Should be considerably more powerful and expensive than the HX99G I guess. But the price premium of these kinds of SFF machines usually drives people to go for a laptop instead.
2x Ethernet ports opens up some use cases, and 2.5 Gbps is the obvious cheap upgrade from 1 Gbps, working with existing cables. I understand why you would prefer 1x 10 GbE though. Too bad adoption has been so glacial.
Mobile 4070 at boost clock is roughly inline with the desktop 4060 ti, so not sure how you're claiming it's a 4050 equivalent. Especially since there is no 4050 desktop card yet.
4070m = 4608 cores at 2175mhz vs 4060 Ti = 4352 cores at 2475mhz; both AD106. At non-boost clocks it's roughly equal to the baseline 4060.
The 4060ti is a RTX 4050 with the wrong name. It's die size and memory bus (and performance) make it obvious that it was a RTX 3050 replacement, not a 3060 replacement.
Buying a multi thousand dollar machine with a soldered 8GB GPU in 2023 is a very smooth brained move.
Too bad they can't even get within an order of magnitude of the performance of the graphics of the M1 under any conditions. An M1 could have no cooling whatsoever and still be 10000 times faster than a liquid nitrogen cooled 4090Ti.
Oh wait, I'm supposed to post this with my lemurbutton account. Oh well, tally ho!
Why the fuck does the "killer" networking brand still exist? Why did intel buy it and why hasn't it been killed off. Absolutely bullshit snakeoil product. I don't give a shit if it's just intel wifi / lan the PCIe ID is different, so it needs a custom bullshit driver.
I will never buy any hardware with that shit in it.
Ian Cutress was sucking up to them and using Anandtech to hock their products back in 2016. But yeah, the entire concept is broken and operates in the absence of understanding how packets are handled once they leave a PC's ethernet adapter. It's comical that Intel has kept that brand alive this long and it's amusing/disappointing to see hardware vendors use the branding. I think it's more of an indicator of the intellect of the buyers of PC gaming hardware than anything else though. I mean we are talking about Fortnite fans and adults that are infatuated with LEGO toys that tend to be PC gamers and the marketing is reflective of those types of people as they are the vast majority of enthusiast PC types.

Magnus One is 8.3L. That is very small for a desktop CPU and desktop GPU. Most eGPU enclosures are >12L in comparison.Magnus is 2.6L. It is slightly smaller compared to minisforum's HX99G

Nice design and ports. My only complaint is that the big one only has a combo audio port.TheinsanegamerN - Saturday, August 19, 2023 - link
I'd also prefer a single 10Gbps ethernet instead of 2 2.5 Gbps ports.nandnandnand - Monday, August 21, 2023 - link

For me we should just be using SFP+ cages, gives far more flexibility, and is cheaper.TheinsanegamerN - Friday, August 18, 2023 - link
Priced too high for a RTX 4050 classed up TWICE in laptops. Since it cant be upgraded, would at bare minimum want a RTX 4080 laptop.DanNeely - Monday, August 21, 2023 - link

Lol, I was like "I don't remember Peaches being this guy.." till I got to the last sentence. Nice job!TheinsanegamerN - Tuesday, August 22, 2023 - link

Oh boy, a desktop laptop, priced to be more expensive than a comparable laptop.QChronoD - Thursday, August 24, 2023 - link
Did they give any info of when they're going to be released or how much they'll be?
