Notable Chinese mini-PC manufacturer Minisforum has launched the UM480XT mini-PC. The new model is a trimmed-down version of the UM590 that was launched last year. The move may be in a bid to reduce prices and rack up sales of the model.

The Minisforum UM480XT mini PC is powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 4800H CPU. The CPU is a Renoir APU that was announced in 2020. It is originally designed for larger, more powerful laptops with room for better termals. Thus, the processor is almost outdated but considering the application, it brings the power found on high-end laptops to the affordable PC.

The device comes in a barebone model which allows users to customise it as they desire. There are also three memory versions in addition to the barebone model. The three versions house 16GB, 32GB, and 64 GB of RAM respectively. The mini-PC’s storage options are limited to two – 512GB and 1 TB SSD.

The UM480XT features a compact build with a dimension of 12.76 cm x 4.82 cm. Despite the compact size, the mini-PC comes with a host of connectivity options including a USB-C port for data only, a second USB 3.2 Type-C port with DP 1.4 support, two USB 2.0 Type-A, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a 3.5mm audio jack and two HDMI ports. The device also houses a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port.

Pricing & Availability

The Minisforum UM480XT mini-PC is officially available on the company’s website. As for the price, the barebone unit is listed on the company’s website for $229. Curiously, the same model is listed on Amazon for $189.90 but the product is presently out of stock. The product sure offers users a bang for their buck at this price.
