Minisforum announced its first Mars series mini PC MC560 last December, and today it is finally going on sale. Unlike previous versions, the MC560 upgrades the CPU from Ryzen 5 5600U to Ryzen 5 5625U. It has 6 cores and 12 threads and is based on the Zen 3 architecture. The based clock is 2.30 GHz and can be boosted up to 4.30 GHz. The chip is manufactured on the 7 nm TSMC process. The MC560 is different from other mini PCs. It is an all-in-one conference mini PC that combines feature of computer, camera, mic and speakerphone all together to reduce wasted space and cross cabling by taking off unnecessary devices.

It has a 2.5K webcam with HDR support and a 93.8-degree field of view. The adjustable base offers 10°tilt change to the view. With the help of 4 Ω/3 W dual independent speaker design, the maximum sound distortion does not exceed 5%, reflecting authentic human voice. The microphone uses the MEMS dual array with an independent DSP chip for assistance. Combined with the AI intelligence algorithm, it can not only suppress the reverberation, intelligently recognize human voice, but also eliminate environmental noise, thereby accurately restoring human voice.



The MC560 is only 4.2 x 2.7x 6.0 inches big. It supports up to 64 GB of DDR4-3200 memory and a M.2 slot for PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSDs storage. Wi-Fi 6 connectivity is provided through a pre-installed M.2 card.

Interfaces:
  • 1x HDMI 2.0 (4K @ 60 Hz)
  • 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C (Alt DP, Data Transfer, PD)
  • 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
  • 1x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet
  • 1x 3.5 mm combo jack
  • 1x DC 19 V power input
  • 1x Clear CMOS

Interesting product. But it looks like it makes for a wobbly coffee-cup holder.

Great price.

HDMI 2.0, driving 2 displays with decent refresh rates. Great.

Office? It's as "walkable" as a laptop. It needs a Kensington Lock or similar security device to stop it from being nicked by the office "cleaners".

Thanks for the news post. I didnt know about minisforum, and there seem to be quite a lot of small format models, incl. with 2 LAN ports. I'm considering upgrading my aging D525 firewall, and the https://en.store.minisforum.de/collections/alle-produkte/products/elitemini-gk41 looks like a good candidate for a firewall or cheap low-utilisation webserver.
