With the new MS-A2, Minisforum is launching a powerful workstation in mini-PC format. The compact computer is aimed at users who are looking for high performance with minimal space requirements – ideal for creative tasks, professional applications and demanding workflows. In addition to top-class hardware, the system is particularly impressive due to its excellent network and expansion capabilities.
- AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX processor with 16 cores and 32 threads.
- Support for up to 96 GB DDR5 RAM and two PCIe Gen4 SSDs.
- Dual 2.5 Gigabit LAN for fast and stable network connections.
- Compact housing with a wide range of connections and VESA mount option.
Maximum performance in a mini format
At the heart of the Minisforum MS-A2 is the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX, a high-performance processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, which offers immense computing power that is particularly suitable for parallel tasks such as 3D rendering, video editing or virtualization. The processor is supported by an efficient cooling solution designed to ensure constant performance even under continuous load.
In terms of RAM, the system can be configured with up to 96 GB DDR5 RAM. This ensures that even memory-intensive applications run smoothly. Two slots for PCIe Gen4 SSDs are available for data storage, which not only enable high capacities, but also offer extremely fast loading and transfer times. Users can therefore manage both large projects and extensive media collections without any restrictions.
Strong connectivity and flexible expandability
The network equipment of the Minisforum MS-A2 is particularly outstanding: two 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports enable a particularly fast and redundant connection to the network – an advantage for working environments in which large amounts of data need to be transferred reliably. This is complemented by Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, which ensure modern wireless communication.
Despite its compact dimensions, the MS-A2 offers numerous connection options: USB-4, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4 and several USB 3.2 ports are available. In addition, the mini PC can be mounted directly behind monitors or on walls thanks to the VESA mount, making the workstation particularly space-saving. RAM and storage can also be easily upgraded, which significantly extends the service life of the system.
The solid aluminum housing not only ensures a high-quality feel, but also supports heat dissipation and the general stability of the hardware. The MS-A2 is therefore not only aimed at classic office applications, but also at professional users from the fields of media production, development and technology.
Conclusion
The Minisforum MS-A2 combines high-end hardware with an extremely compact design and thus offers an interesting solution for professional applications in confined spaces. With its powerful Ryzen processor, flexible expandability and excellent network connection, it is ideally equipped for many demanding tasks. The MS-A2 is available immediately and starts at a price of 689.00 euros in Europe directly from the manufacturer.
