Minisforum NPB7 Review - 13700H, USB 4.0, Wifi 6E Mini PC

Hi, npb7 hx77g um790 pro hn2673, in your opinion for video editing with da vinci resolve, i which order you'd choose them? Thank you

Did you notice the wattage at idle?

Are you able to add an SSD with heatsink with that cooling fan on top like that?

Too bad this unit is unreliable. It has the perfect set of I/O in this 4x4 form factor.

I like the specs, but random power offs sounds like a lemon. I'll stick with Geekom IT13 for Intel CPUs.

Other non-Intel options are Minisforum UM 790 or Beelink GTR7.

I also have had the shut off failure. An original NUC power supply does not fit… Did anybody test it with suitable power supply of 150W? Does the PL2 setting allow 115W (Intel ARK allows that for i7-13700H) then? Or will board‘s MOSFETs be overloaded?

sadly there are lots of issues with the NPB7. Alot of people have random reboots and freezes. there is a whole thread about it on the minisforum discord. They even downgraded the specs from beeing able to run 64GB memory to 32 gb. The issue is probably a thermal issue combined with a powersuply that is insufficient. But I'll never know, I've returned mine after all these issues.

Supports Opera browser?

Suppports XBox Game Pass?

How does this compare to a 7840hs in terms of cpu and gpu?

Product warranty?

Is compatible with game systems? XBox Game Pass and Steam?

You are simply repeating a common mistake of everyone who has been wearing the shackles of the Windows system on their feet for a long time. It degrades and goes away.
Just really master the Linux system. And then any new computer equipment will work properly and without problems.

Much as I love Minisforum for their variety of models, I can't help but think that they are making life hard for themselves with the constantly changing lineup. The pressure on the designers and testing team must be huge because it looks like they have to commit to manufacture before they've been able to test them properly. They do seem to fix problems later on in production, but it makes it risky for the buyer, who is already taking a bit of a gamble. A year or two ago they would just have a single box design and develop that as they improved the processors. That didn't give you much reason to upgrade, but it had to make it easier to design. Might skip this model, but maybe the next one?
Thanks for the review!

Draw nearly 50% more power but game performance less than Ryzen 7840hs about 20%.
That's not good! Especially, when AMD catch up and even better at video encoding.

It's DDR4, not DDR5.
The product description page says DDR4. Check please.

Great review on the mini PC. I'm not here to say any bad about this device or anything but the AMD ones always offer better on every aspect. UM790 Pro just got released the 7940HS has higher multicore performance, lower max TDP and the iGPU it comes with is what interested me the most. 780M absolutely obliterates iris XE in games. At around same price point, it makes it no brainer to choose AMD over this mini PC. Intel really needs to step up their games to stay relevant
