Parameters and Appearance#
Appearance#
According to the official specifications, the size of the host is 126x113x42mm.
The whole machine is very portable, and if the pocket is big enough, it can even be put in the pocket.
Parameters#
I/O interfaces
The front panel has one CLR CMOS button, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 10Gbps ports, including two Type-A ports and one Type-C port (supporting DP video output, PD power supply, but not reverse power supply), one 3.5mm TRRS port, and one power button with status indicator.
The rear panel has one 1Gbps RJ45 port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Type-A port, one DP port, one HDMI port, and one 19V DC-IN port.
Inside the host, there is one SATA 3.0 port, one PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 2280 port, one PCIe 2.0 x1 M.2 2230 port, and two SO-DIMM DDR4 slots.
Detailed configuration is as follows:
| Hardware | Model |
|---|---|
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 7 5800H |
| GPU | AMD Radeon Vega 8 / NVIDIA Tesla M40 |
| RAM | Gloway DDR4-2666 16G |
| Hard Drive | Zhitai SC001 Active 1T |
| Sound Card | Realtek ALC897 |
| Ethernet Card | Realtek RTL8168 |
| Wireless Card | Intel AX200 |
User Experience#
The workmanship is excellent, and opening the machine is pleasing to the eye, like a work of art, much better than my previous MX5X.
After receiving it, I plugged in the hard drive and memory, and it booted up instantly without any strange memory compatibility issues.
It's very compact, and with a portable screen, you can take it anywhere.
As for performance, when all three PBO options are maximized and Scalar is adjusted to 10x, it can briefly run at full load at 4.1Ghz on all cores, but it can only sustain it for a few seconds before throttling down to 3.6-3.7Ghz. The CPU-Z score drops from around 5950+ to 5280+.
I tried playing CHUNITHM LMN, and when running in windowed mode, it drops frames quite severely in areas with complex effects. Other games are yet to be tested.
The BIOS has a high degree of freedom, and almost everything that can be unlocked has been unlocked, without the need to use UniversalAMDFormBrowser settings.
The fan is relatively quiet, and it's fine to have it next to you while sleeping without any load. However, the noise is quite loud at full load (after all, it's an inherent heat problem with AMD).
After connecting the M40 externally, the performance has made a qualitative leap , of course, the fan noise has also made a qualitative leap.

Conclusion#
The overall user experience is good, and it is completely sufficient for daily office work, writing articles, coding, and playing Gal (obviously).
I am currently using an OCuLink external M40, and the gaming performance is completely satisfactory.
This article will be continuously updated as I continue to use it.
