MINISFORUM Venus Series UM773 Lite Mini PC AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS up to 4.75GHz 32GB DDR5 1TB PCIe4.0 SSD AMD Radeon 680M Mini Computer, 2 x HDMI,1x USB4,5X USB Ports,WiFi 6,BT5. 2

My use case for this miniPC is as a living room entertainment system: - HDMI to my 1080p TV/monitor - Ethernet based broadband - Audio output to an old high fidelity HiFi system The system uses around only 3W when idle, and averages 0.2kWh (at $0.5/kWh) or 10 cents of electricity a day. This system is totally adequate as a PC-based entertainment system for the living room (I am not a gamer). Its low noise and compact footprint makes it a HUGE improvement over the desktop PC it replaces.

It was everything I hoped pre-installed with Win11 Pro and has TPM 2.0 module. It has bluetooth & wifi builtin; the graphics are very good and the power of this AMD processor is kind of ridiculous in this form factor, in a good way. All the ports and manufacturing are quality. The only tiny niggle is no speaker out in the rear but not a biggie. I connected a Blue tooth speaker and camera with microphone in a couple minutes. The SSD is Kingston so not sure that is going to be my first choice for storage device but it seems to be extremely fast. The little stand is bonus and I will not be using the VESA mount. USB 4 ini the front and USB2/3 in the rear, plenty of connections so didn't need a hub. 4K gaming, the kids are "stoked".

I wanted to like this little PC. Great specs and great on paper. However, as indicated in several reviews, the Wi-Fi that it ships with drops connections or completely does not work. Based on recommendations in reviews, I replaced the Wi-Fi card, and still the same issues. Beyond that, at least one of the USB-C connections cuts in and out and is basically unusable. When the remaining functional USB ports are all in use simultaneously, they all start intermittently acting up or dropping out. So this is a very powerful little machine with no Wi-Fi and poor USB connectivity. The only recommendation from tech support is to reinstall all drivers. That also does not correct the problems. Purchase at your own risk.

We got these for the kids' first foray into gaming and online culture. Sweet sixteen and all. The setup was simple, and the product performs well under all the current gaming loads they have attempted or had interest in so far. The small compact design makes it easy for LAN parties at the local Library and we even have a few events at the local school as well. My benchmark returned the same stated specifications with about a 2-5% deviation. I would imagine that this is due to different software/loading issues. It can even run Cyberpunk2077 on high settings with ease. It is very inspiring for my kids to see how compact technology is going with the same punch my over built desktop PC has under the lid. I should note that one of my kids primarily used her Oculus Rift 2 when playing her games. The VR experience is smooth and beautiful for what it is worth.

This is a decent little PC for web browsing, media consumption, etc. It is NOT suitable for gaming. The graphics card is woefully inadequate for even an older game like Fallout 4. You're going to have to turn the settings down to potato quality or the game will be a slide show. Your first time attempting a game on this computer will have you back looking at eGPUs, and by the time you bought this plus an eGPU you could have just bought a more capable computer for the ~$1000 you'll have into the pair.
