MinisForum EliteMini HX90 – AMD Ryzen 9 Mini PC

Really pleased with this little beauty. Fast, near silent and does everything I need from it.

Nice little package, delivered quickly and works a treat.

Was a little apprehensive, miniaturised technology, but what a superb piece of kit ... very quick, very quiet and so unobtrusive on the desk. Good choice!

I wanted to replace a laptop. As I have keyboards and screens I thought a Mini PC was right for me. If I do travel their is generally a screen somewhere I can use and you can just plug in and use. Read the reviews and based upon my needs for lots of processing power for music production the HX90 seemed the best pick. It offers 2 HDMI slots which makes it easier for multi screen work. Would have liked a Thunderbolt connection but it is just a USB C. Plenty of USB 3 slots and audio & headphone slots on the front and back making it easier to make the connections. I am thinking of hanging it off the back of my screens to give more desk top space Really impressed with the info DroiX make available, good review videos and links to more. They had the best price at the time, and offered a memory package better than others (64Gb
& 2TB not available elsewhere) . The items they put inside are not top brands but they do the trick for my needs. Check out some of the music produced on this, look for Dá Påph on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/1SEeB63D9JA89vH4edmhUS?si=0e4042106a914ada. I have managed to play some older but big capacity games like Sniper 3 and Total War at medium & high settings, with no problems so far. Streaming music, and Netflix all great. Wi-Fi works really well. Its well built and not really worried about the whole carbon fibre debate on the casing, its plastic in my eyes but is sturdy enough, I wont be dropping it down a mine shaft to test it, its going to sit on my desk. Some comments in reviews about the cooling system being just a gimmick. I ran my music programmes and it remained cool, no throttling on processing, so it works for my needs. It arrived very promptly and from my experience I would recommend DroiX to others.

Purchased this to serve as a Hypervisor HomeLab to replace a Celeron J4105 system. Not only did it arrive the next day, It came packed with known label componets for both storage and ram.

This is now up and running my entire homelab, its slient and runs cool at wait for it 15w TDP (yes i capped it to the same as a Celeron J4105 box) but it performs really fast i mean it compiles OpenWRT within 30 minutes which is better then 72 hours on my old box.

So this was a totally worth it purchase!

Very happy with the EliteMini HX90. Very easy to set-up, fast and small form factor.
