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.
•Priced at $1,440 with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage, it ships in mid January; a barebones model without RAM or storage is $1,040 but not yet available.

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.

Nvidia RTX 5060 in a mini-PC so cute it might ask for a bedtime story but burn your laps in ‘Beast Mode.’
