Minisforum has launched the AtomMan G1 Pro, a mini PC that defies expectations by packing desktop-grade hardware into a 3.8-liter chassis. Designed for gamers and creators who demand performance without sacrificing portability, the device features a Ryzen 9 8945HX CPU paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GPU—both capable of pushing limits thanks to a 350W power supply and a thermal system built to handle 300W of sustained load.
The AtomMan G1 Pro isn’t just a miniaturized workstation; it’s a flexible powerhouse. Users can toggle between three power modes—Beast Mode (245W), Gaming Mode (225W), and Office Mode (205W)—to balance performance and efficiency depending on the task. This adaptability is rare in compact systems, where thermal and power constraints often force compromises.
At its core, the AtomMan G1 Pro leverages a Zen 4-based Ryzen 9 8945HX processor, a 16-core/32-thread chip optimized for heavy workloads. Paired with the RTX 5060, which can draw up to 145W under load, the combination delivers desktop-level performance in a package small enough to fit on a desk—or even carry in a bag. The inclusion of an RTX GPU in a mini PC isn’t new, but Minisforum’s approach to power delivery and cooling sets it apart.
The cooling system, dubbed the 3rd-gen Glacier Cooling, features five copper heat pipes, dual 3600 RPM silent fans, and a two-sided exhaust design to maintain stability under prolonged stress. This is critical for a system that can reach thermal thresholds most mini PCs avoid.

The AtomMan G1 Pro’s specs are impressive on paper, but the real test will be how well they translate to real-world performance. The 32 GB of DDR5 RAM and 1 TB SSD provide a solid foundation for multitasking and storage, while the expandability options cater to users who may need more in the future. The inclusion of a 5G LAN port is a practical touch for those who rely on high-speed wired connections.
For gamers, the RTX 5060 offers ray tracing and DLSS support, though its performance will depend on game resolution and settings. Creators will appreciate the CPU’s raw power for rendering and editing, while the GPU’s VRAM (8 GB) ensures smoother workflows with high-resolution assets. The power modes add a layer of customization, allowing users to optimize for efficiency when running office applications or max out performance during intensive gaming or creative sessions.
While the $1,428 price tag is steep—especially for a mini PC—it positions the AtomMan G1 Pro as a premium option for professionals and enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on performance. It’s not the first mini PC to offer RTX graphics, but its combination of power delivery, cooling, and expandability makes it stand out in a crowded market.
Availability is currently limited to JD, with no immediate plans for broader distribution announced. For those who prioritize mobility without sacrificing power, the AtomMan G1 Pro could redefine what’s possible in a compact form factor.
