AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS Mini PC with Radeon 680M Graphics
A compact mini PC featuring AMD's Ryzen 7 7735HS (8C/16T, up to 4.75GHz) with Radeon 680M graphics, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and dual storage options (PCIe 4.0 SSD + 2.5" SATA). While capable for office tasks and light gaming, its Zen 3+ architecture and pricing face stiff competition from newer models.
The UM773 Lite offers last-gen AMD Zen 3+ power with the Ryzen 7 7735HS and Radeon 680M, but its pricing raises eyebrows. At $529 (32GB+1TB), it competes with newer models like Minisforum's own UM780 XTX (7840HS, $559 32 GB RAM + 1TB SSD) and UM790 Pro (7940HS, $519 32 GB RAM + 1 TB SSD). The Radeon 680M delivers 38fps in GTA V (1080p High), but is 15% slower than the Radeon 780M in newer chips.
For budget buyers, the UM790 Pro (7940HS, $385 barebone) provides better CPU/GPU performance at similar prices. Even more compelling: the GMKtec K8 Plus (8845HS + OCuLink, $520) offers Zen 4 efficiency and eGPU expandability. The UM773 Lite's 2.5G Ethernet and USB4 are positives, but the Zen 3+ architecture and lack of OCuLink make it hard to recommend over rivals.
Where the UM773 Lite makes sense: as a barebone ($349) for upgraders needing SATA storage (rare in newer models). However, the UM690S (6900HX, $329) or Beelink SER6 Pro (7735HS, $319) often undercut it. Unless you find it discounted below $450, newer alternatives deliver better value.
