Mini PC Packs Desktop Power, Demands Mortgage Refinancing to Afford It
KEY POINTS
- •Minisforum released the AtomMan G1 Pro in late 2025, positioning it as a high-powered alternative to Valve's Steam Machine.
- •It features an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX CPU running at 100W and a discrete Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU delivering 145W of power.
- •The mini-PC supports up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM, dual M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots, and five display outputs for up to four monitors.

Minisforum dropped the AtomMan G1 Pro in late 2025 to answer the eternal question: what if Valve’s Steam Machine took steroids and shrunk in the wrong dimension? This $1,440 mini-PC packs an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX running beast mode at 100W, a desktop-grade Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU squeezing a full 145W from its itty-bitty tower, two M.2 2280 slots, 96GB DDR5 RAM capacity, and five flashy display outputs for your quad-monitor gaming à la NASA control room. Valve still won’t spill pricing tea for their version, but Minisforum’s little powerhouse ships mid-January with a price tag that says 'yes, you really want this much power cubed.'

Minisforum basically shoved a cellar fervor Valve’s Steam Machine dream into a $1500 tiny tower and called it Pro. Spoiler: Size does matter, but price sure screams 'hipster tech flex.'
Finally, a mini-PC that costs more than my last car and punches like it’s on Red Bull IV drips.
