Is it worth buying the EliteMini X500?
If you are looking for a powerful and expandable Mini PC based on the Ryzen 7 5700G processor then the X500 Mini PC should satisfy you. However, if you are hesitating between purchasing the EliteMini HX90 Ryzen 9 5900HX Mini PC and the MINISFORUM X500 Ryzen 7 5700G Mini PC, take note of a few reviews and opinions.
Besides, It is also worth mentioning that Ryzen 7 5700G also integrates a Radeon integrated graphics card up to 2000MHz. However, the 5900HX is more efficient in graphical power due to the 2.1 GHz clock maximum which happens to be above 100 MHz higher than the 5700G model. When it comes to workload power, the Ryzen 7 5700G performs slightly better than the Ryzen 9 5900HX model, including graphical workloads.
