Video Description
We found something when we were testing the Minisforum UM790 Pro alongside the Beelink GTR7 and GTR7 Pro that we were not expecting. This new mini PC uses the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS along with a host of generational improvements over the UM690 to make something that we were not expecting.
