[btarunr]

MINISFORUM announced their TH60 and TH80 mini PCs today. Both of them equipped with Intel Tiger Lake H45 generation chip to provide ultimate performance and work flexibility. It is a multi-purpose mini computer designed for use in a variety of solutions, such as gaming, home office, media center/HTPC, printer management PC, digital signage, or mass-deployment enterprise IT solution.

The TH60 is equipped with i5-11400H CPU, which is a mid range hexa-core SOC. It has 6 cores/ 12 threads. It can be boost up to 4.50 GHz. The CPU offers 12 MB level 3 cache and supports DDR4-3200 memory. The iGPU that comes with the chip is the improved version of Xe graphics card called UHD graphics. It has 1.45 GHz graphics frequency.



The TH80 is the upgraded version of TH60 with a stronger chip. The CPU is the Intel i7-11800H, which is a high-end octal-core SoC. It has 8 cores/ 16 threads and can be boost up to 4.60 GHz. The CPU offers 24 MB of Level 3 cache and supports DDR4-3200 memory. The iGPU is similar to TH60's, which is the UHD graphics with 1.45 GHz graphics frequency.

Both computers' body are only 18.2 cm long, 17.7 cm wide and 3.6 cm tall. They support totally up to 64Gb of DDR4 dual channel memory. Both have one M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 slot and one PCIe 3.0 slot. They can support up to 3 monitors at the same time using 1 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort and 1 USB-C port. If customers buy it with 256 GB of storage or 512 GB of storage, it will come pre-installed with Windows 11 Pro. 19 V power adapter is included in the package.

Interfaces:

• RJ45 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Port ×1
• USB3.2 Gen1 Type-A Port ×1
• USB3.2 Gen2 Type-A Port ×4
• USB Type-C ×1
• HDMI ×1

wow they missed one major thing.
They are using barrel jack for power input, which is very lame.
It should have been USB-C with PD support. Any PD charger could be used, which are already mainstream with all the phones out there.
very old tech, very old, very sad. Also sad it's an intel cpu, expensive and inefficient cpus.

Barrel jacks are not that bad. It seems they use "Asus-compatible" specification (I have speaker amplifier with 19V too). But true, USB-PD is more practical nowadays, although majority of PD chargers couldn't run this computer - from the looks it needs at least 45W.

Although the rest of the machines look fairly good, barreljackers have been antiquated for quite some time IMHO....

And, as I have stated previously about various devices:

NO C - NO buy - NO EXCUSES

'nuff said !

So...

I missed this part.

It says it has UHD graphics but its an "improved version" of Xe, so its more powerfull the Xe96 running with 3200mhz DDR4 ?

maybe its worth ordering it barebone and putting better memory inside.

65w should be the min.

usb C Power delivery right now supports up to 20V 5A and you can get a amazon essentials 65watt PD 3.0 20v 3.25A charger for a whopping 19$

for U and H series processor powered devices, unless you´re leaving it open to overclocking, not using PD is just being an a**.

Barrel Jack power connector has been the standard power connector for years. wth is wrong with people these days.

 

[Aevum]

yes, its been the power standard for all, mine is 5v, this guy is 12v, that guy is 15v...

Do you have negative on the inside or outside, and what size ?, the best was when dell and HP used the same plug but with different voltages, great for when you have fleets.
