Minisforum, the company most known for its miniature gaming PCs, launched the 'NUCXi5' and 'NUCXi7' prebuilt gaming PCs. These are high-end PCs with a spread-out, flat form factor, rather than the small cubic nature of most mini PCs. This form factor allows for the PCs to be slotted into a vertical stand, resulting in a powerful gaming PC that takes next to no space on top of a desk.
Despite the ultra-thin body of these PCs, they come equipped with powerful components, with the NUCXi7 featuring an i7-11800H combined with an NVIDIA RTX 3070, and the NUCXi5 boasting an i5-11440H and an NVIDIA RTX 3060. Additionally, these devices have extensive interface options, including three USB3.2 ports, an SD card slot, an audio jack, a 2.5 gigabit ethernet port, and a Thunderbolt 4 port for hub expansion or external graphics cards.
The NUCXi7 and NUCXi5 are available now from Minisforum at an MSRP of $1,189 and $979, respectively.
