Minisforum has introduced a new compact gaming and creator-focused machine that borrows the sleek, tower-like look of the PlayStation 5, but shrinks it down into a far smaller footprint while aiming for serious desktop-class performance. Called the AtomMan G1 Pro, this mini PC packs high-end components into a 3.8-liter chassis, positioning it as an easy-to-place (and easier-to-carry) alternative to a full-size desktop without giving up the power needed for demanding games and heavy creative workloads.
One of the biggest highlights is how much power the tiny system is built to deliver. The AtomMan G1 Pro features a 350W power supply, giving it enough headroom to sustain stronger CPU and GPU performance under load. Minisforum is clearly targeting users who want a small PC that can still handle modern gaming settings, GPU-accelerated creation tasks, and multitasking without feeling like a compromise.
Inside, the system is driven by AMD’s Zen 4-based Ryzen 9 8945HX, a 16-core, 32-thread processor designed for high-performance workloads like video editing, 3D rendering, and streaming alongside gameplay. On the graphics side, it’s paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 desktop GPU. Minisforum says the GPU can draw up to 145W, which is important because higher GPU power limits typically translate into better sustained performance in games and creator apps.
The AtomMan G1 Pro also includes selectable performance profiles, letting users choose how aggressively the system pushes power depending on the task. Its top “Beast Mode” enables up to 245W combined power for the CPU and GPU for maximum performance. There are also two other modes designed for different needs: a Gaming mode capped at 225W and an Office mode capped at 205W. This kind of tuning is useful if you want quieter operation during lighter work, but still want the option to ramp up when it’s time to play or render.
Cooling is another major focus, since high-wattage parts in a mini PC need serious thermal management to avoid throttling. Minisforum equips the system with its 3rd-generation Glacier Cooling solution, rated to handle up to 300W of thermal load. The setup includes five copper heat pipes, quiet fans rated up to 3600 RPM, and a two-sided exhaust design intended to keep heat moving out of the chassis consistently during long gaming sessions or sustained creative workloads.
For ports and connectivity, the AtomMan G1 Pro provides convenient front access with USB-C and USB-A ports plus an audio jack. Around back, it adds more USB connectivity including Type-A ports and a Type-C port, along with multiple display outputs via HDMI and DisplayPort. Wired networking is handled by a 5G LAN port, which can be a strong fit for faster local transfers, stable online gaming, and high-bitrate streaming.
Memory and storage start with a single configuration that includes 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. Upgradability is a key part of the appeal, though: RAM can be expanded up to 96GB using SO-DIMM modules, and storage can be upgraded up to 8TB through dual NVMe SSD support (up to 2x 4TB drives). That makes the mini PC much more flexible for users who need more capacity for large game libraries, 4K/8K video projects, or professional assets.
Pricing is set at 9,889 Yuan (around US$1,428), and it’s available through JD. For buyers searching for a compact mini PC for gaming and content creation, the AtomMan G1 Pro stands out by combining a high-core-count Ryzen 9 processor, an RTX 5060 desktop GPU, high combined power limits, and robust cooling in a console-inspired, space-saving design.
