It's almost cherry-blossom season in Japan, and MINISFORUM released a special edition mini PC to mark it. The UM773 SE has a pastel pink body color along with a cherry-blossom print. Under the hood, it rocks an AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS processor (6 nm, Zen 3+, "Rembrandt Refresh" silicon), with an 8-core/16-thread CPU, and a 12-CU RDNA2 iGPU (Radeon 680M). You get two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots to drop in your own memory, and an M.2-2280 NVMe SSD slot with PCI-Express 4.0 x4 wiring, to use your own SSD, and a 2.5-inch drive bay with SATA 6 Gbps.

Networking connectivity on the MINISFORUM UM773 SE include 2.5 GbE, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2. USB connectivity includes USB4, for a type-C port that supports DisplayPort passthrough from the iGPU. There are a couple of 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-C ports, a couple of such type-A ports, and a couple of USB 2.0 type-A. A couple of HDMI ports, and HD audio make for the rest of it. The box measures 127 mm x 128 mm x 47 mm (WxDxH). The UM773 SE is sold either as a barebones that lacks memory and SSDs; or as prebuilts with 1x 16 GB, 2x 8 GB, and 2x 16 GB memory; each with a 512 GB NVMe SSD.

Update Mar 10th: MINISFORUM confirmed the US price of the UM773 SE to be $429 for the barebones, $579 for the prebuilt with 16 GB memory and 512 GB SSD, $639 for the one with 32 GB memory and 512 GB SSD, and $679 for the top model with 32 GB memory and 1 TB SSD storage.

Refreshing colour scheme for new user base.

If you replace "7735HS" with "6800H" the price is fair, but it's nothing ground-breaking.
The aesthetics are a nice touch though.

Just checked pricing, all-in including shipping and taxes is 480 eur for the barebones.
That's actually really good considering it's competing with the 1240P. I expected it to be closer to 550 eur.
The multi-core especially is much faster and the igpu is very serviceable compared to the 1240P.

I'm absolutely dying to see a mini PC with the new pheonix range APUs and that 780M RDNA3 iGPU, I know it'll probably be a little while, but that's what I'm most excited for...

P.S. If anyone else is interested in mini PCs and other non-standard PCs, a great youtube channel is ETA Prime *I'm not connected to the channel in any way

ETA Prime is good. The only thing they do not do is telling the public the bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 ports.

The non-Japan versions won't have a slot for this kind of storage media, am I right?
