Do I need to buy RAM and storage separately?

Yes. It is a barebone, so you must add DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and an M.2 SSD before first use.

How much RAM can it take?

Two DDR5-5600 slots support up to 128 GB total.

It relies on Radeon 890M integrated graphics, which handles light and older titles at modest settings but not demanding games.

A Windows 11 Pro license is included, but you install the OS yourself on your own drive.

How does it compare with a prebuilt mini PC?

It offers more CPU headroom and upgrade flexibility than most prebuilts, but you supply the memory and storage and accept integrated graphics.

Our take on the MINISFORUM AI X1-370 Mini PC Barebone AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370

The MINISFORUM AI X1-370 is a small-form-factor desktop built around AMD's Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, a 12-core chip with a 5.1 GHz boost and Radeon 890M integrated graphics. It ships as a barebone: no RAM, no storage, no OS install beyond the Windows 11 Pro license, so you add your own DDR5 SO-DIMMs (two slots, up to 128 GB) and an M.2 drive. Connectivity is a strength for its size, with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Ethernet and HDMI. It suits tinkerers and small-desk users who want strong CPU and AI-accelerator performance without a graphics card, but anyone wanting a plug-and-play machine or serious gaming should look at a prebuilt mini PC or a discrete-GPU desktop instead.

SetupMixedBuyers like choosing their own RAM and SSD but note the barebone route takes extra time and planning.
GraphicsMixedThe Radeon 890M is fine for daily use and light games but falls short for demanding titles.
