Minisforum Neptune HX90G Mini PC Goes on Sale at Introductory Discount Prices
The Minisforum Neptune HX90G all-AMD high-performance mini-PC went on sale at introductory prices. The lunchbox-sized mini-PC packs some serious kit, which includes an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX "Zen 3" 8-core/16-thread processor, Radeon RX 6600M RDNA2 graphics with 8 GB VRAM, memory options that include dual-channel DDR4 16 GB, 32 GB, and 64 GB; and storage options that include a M.2 NVMe Gen 4 SSD with up to 512 GB capacity. You can also buy it as a barebones, and drop in your own SSD and DDR4 SO-DIMM memory.
What's new here are the introductory prices. The barebones (which gives you the processor and GPU, but not memory or SSD), is priced at $799, down from its $940 regular price. The model with 2x 8 GB memory and 512 GB SSD, is priced at $909, compared to its $1,069 regular price. The 2x 16 GB memory + 512 GB SSD model is going for $969, compared to $1,129 regular price. The top model with 2x 32 GB RAM + 512 GB SSD, can be had at $1,079, compared to its $1,269 regular price.

I like the idea of a Mini-ITX system with respectable graphics. The 16 cores 32 threads is a little overkill if this was intended for gaming; I just bought my RX 6800 and Sniper Elite 5 uses 15.7GB of dedicated video memory at 1440p. Besides that all of the other games I've tested use less than 8GB.
As for the intended buyer, I would think it would be suitable for just about anyone who plays average games as well as almost all office/home apps....except maybe for the most demanding stuff like CAD/data mining/pro-level video/image processing...
Ah I got it, the price is so eye watering.
Also, I'm willing to bet there's a power brick (not pictured) almost the size of the lunchbox ;)
They just gotta price these things a bit better. I'm not sure what their overhead cost though is.
