right now on a Dell latitude e6540 and it is a bit old
Not a very apples to apples comparison given you didn't use discrete graphics on the mini PC. There's several models out there under $800 that come with a Ryzen 7 or 9 and an RX 6600M.
The biggest problem of laptop, is lots of them have external monitor recognition issue. and most ultrabooks cannot upgrade memory.
I got an ad for yall during this video💀
There are some mini pcs that have a separate gpu such as Ryzen 7
Should of used the UM790 Pro over the UM773 Lite. Better CPU and better iGPU in the 780 and less then $100 more.
They should have done the one they had with the 6600m. They were disingenuous in their comparison
Yeah. Dedicated GPU vs iGPU is not really useful for a gamer. More useful was the form factor comparison. Not everyone has space for a large Gaming rig in their Play space.
I moved from a 17" MSI running an 11th gen i7 and a 3050ti to a $200 bare bones UM560 with an AMD 5600H APU Mini PC (I had 32GB DDR4, and a 512 NVME laying around) 8GB of RAM dedicated to the GPU, not that it will use all that. I travel a lot and the mini PC has really shined connecting to the TVs in the hotels I spend my evenings in. I carry a 60% wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. It is much easier traveling with the mini PC, I won't go back. With that said, I am limited with some newer games, so I will likely be buying an HX99G or an HX77G in the near future unless minisforum brings out a better dedicated GPU mini PC. I was watching the Khadas Mind series, but they have gone crazy on the prices, even with the desktop 4060 8GB in their GPU dock.
If you open up your mini pc most of time it is laptop parts in it
Please do a review on ASUS TUFF GAMING A16 Best Buy $749
You would be alot better of putting together a mini itx p.c. For the $750 rather than a mini p.c. With a built in igpu….
6.2 GB memory usage sitting idle on the mini pc. That is sketchy. Probably not getting full performance if there is that much bloatware running in background😂
Who with a limited budget buys a sound bar?
I would lower the budget to make the comparison fairer, ok to include the monitor and the mouse, but that's about it. See how much the mini PC costs with that and then get a same priced laptop.
Else it doesn't look fair to me.
Having said that the laptop is clearly bottlenecking due to the lack of RAM, you can see it with both the CPU and GPU hovering around 50% utilization.
Thanks for the video.
Any chance u can do 1000 dollars budget on both ❤
Its like when your about to buy mac but ur short like 400 bucks but still got 100 bucks taxed including lol
I like these videos but one complaint I'm starting to have is they show the same game play over and over again. It all looks the same to me after awhile.
so, how well do they run cities skylines 2?
Nice machines, but iGPU for gaming without a possibility for an upgrade is not a great choice. Unless you don't want to play most AAA titles.
Most AA titles have a hard time on them.
I got my wife that curved monitor and it does gp up to 180 and its not a bad monitor at all
My Nitro 5 i5-9300h GTX 1650m is getting a little bit tired
Bad comparison given you could have gotten the minisforum hx99G with Ryzen 9 6900hx and an RX 6650m gpu. I actually just grabbed a barebones for ~$700
What are the benchmark program you guys use??
Probably cinebench like it says on there laptop or mini pc
RTX 4050 is basically onboard graphics.
No it’s not ???
Sometimes cheap things are good like I had 11$ keyboard for very long time and a 40$ monitor and they are very good
40 dollar monitor is crazy
Pls try the 406 dollar Walmart pc i5 8th gen 32g ddr3 ram and 1660 super
Hey guys I’m about to buy my first pc and idk if it’s good it’s called a ULTRONIX Gaming Desktop, Intel Core I5 6TH GEN, Nvidia GT1030 4GB, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD can you see if it’s good
Ugreen be sponsoring everyone
i have a mini pc and it works amazingn
I play on an acer nitro 5 with an rtx 4050 but i game frame drops randomly in Fortnite spawn island is there anything I can do?
well does your laptop have good thermals because some nitro 5 models are horridly hot under any load since I would assume that is not helping xd
@@senritsujumpsuit6021 my laptop is fine now, it’s only happened for a few days and then just got adjusted.
If you upgrade the laptop ram it would be very good
GF63. All day yo
Can the mini pc run rainbow six siege
I wish you guys would have also versus those two by pc handhelds like the rog ally and the steam deck.
i love you guys
Add a egpu to that mini pc!
“It is really big” 6:15 that’s what she said
The soundbar really is cheap, here in UK barely 2 hours of legal min, couldn't something better be aforded?
I zip tied 2 blenders together and glued an air fryer to them and it’s the best gaming setup I have ever used. Turn both blenders and air fryer on and then stick both hands in blenders and put your head in the air fryer…it’s amazing and nothing can touch this setup. 🦾💀🦾
Pretty sure you could knock em both out with a standard size case build.
Hear me out, GAMING TOASTER setup WE MUST SEE IT
I game on a calcluter yeah it has rtx 4090
Keyboard is nice.
Atleast you guys should have bought the 780 xd
i hope the laptop survives with it on a mouse pad
put the adds in the end of the vid
Oooga booga yes yes
NO
No
Is this the new bot comment?
@@sweatyjaguar fr😂
Yes, because I too am awesome.
Oh god not the overheating msi gf63
There is no such thing as "gaming on the go" 😅
THATS MY LAPTOP WOAHAHHH
Run starfeild on a pc
they dont know about halo and dew? have they never heard of game fuel from back in the halo 3 days????
Can't wait for AMD to launch their G processers
Would the mini run Roblox?
Bought a minis forum mini pc little over year ago i think. Best computer i have owned, not saying much, but i really like it. Still lacking though. I have un 250 i think
can i get a free mini gaming pc setup
I don't care how much they hype up APUs, the day an APU mimics the power of a dedicated GPU is the day I start asking these GPU card companies WTF. Until then I've had 2 minis forum PCs and both were scrap in under a year. They don't care about their product, only in lying to us about its capabilities so we'll buy it.
Gan chargers should really stop showing apple products they have only basic fast charging
Mini PCs are only good at the $300-$400 range. From $500 and higher, DIY PCs and laptops are better and never look back. That said, I'm happy with my Beelink SER5 Max (R7 5800H, 32GB DDR4-3200, Vega 8).
Apples to oranges.
Bro pls test fortnite on the mini pc
Bamger😊
Intrigued
everything that has radeon graphics inside scks be careful
A PC tower can and always will outperform a laptop on any day of the week and twice on a Sunday. Way better cooling and allot more available power. Lap tops are very much convenient, and cable free, but operating them on their own battery power is sub-standard at best. As soon as you plug them into their own power supply, well, it immediately performs a ton better, but destroying the concept of: "cable free". A PC tower is by far a way better choice.
Towers vs Laptops are always a user-case scenario. Every has different needs and wants. Obviously laptops are going to be limited by power so they will perform less than their desktop counterpart but that gap is getting smaller with every gpu/cpu release (which I think is quite impressive).
Laptops are great for portabilty and multi-use. If you wanna game, surf the net, watch movies and/or work inbetween flights and shifts, then its perfect.
Laptop can be as simple as clam-shut, put in bag, and move on.
