Minisforum Launches Venus UM773 Lite Mini PC

[AleksandarK]

On January 7th, the Minisforum UM773 was launched in China with the AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor and received widespread praise from consumers. Now, the new version of UM773, UM773 Lite, has arrived globally with a more affordable price. Considering that users usually connect external keyboards and mouses, the two USB 3.2 ports have been replaced with USB 2.0 ports. All other design will be the same as UM773. The price, however, will be more favorable.

The new UM773 Lite features the new AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS, AMD Radeon 680M Integrated Graphics, DDR5 dual-channel memory, PCIe 4.0 SSD, and the most advanced USB4 Type-C port. The Ryzen 7 7735HS is one of AMD's new Ryzen 7000 series mobile processors, featuring 8 cores and 16 threads, with a based clock of 3.2 GHz and a maximum turbo clock of 4.75 GHz and a default TDP targeted at 54 W. The RDNA2 Radeon 680M integrated GPU has 12 CUs up to 2.4 GHz.




Thanks to liquid metal and a smart fan in thermal design, the UM773 Lite can not only keep the core cool but also allows for stronger performance, making sure users can enjoy their games without any interruptions.

UM773 Lite supports a total of up to 64 GB dual-channel DDR5-4800 MHz memory and also different types of storage expansions—1×M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 SSD and 1×2.5 inch SATA HDD Slot (SATA 3.0 6.0 Gb/s 7 mm).

The USB4 port on UM773 Lite supports a maximum transfer speed of 40 Gbps. With one USB4 port and two HDMI ports, the UM773 Lite can connect to three monitors simultaneously with a maximum resolution of two 4K@60Hz and one 8K@60Hz (via USB4).

$409 for barebones is actually pretty good.

Yep, that's just a little moar than I paid for my DDR4/Gen 3/i5- 4/8cores mini-me box in late '21.....

Seeins how I just snagged a sweeet deal on several brand spankin new SN850x's & already have a new-ish 2.5" SSD, it looks like I might be makin the jump to DDR5/Gen 4 -8/16cores a bit sooner than planned.... AFTER the reviews come in, of course

@AleksandarK - any idea when we can expect a full review/tests etc ?
