I bought this for running Klipper on a 3D printer. It was really easy to install Ubuntu server on and get setup.
I like how many usb ports it has. It’s ideal for plugging in control boards and webcams.
Just a caution that it does NOT come with Windows 11 preloaded and the manuel has no instructions on how to do this. You’ll need to download Windows 11 to a USB stick and then access the bios and get the system to boot from it first. You’ll then need to delete the existing system partitions and create a new one to install Windows. Not difficult to do, just annoying the instructions aren’t clearer on this. However, the mini PC itself works really well. Highly recommended.
Obviously the smalll dimensions of the PC makes the desktop tidy but nothing taken away from the speed of this kit or the easy set up on start up
Would wholeheartedly recommend this as a replacement for large bulky framed laptops (in comparison) and standard sized units.
It’s been only a few days since we got this PC but I’m positively impressed, runs on Windows 11 which I was initially very sceptical to use but I’m totally fine with it now. It’s fast and pretty silent so its perfect for work, play, or both. Its powered by a 12th-generation Intel Core i7 processor, which is very powerful CPUs. The integrated Iris Xe graphics are also good enough for basic gaming and other graphical tasks. It comes with a vesa bracket so it can be mounted at the back of the monitor or a tv, this is what I’m planning to do to save space on my son’s desk. Overall, the Minisforum UN1265 is a great mini PC. It’s powerful, it’s affordable, and it’s very compact. If you’re looking for a mini PC for work or play, the UN1265 is a great option with its 32GB Ram + half terabyte of storage. Who should buy it? – anyone who wants a powerful yet compact and affordable device for work or play.
I have been considering a mini pc for a while and finally took the plunge with the Minisforum UN1265. It looks great – you can read all the specs elswhere. I have had it up and running for about a week – initially I was concerned as upon set up the pc froze several times during initial updates needing to be restarted at the power button. One of the important reasons I bought this pc is the continual highlighting of how quiet the fan/ cooling system is. I can confirm that this is not the case – the fan can be very noisy and can vary in speed which makes it even more irritating. Strangely it seems worse at start up!!? Having ran it for a few days now the fan does seem to have settled down a bit but continues to rev up and down at start up and occasionally during tasks (that aspect I understand.) Handy and compact with performance levels good for the money but avoid if silent running is what you’re after.
The whole PC itself is extremely small and it’s probably around the same size as too small mobile phones next to each other it comes with the variety of ports on it including four USB ports as well as HDMI, DPI, and Ethernet ports of course so if you include the ports as well as a few ventilation points around the outside of the PC then that gives you the complete size of the PC itself no more no less.
Performance ways it’s surprisingly efficient in what it does, I don’t actually use it for an enormous amount of hard work but what it does is process everything that I throw at it really quickly.
Replaced an old laptop with this PC. Used mainly for Web browsing and home office so happy with the lowest spec. But processor speed, ssd capacity and Windows 11 are great for what I need. And in such a small unit that takes up no desk room. (Will fix to the back of a monitor if needed).
