Zen 5 16-Core, 64GB LPDDR5X, AMD Strix Halo Mini PC [MINISFORUM N5 MAX AI]

About this deal

This open box Minisforum N5 Max AI is a compact NAS and mini PC hybrid built around the 16-core, 32-thread AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 Strix Halo processor with discrete-class 40-core Radeon 8060S integrated graphics. It delivers up to 126 TOPS of AI performance, enabling localised AI inference, semantic search, and AI-assisted workflows. The 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory is non-expandable, but its unified architecture means the GPU draws directly from that fast pool of RAM. The system supports 5 removable SATA drives and 5 NVMe PCIe drives, giving it dual 10GbE networking, USB4 v2 at 80Gbps, and 4 simultaneous video outputs supporting resolutions up to 8K at 60fps. It suits power users, developers, and small businesses wanting a self-hosted AI workstation, local media server, or high-performance NAS, all in one compact chassis. It ships with Minisforum's proprietary MinisCloud OS for use as a file server, though Windows 11 and Linux can also be installed.
