What is it? The Minisforum X35G is a tiny computer that punches well above its weight as it has the sort of hardware usually found in workstation PC.
What makes it special? A lot of things: Windows 10 Pro, a Thunderbolt 3 port, Wi-Fi 6 and even support for Intel’s Optane memory. All this in a PC that’s only 0.6L in volume.
Why should I buy it? We have yet to find anything that comes even close to it in terms of sheer value for money. If you’re lucky enough to prove us wrong, let us know via Twitter.

What else should we know? You get an Intel Core i3-1005G1, a 10th generation dual core processor with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD plus VESA mount capabilities. Other than the aforementioned Thunderbolt 3 port, you get a DisplayPort output, a HDMI port, four USB ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports and a card slot. If that wasn’t enough, you can also add two extra SATA storage devices.
Any cons? The memory is soldered on the board, so no upgrade path. That said, it is configured in dual-channel mode. We would also have preferred a quad-core CPU.
