MINISFORUM has released a new set of mini-PCs based around 7-litre cases. Billed as the 129i7 and 790S7, the pair combine powerful modern processors with full-size PCIe slots for desktop graphics card expansion.

Better iGPU on the Alder Lake model, and possibility of saving money with DDR4.

Weird choice on making the only USB-C port USB2 speed.

Intel is cheaper and is a better option if you don't want a dGPU (though it's a weird choice to get a bigger mini-PC and not take advantage of the extra space).

AMD is a better fit for dGPU because the CPU is much faster than Intel, and it's much better suited for a powerful GPU.

I wonder if this could be a good alternative alternative to the G7 Pt (adding a better GPU).

No mentioning in this article or Minisforum's website what the Ethernet speed is. Disappointing.

It's two 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports.

Can the power supply be upgraded to allow a GPU with higher power requirements? I am thing to use a 4060ti (which I already have) but that needs a minimum of 500watt. I have not found any information on what type or size PS will fit in that case.

All the details are shown in the live youtube video review. Won't let me post the link here, but you can search youtube for the 790S7 review.

The video is huge (and 99% of it is useless or irrelevant information). Can you point us to where it's relevant?
