8 Comments on Minisforum to Unveil AI X1 Mini PC and N5 Pro NAS at CES 2025
P.S. that's a pretty serious NAS to have a 370 in it....and I wonder if that 10G port is 10GBase-T or SFP....
This doesn't look like a decent cooling for >100Watt.
Life is too short for me, to spend $1,399 for a noisy / fan-annoying machine.

But AI 9 HX 370 has no ECC support, according to www.amd.com/en/products/processors/laptop/ryzen/ai-300-series/amd-ryzen-ai-9-hx-370.html

and according to this article

CPU indeed is the Pro version of AI Max SKU not the non Pro version as shown in Short circuit video.
