The Minisforum Atomman G1 Pro has sat on my desk now for about two weeks. Happily bimbling away, running benchmarks, stress tests, and going through all manner of arduous rigamarole that we require these mini gaming PCs to endure in our pursuit of testing excellence, (write that down, it'll be in the company call later).
In essence, it's quite unique. Effectively a weird hybrid of sorts. Fluidly blurring the lines between a mid-range gaming laptop and an entry-level ITX rig. The case is outlandishly compact, with only 3.8 L of internal capacity, and yet somehow, Minisforum has slammed a 350 W PSU in there, a motherboard with 32 GB of dual-channel DDR5, an RTX 5060 low-profile GPU, and no less than two M.2 slots as well. It's so slim. So sheepishly svelte, it's hard to believe that this plucky little case actually manages to hold all that in there without buckling at the seams. Looking more akin to a PS5 than a dedicated gaming desktop.
The saving grace is, without a doubt, that CPU that Minisforum has strapped up under the cooler, puttering away underneath that chassis. Namely AMD's Ryzen...
