Mini gaming PCs have, over the last few years, typically become smaller, lighter, and more portable. The Minisforum AI X1 Pro somewhat goes against that grain. It's bigger and heavier than some of its competitors, with a design that seems heavily inspired by Apple's own mini contender.
Minisforum has carved out a good chunk of the best mini gaming PC market for budget gamers in recent years, but the AI X1 Pro is a rig aimed firmly at the top end of the market. The 12-core AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 gaming CPU it ships with is a powerhouse for general use, while its AMD Radeon 890M integrated gaming GPU - a high-end mobile GPU option found in recent handhelds like the AOKZOE A1 - delivers decent 1080p gaming performance.
With a hefty amount of RAM thrown in, this machine leaves plenty of room for growth, but the price means it won't appeal to all. This is a high-end mini PC that could replace your desktop machine, but it isn't specifically built with gaming in mind.
That said, I tested the Minisforum AI X1 Pro out for a few days to see how well it performed as a full desktop gaming PC replacement.
