Still looking for a Prime Day PC deal? Although Amazon's summer sale is over, I didn't see anything that could match this one, and it's still on sale now. It's the Minisforum 790S7, which is $895 (was $1119) at Newegg.
This gaming/creator mini workstation packs in some incredible components, including an AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX, Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. Those are some head-turning specs for the price.
I think you'll be hard pushed to find anything better for less than $1000, but I'd love to be proved wrong.
Today's top Minisforum PC deal
Packed in a compact, classy chassis that reminds me of more expensive workstations, the 790S7 houses a AMD Ryzen 9 7940HX processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, by far the most powerful CPU in this price range.
Paired with a 1TB SSD and 32GB of RAM, it would top my list in any case when it comes to sheer computing power - it can take up to 128GB of DDR5 RAM and there’s another free SSD slot (both PCIe Gen4). However, the other gem in this rig is an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU. Minisforum doesn’t specify the RAM configuration, but it's likely an 8GB GDDR7 one.
There’s plenty of ports as well with separate audio connectors (not something common on mini PCs), seven USB ports, one DisplayPort, a 2.5GbE LAN and one HDMI connector. All in all, the 790S7 should be able to drive no fewer than three 8K monitors.
There’s no mention of a card reader or an operating system, so you’re free to add Linux or Windows 11 (Home or Pro). There’s also a two year warranty which is more than almost all its rivals, and something I appreciate on a product with this price tag.
We have reviewed quite a few Minisforum products in the past and they have left a lasting impression on us. Check out the unique MS-01 for example with four LAN ports (including two 10GbE ones) to get a sense of what I’m talking about.
