Minisforum AI X1 Pro
The Minisforum AI X1 Pro is a really impressive compact machine: it’s quiet, efficient, and the Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 absolutely rips in CPU benchmarks for a mini PC. I mainly tested it for the NPU, and while the NPU can be cool (especially for efficient image recognition), software support is the big limiting factor right now—especially for Linux/home server use.

- +Socketed DDR5 SODIMMs (up to 96GB)
Cons

- -Built-in power supply avoids a brick, but could be a proprietary failure point later
