ummm....say what.... since when is a cpu from 2 gens ago still considered a "flagship" ???? Back at it's launch date, maybe, but if that's their best marketing spinner person at work, so be it....

And yes, I understand that cooling a 14th gen chip in this little box would be a challenge, but if anyone can do it, it would be the folks @minisforum...

But this is a really nice looking mini-me box with a great feature set & a reasonable price too.

Wonder if they will offer a barebones model for ~$399 or so :D

This has been on the market for more than 6 months now, not sure why Techpowerup have put this in the news......
Seems like a paid publicity rather than a press release................

I can only assume it’s because the 14th gen still carry a premium and they can get a serious discount on the 12th allowing them to offer their boxes so cheap.
