MINISFORUM, an innovator in AI computing technology, today unveiled the G1 Pro, a high-performance compact gaming mini-PC that combines powerful desktop-grade components into a sleek 3.8-liter chassis measuring 315 x 215 x 57 mm and weighing 3.81 kg, making it slimmer than a PS5 Pro while delivering monster-level capabilities for gaming, content creation, and AI workloads. At its core is the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX processor, a 16-core/32-thread Dragon Range Refresh APU built on TSMC’s 5nm process with up to 5.4 GHz boost clock, 80 MB L2+L3 cache, and configurable power modes—100W in Beast mode for maximum performance, 80W in Gaming mode, and 60W in Office mode—ensuring efficient thermal management without throttling during extended sessions. Paired with it is a full desktop-class NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU featuring 3,840 CUDA cores, 8 GB GDDR7 VRAM on a 128-bit bus, and a 145W TDP, which offers about 25% better performance than the RTX 4060 mobile variant, supporting DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation, 4th-gen RT cores, 5th-gen Tensor cores, and up to 614 TOPS of AI power for acceleration in over 130 creative apps like video editing, 3D rendering, and generative AI.

Memory and storage options are equally robust, with dual-channel DDR5-5200 support up to 96 GB for seamless multitasking, and two M.2 2230/2280 NVMe SSD slots (PCIe 4.0 x4) each accommodating up to 4 TB for lightning-fast load times and ample space. Connectivity is future-proofed with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 for wireless, a 5 Gigabit Ethernet LAN port for wired networking, and an internal PCIe 4.0 x16 slot for potential upgrades, though limited by the built-in 350W power supply. The front panel boasts a power button, USB 3.2 ports, Type-C, audio jack, dual DisplayPort 2.1, HDMI 2.1, and another Type-C, while the rear includes HDMI 2.1, RJ45 5G LAN, DP 1.4a, AC input, and a power switch, enabling quad-display support for immersive setups.
Cooling is handled by a third-generation Glacier system capable of dissipating up to 300W total (245W for CPU+GPU combined), featuring advanced fans and intelligent workload management to maintain high clock speeds in AAA titles and competitive games without noise overload. The design emphasizes aesthetics with available black or white finishes, a wave-textured panel, and customizable RGB lighting, positioning it as a stylish centerpiece for living rooms or studios. A dedicated Control Center app allows one-click mode switching between Beast, Gaming, and Office profiles, RGB customization, real-time monitoring, and fan control for optimized performance.
Pricing starts at $1,039.90 for the barebones configuration (CPU and GPU only), with the fully loaded version 32 GB DDR5 RAM and 1 TB SSD available for a launch price of $1,439.90. Pre-orders are open now on the official MINISFORUM store, with estimated shipping in early January 2026, backed by a 2+1 year warranty (2-year factory plus optional 3-year accidental coverage) and lifetime technical support.
