MINISFORUM Neptune HX100G Mini PC Details
In line with its predecessors, the MINISFORUM HX100G features a case crafted from carbon fiber and resin materials. The adoption of a Ryzen 7040 processor promises improved CPU performance, coupled with a substantial enhancement in integrated graphics capabilities.
Despite the utilization of a Radeon RX 6650M discrete GPU, which operates on RDNA 2 architecture, a step behind the integrated GPU’s graphics architecture, the discrete GPU is expected to outshine the integrated counterpart. This is attributed to the discrete GPU’s 28 compute units, 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and a 100-watt TGP.
The Neptune HX100G supports up to 64GB of DDR5-4800 dual-channel memory and provides two M.2 2280 slots for PCIe 4.0 NVMe or SATA SSDs.
Connectivity options are extensive, featuring:
- 2 x HDMI 2.1

- USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A
- 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
- 2.5 Gb Ethernet
- 3.5mm headphone
- 3.5mm mic input
Besides, HX100G supports a quad display, enabling simultaneous connection to two 8K@60Hz (via USB4) and two 4K@60Hz (via HDMI) displays. Compact in size, measuring 205 x 203 x 69mm (8.1″ x 8″ x 2.7″) with an internal volume of 2.9 liters, the HX100G comes with a 19V/6.7A power supply.
