The Minisforum AtomMan G1 Pro is a 3.8-liter mini-PC with a discrete desktop Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU for under $1500.
What if Valve’s Steam Machine were a 3.8-liter tower instead of a 3.8-liter cube, with a desktop-grade Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU instead of an AMD RX 7600 — plus a more powerful CPU and many faster ports? Well, it’d cost you nearly $1,500 and be called the Minisforum AtomMan G1 Pro.
Minisforum is one of the only companies shipping such powerful discrete GPUs in mini-PCs, and its earlier AtomMan G7 PT is the closest thing anyone’s sold to Valve’s own spec. But the new G1 Pro might be a better competitor now it’s got an integrated power supply and even beefier components. The most surprising feature is a full but lilliputian desktop graphics card — look how cute it is in the render below! — that fits into the top of the chassis. And, in “Beast Mode,” Minisforum says it can drive the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX CPU at 100W while that GPU stays at 145W. You also get not one but two M.2 2280 slots for NVMe SSD storage, two SO-DIMM slots for up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM, and five display outputs for up to four displays at once. It’s on sale now with 32GB and 1TB for $1,440, shipping mid January — which is honestly starting to look like a decent deal now that RAM prices are out of control. There’s also a bring-your-own-RAM-and-storage barebones version for $1,040, though it’s not available to order yet. Valve still isn’t talking price yet, but I’d hope it’s more affordable than this one. Even so, Valve says it put a lot of work into cooling, noise, and wireless connectivity, and Linux drivers are still more mature on the AMD GPU side of things if you’re considering a Bazzite or SteamOS install. GamersNexus’ new video does include Linux benchmarks for desktop RTX 5060, maybe check those out?
