Minisforum has quietly introduced a compact desktop system that offers a new approach to connectivity, layout and usability in workstation configurations.
New M1-1295 mini pc uses Intel16-core Core i9-12950HX processor, but designed with a twist.
Instead of the typical row of ports on the front panel, the device only shows a power button, bringing each port to the rear panel.
Minimalist design that redefines front-end I/O
Port density is a mini PC's main selling point, but the M1-1295's clean front panel eliminates visual clutter.
The rear panel features four USB ports, a 2.5 Gbps LAN connector, three display outputs, and three separate audio jacks that allow for line-in, line-out, and microphone connections.
While this might earn it kudos from audio professionals, it makes quick access less practical for casual users.
Physically, the Minisforum M1-1295 measures 195 x 193 x 52 millimeters and weighs just over one kilogram.
Inside, a single turbofan paired with a copper heat pipe is used for cooling.
Although compact, the company says the design delivers workstation-level performance rather than ultra-lightweight portability.
This could position him as one of the best workstation Best-in-class options for small studios or embedded environments that want performance without a bulky tower.
This PC for business Comes with 32GB DDR4-3200 memory and a 1TB SSD running Windows 11 Pro out of the box.
It supports up to 64GB of RAM for users who require heavier multitasking or rendering workloads.

Although the M1-1295 mini PC has high specifications, its appeal depends on perspective.
For users who frequently connect external drives or peripherals, the lack of a USB-C port on the front may be frustrating.
For those who prefer a neat workspace or discreet placement in media configurations, the trade-off may be worthwhile.
