Minisforum updated its M1-1295 mini PC with the M1-1390, swapping in a newer processor to boost performance for users who need more computing power in a small footprint. This refresh matters because it offers a tangible speed increase over the previous model without requiring a complete system replacement. Buyers looking for a compact desktop upgrade can now access higher single-core and multi-core speeds at a competitive price point.

Intel Core i9-13900HX processor boosts performance in compact chassis

The M1-1390 runs on an Core i9-13900HX processor, which serves as the core of this compact desktop system. Minisforum positions this unit as a direct successor to the M1-1295, which previously used the i9-12950HX chip. The company claims the new CPU delivers 7 to 13 percent better single-core performance and roughly 20 percent better multi-core performance compared to the older model.

Specifications

  • CPU: Intel Core i9-13900HX
  • RAM: Up to 96GB DDR4
  • Storage: 2x M.2 slots, PCIe 4.0×4 SSD
  • Connectivity: WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 2.5GbE
  • Ports: 2x USB 2.0 Type-A, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 1x DisplayPort 1.4, 1x HDMI 2.1

Memory and storage options allow for significant customization within the small chassis. The system supports up to 96GB of DDR4 RAM through two SO-DIMM slots. Storage flexibility comes from two M.2 slots that each accept a PCIe 4.0×4 SSD. Connectivity includes WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a 2.5GbE Ethernet port for stable network connections.

Port selection and display output cater to users who need to connect multiple peripherals and monitors. The rear panel features two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort Alt Mode and 15W power delivery. Users can also connect displays via a DisplayPort 1.4 and an HDMI 2.1 output, enabling triple-display support.
