About this deal

Thanks to the HDMI port and Thunderbolt 4 , you can connect two displays at the same time . Note that the Thunderbolt 4 port can also be used in a gaming key , perhaps to connect a box (in the style of Asus ROG XG Station 2) with eGPU (external graphics card). A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. The Minisforum NUCXi7 is a quiet gaming PC in an ultra slim case that is designed for 1,440p gaming. Without a large, bulky tower taking up space on your desk. You will naturally have more room for other peripherals, or will just have a cleaner desk overall. It also means you are not as constrained by space limitations (i.e., if you have what is essentially a small closet’s worth of space, it’s not a problem with a gaming mini pc). Naturally the i7 model has the higher performance with up to 10% difference on system benchmarks. Where we start to see the increases is on 3DMark with between 15 to 20% difference in performance.

Very often, a gamer will rather orient his choice on a fixed PC or a laptop PC. The difficult choice will therefore generally be between power and the possibility of easily adding components to a stationary PC or the possibility of using a mobile portable PC anywhere and anytime to play video games on a PC. Once I switched out the RAM and storage, performance as both a productivity and gaming machine was excellent. The Beelink SEI12 PRO has two models with different processors. Both gaming mini PC’s measure 4.9 x 4.4 x 1.6 in (12.6 x 11.3 x 4.2 cm) and weigh 649g. Beelink SEi12 Pro i5 and i7 Gaming Mini PC The NUCXi7 gives you plenty of options for wireless connectivity. With a built-in Intel WiFi 6E-AX210 module, you can enjoy decent performance for gaming and streaming. For the Ryujinx emulator, we do see mixed performance with games. With the Vulkan graphics we get full speed on a fair number of third party games as well as some earlier first party games. Others you may see speeds of around 50%.

Performance - A fast Core i7-11800H

The third advantage of a gaming mini PC that you’d do well to consider is its ease-of-use. With few individual components to concern yourself with, the overhead knowledge-wise of a gaming mini PC is quite small. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, it is not too complex to upgrade/change the RAM and storage to your desired capacities. Why should I buy a gaming mini PC? The NUCXi7 uses a high-quality Intel Wi-Fi 6E-AX210 card, but I noticed the range isn’t as great as some other laptops. Considering this, use the wired 2.5Gbit/s port for the best internet connection where possible. Pricing and configuration Primarily, this would be the CPU. Which is soldered directly onto the motherboard as a way of further saving space (as the mechanisms required for an exchangeable CPU increase the minimum possible size by a fair margin. With the 11th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, you get plenty of power for handling demanding applications. Coupled with an Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, you have a well-equipped gaming system capable of handling the most popular titles at 1440p resolution. Conversely, the Intel Core i5 model is sufficient for 1080p gaming if you have a smaller budget. Don’t buy it if… And, even better, it’s almost inaudible even under load. Even with the optional gaming mode enabled (via a button on the front of the PC), I never heard the fans ramp up. I found myself amazed given gaming laptops’ reputation for becoming mini furnaces. I guess the NUCXi7 has an advantage without the keyboard, touchpad, battery, and display. The massive cooling system that takes up a large portion of the internal area certainly helps, too.

The NUCXi7 comes with all the important connections you would expect on a gaming laptop. Although it doesn’t offer the endless expanse of ports you might find on a full-size desktop, you still get enough connectivity to hook up peripherals, gaming monitors, and headsets. If you’re hoping to plug in a headset for VR gaming, you have open USB and Thunderbolt ports ready to go. Even in comparison to the microATX standard, mini PCs are by far and away a much more practical option for those looking to optimize what little space they have available in their setup. The components of a Gaming Mini PC The NUCXi5 will feature the 11th generation Intel i5-11400H processor with NVIDIA Geforce 3060 graphics. The NUCXi7 will have the 11th generation Intel i7-11800H with NVIDIA Geforce 3070 graphics.

In a change from the usual plastic or metal casing, the gaming mini PC features a plastic sides and bottom with a fabric cover for the top. It will help keep dust and fingerprints off the top when compared to other materials.In our tests we got a highest temperature of 41 °C, highest fan noise of 55dB and peak power usage of 64.5W while running the Cinebench benchmark on a loop.

The Minisforum NUCXI7 has the 11 th generation Intel i7-11800H processor. The Intel NUC mini PC has eight cores and sixteen threads running up to 4.60GHz with a max TDP of 45W.

On some mini PC’s, the RAM and even the storage can be embedded directly onto the motherboard. This is typically only seen in more budget models however, wherein embedded memory and storage is more cost-efficient to implement. Much like a typical desktop, the NUCXi7 allows you to upgrade and service your own components. Suppose you don’t like the allowance of RAM and storage offered in the default configurations. In that case, you can easily pop the side panel off of the computer and access your internal components. Thanks to the clever design, the inside of the system can be accessed by removing three screws along the bottom of the device. The GMKTec NUCBOX7 is overall the lowest performing gaming mini PC in our tests, it may not be worth considering for some as it is unable to run games such as Forza Horizon 5, Call of Duty etc. It is capable of running lower demanding games as well as older ones.
