The most popular games in electronic sports are characterized by the fact that they do not need modern and expensive hardware. Titles like Fortnite, LoL, Counter Strike and others are what we could say are lightweight games that can be moved around with a wide variety of hardware without issue. For all these games we have selected several Minicomputer that they have up to 37% off.
These systems we have selected are enough to play the Top 5 most played on Steam. Here we have CS:GO, Dota 2 and Apex Legends which total more than 2.2 million players. Maybe to play PUBG and Lost Ark, since they are more demanding, we need to make some adjustments. They are also sufficient for Fortnite or LoLamong other games of the category eSports and free.
FORUM MINIS UM450
Currently, we are lucky that computing has evolved a lot and to have a good computer we no longer need a big tower. There are compact solutions of very good quality, as is the case with this Mini PC made by Minis Forum. This system is based on an AMD APU, a processor that incorporates powerful graphics.
More precisely, in this system, we have a AMD Ryzen 5 4500U processor that although it was originally designed for laptops, it is a very good option for these compact computers. We are talking about a processor 6 hearts and 6 threadss with a base frequency of 2.3 GHz and can reach 4 GHz in Boost mode. This processor is accompanied by a graphics card AMD Radeon 6 with 384 stream processors which offers a power of 1.15 TFLOPS.
On the other hand, this system has 16 GB (2×8 GB configuration) of DDR4 RAM memory in SO-DIMM format expandable up to 64 GB. For storage, a 512 GB M.2 SSD and has a SATA port for a 2.5 inch storage drive.
Finally, regarding connectivity, this system has a USB-C 3.2
This seems to us to be an extremely interesting system, even if it has a problem and that is that it is limited in terms of power because it does not have two processing threads per core.
RzBox Ryzen 7 5800H
If you want something with a newer and more powerful processor, but under $500, this is a good option. Another renowned manufacturer of The mini PC is HUGE, which offers good quality solutions. This system is not as elegant as the previous one, being aesthetically more similar to compact industrial computers, a design that is given by the powerful processor it houses.
This system incorporates AMD Ryzen 7 5800H processor, which is quite current and has 8 cores and 16 threads. This processor operates at a frequency of 3.2 GHz and reaches 4.4 GHz in Boost mode. It also has an integrated graphics card, in this case a powerful Radeon Vega 8 which operates at 2000 MHz.
This also has 16GB DDR4 RAM in SO-DIMM format that we can expand up to 64 GB if we wish. Moreover, it has a 512 GB M.2 SSD and it also has a second M.2 SATA slot up to 1TB.
We are going to see connectivity, something that is also very important. It has a USB 2.0 port on the front and a USB-C, as well as connectors for audio input and output. We have a DisplayPort on the back, a HDMI2.0, one VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports and two Ethernet ports. Moreover, it supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
This seems to us a more interesting option because it has a more powerful and modern processor than the previous system.
