Minisforum has once again pushed the boundaries of what's possible with their latest offering, the UM890 WE. This mini PC packs a punch with its robust AMD APU and integrated water cooling system, promising unparalleled performance and reliability in a remarkably small form factor.

While precise specifications are yet to be unveiled, the UM890 WE is anticipated to maintain Minisforum's signature compact design, with the width likely to remain under 20 cm. However, what sets this mini PC apart is its unique utilization of space. Instead of accommodating a discrete graphics card, Minisforum has opted for an integrated water cooling system designed to efficiently cool the powerhouse within—the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS.

The AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS is not your average processor. Built on Zen 4 architecture, this high-end notebook APU boasts 8 cores capable of handling 16 threads, with individual cores capable of reaching clock speeds of up to 5.2 GHz. With such formidable specs, the UM890 WE is poised to tackle even the most demanding workloads without breaking a sweat.

Despite its compact size, the UM890 WE doesn't compromise on connectivity options. Featuring two USB-A ports and a USB-C port on the front panel, along with USB 4 ports that double as monitor connections, this mini PC ensures seamless integration into any setup. Moreover, for users seeking additional graphical prowess, the UM890 WE supports external GPUs via a fast OCuLink port, offering unparalleled versatility for graphics-intensive tasks.

Networking capabilities are equally impressive, with dual RJ45 ports boasting a maximum data transfer rate of 2.5 GBit/s each. Whether it's for gaming, content creation, or professional applications, the UM890 WE delivers on all fronts, ensuring a lag-free and immersive experience.

While pricing and availability details are currently under wraps, it's safe to assume that the UM890 WE won't come cheap. However, for those in need of uncompromising performance in a compact package, the investment is likely to be well worth it.
