    Incredibly important to note that the AMD Ryzen™ 7 255 has no NPUs, making it not really an AI model, despite it being called the "Minisforum N5 AI": https://www.reddit.com/r/MiniPCs/comments/1l69o4d/comment/mw…

      Also non pro can't do 96 Gb of memory according to site.

        It can. Just not ECC memory.

      Good luck fighting to get ROCM working with torch or anything on Radeon. And then you upgrade drivers and have to do it again.

      Maybe if it was Ryzen AI Max 395+

        I am running ROCM on a number of things now and not as much of an issue as it once was, it's not as efficient as cuda for sure however.

    Table says N5 Pro starts at $899 USD RRP but link seems to show $1299? What am I missing?

      You're right, the RRP column was showing current (discounted) price, not RRP. Fixed.

    Probably worth waiting for the Aoostar WTR Max to hit Aliexpress, with coupons and cashback it will be likely be less than the US$699 RRP

    Fyi Minisforum sucks to deal with directly if you have any issues. Took 5 months for a refund and I still didn't get refunded everything I paid.
    Buy through Amazon if possible to make sure it works within 30 days and return easily if required.

      Spot on. I probably wouldn't buy another product from minisforum, but if I had to it'd be via Amazon.

      I had to return mine through Amazon. Their support will ask you to perform the standard "reset your PC", "update yor drivers", "it's the other addon components such as RAM or SSD's fault" tricks, then when I proved it's their motherboard's fault, they sudently stopped all communications with me. Wasted 3 weeks of my time
