Mini PC · MINISFORUM
The MS-S1 MAX is a workstation-style mini PC with the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and 128GB of memory. It adds two 80 Gbps USB4 v2 ports, useful for linking two units.
Model speed matches other Strix Halo machines. Minisforum's store prices change often with sales. A 64GB version exists but limits you to about 30–70B at tight settings, and its memory cannot be upgraded.
