What is the M1-1295/1390 best used for?

Office work, web browsing, coding, media playback and light photo or video editing. The integrated graphics make it a poor fit for modern gaming or GPU rendering.

Can I upgrade the memory and storage?

Yes. It has two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots, so you can add or replace memory. Storage is handled by an internal drive, which can be swapped for a larger one.

Does it support Wi-Fi 7?

Yes, Wi-Fi 7 is built in. You need a Wi-Fi 7 router to get its full speed and low-latency benefits.

How does it compare with a full desktop tower?

It uses far less space and power, but it cannot match a tower with a dedicated graphics card for gaming or heavy 3D work. For CPU-bound everyday tasks the gap is small.

Is it quiet enough for a living room or office?

At idle and light loads it is close to silent. Under sustained heavy loads the fan spins up and becomes audible, which is typical for a chassis this small.

What comes in the box?

The mini PC itself, a power adapter and the usual documentation. A monitor, keyboard and mouse are not included.

Our take on the MINISFORUM M1-1295/1390

The MINISFORUM M1-1295/1390 is a very small desktop PC built around an Intel Core Ultra 7 356H processor, with two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and Wi-Fi 7. Its footprint stays under 200mm, so it fits on a small desk or behind a monitor. It suits people who want desktop-class CPU power for office work, coding, media and light content creation without a tower. Against mainstream mini PCs it leans on the newer Core Ultra chip and fast wireless rather than on dedicated graphics, so gamers and heavy GPU users should look elsewhere.
