UM890 Pro (Mini PC)

$949

Minisforum's premium mini PC: AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS with Radeon 780M iGPU, 32GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe. Top of the mini-PC tier on the AMD side — the 8945HS is the highest-clocked 8000-series HS chip and the 780M is the iGPU ceiling for credible 1080p sim work. Quiet, compact, and a real alternative to a tower for SkyTrak, Foresight, and E6-based builds.

Who this is for

Honest match per persona.

Good for

  • Space-Constrained

    Mini PC footprint with a strong iGPU. Tucks behind a monitor or projector; no tower commitment.

  • Family Setup

    Quiet, low-power, capable enough for SkyTrak or Foresight FSX. Shared rooms appreciate the silent operation.

  • Recreational Player

    1080p sim play with room to spare. The mini PC pick when SER8's headroom feels tight and you don't want to build out a tower.

Not for

  • Performance Seeker

    iGPU ceiling. Serious GSPro 4K and multi-camera workflows still need a discrete RTX GPU.

  • Showroom

    Mini PC reads utilitarian — premium rooms typically want a tower as part of the aesthetic.

  • Cost-Effective Buyer

    $949 is real spend for a mini PC. The SER8 at $939 covers SkyTrak-tier needs comparably; the 8945HS clock advantage matters more on demanding GSPro settings.
