Review date January 9, 2024, about two weeks after launch. Same figure as TechRadar, but a review-time price rather than a maker-published MSRP.7Reviewtechradar.com/computing/hands-on-minisforum-ms-01-reviewRead 10 October 2026The SKU reviewed here (Core i9-13900H, 32GB DDR5, 1TB) costs $829 in the US. The review gives US prices of $589, $699 and $829 for the three ready-to-run tiers. This is the price at review time, about two weeks after the late December 2023 launch. Minisforum published no launch price that could be found. ServeTheHome gives the same $829 for the same configuration. Tax treatment is not stated.

Printed pages 1 and 13 describe tool-free slide-out chassis after hand-tightened screws. Page 10 says the electrical PCIe x4 slot is physically x8. The second mechanical x16 slot uses proprietary signals and is occupied by the included 25G plus two-NVMe card, so no generic electrical lane count is assigned. M.2 E-key WLAN slot and its PCIe 4.0 x1 support appear on pages 9-10. No SATA drive bay is inferred from support for SATA on one M.2 connector. SFP28 text is on page 8.
