[Fujimoto's Digital Audio Laboratory] the new tune of the main PC after an interval of about 3 years. The introduction of a simplified AMD machine "MINISFORUM"-AV Watch

Buy Bethune from PC MINISFORUM in Hong Kong. Memory and SSD add up to about 100000 yen

In the relationship between review equipment and software, the author uses a number of PC.

The mainframe has always been a desktop computer based on Windows, where the audio interface is connected, DAW and waveform editing software are added. The Windows alone cannot be captured, so the Mac Mini, in the form of a shared display with the host, is also used every time a new model appears in the first generation aircraft.

On the other hand, in addition to carrying portable laptops for interviews, it also runs "DTM Station Plus!" online programs, which are easy to take to desktops outside, and NUC has been in use for many years. In addition, there are also cases of operating companies, and the company's office PC is also ready to be used separately.

In this case, Shuttle's Rubik's cube Berborne has been used for nearly 15 years.

Before that, he made the tower-shaped PC,Shuttle machine, which is also very compact compared with the tower and mini-tower. As long as you set up CPU, memory and storage, you can make a machine of your favorite specifications, which I like very much. Therefore, when the generation of CPU becomes new, the Berborne of the matching Shuttle is obtained and assembled.

However, Shuttle's new Bevern appeared nearly half a year to a year after the new CPU appeared, so the price of CPU is just getting better and better, easy to buy and convenient. Therefore, it is not necessary to get the fastest machine, but as long as you have a machine with good performance, so this is a good idea.

However, in recent years, Shuttle has been slow to move, and New Bairn has never appeared. To be exact, despite the emergence of digital signage and ultra-thin PC for FA use, there are no mainstream machines, and the eighth generation of Intel Core called "SH370R6" purchased three years ago is still the latest model. Although I had been waiting for nearly two years, I decided to find another way because there was no sign of it.

Recently, I don't know the details of PC at all, so when introducing the new model, we talked about Kotori and his staff. According to the suggestions from here, AMD now has a higher Ryzen than Intel and a better performance-to-price ratio. I've been looking for how to build a fully homemade tower, but the cost has become quite high. I don't like being a bigger machine. I don't know what to do.

Among them, what I happened to see on SNS in August was a MINISFORUM machine called HX90. This is a slim machine that is also handsome in design, with Bethune of the fifth-generation Ryzen9 targeted. To be exact, this is a machine equipped with high-performance CPU for Ryzen9 5900HX laptops. In addition to Berborne, you can also choose to assemble PC. However, Bevern is more cost-effective and can carry more memory and storage space, so Bevern looks better.

MINISFORUM is a company that is often seen in online advertising recently, but it is completely unfamiliar with it. Take a look at the sales website is like a Hong Kong company, but a light check, the reputation is not bad. At that time, the appointment for sale reached the middle of September, and the feeling of charm was that it was cheap of 82690 yen, plus if we made an appointment and bought it now, it was closed at 72690 yen. "are you all right?" although he hesitated for a moment, he entered his credit card number to buy on the spot.

For the author, AMD's CPU is the first time in nearly 20 years since "K6-2Athlon". To be exact, at the end of last year, in order to replace NUC, he bought the mini PC on the Ryzen 54500U as a new machine, but because the performance was worse than the previous NUC, he quickly let go. Therefore, it has not been formally introduced for a long time.

The equipment arrived smoothly in Fedex on September 10th as planned. At first glance, Kaifeng is in beautiful condition. At first glance, it doesn't seem to have any trouble. By the way, it was recorded in mid-September that there are still 0 days left for the 10000 yen OFF reservation discount, and the current visit in October is also "booking sales to restart! 10000 yen OFF implementation". Perhaps there is no need to worry.

So, the HX90 you bought is Bethune, so it won't move. NUC also contains CPU, so you can run it by putting it into memory and storage.

Although you can buy it in advance, it is also an overseas mail order, so you can buy it at Amazon after confirmation. Specifically, TEAM's DDR4 3200 is a set of 16GBx2, and TEAM's M.2 1TB SSD. That adds up to 27960 yen, which, together with Bain, is exactly 100000 yen (the correct is 100650 yen). Is the price quite affordable?

When you arrive, remove the HX90 screw and load the memory and SSD into it. Although the work itself is very simple, the structure of the lid cannot be easily removed only by removing the screw. This is a plastic chassis, but I need some tricks to take it off, and I have to add a little bit of strength. I'm afraid of breaking, but there's no problem with setting the end.

Then install Windows 10 Professional. Since the extent of the action has been confirmed, I can rest assured here. And the PC startup time explosion speed, from the full shutdown state to turn on the power to the Windows start for 7 seconds. Calculated from the logo display status of MINISFORUM, it starts within 3 seconds, which is the fastest of all previous generations of machines.

Compared with the Berborne of Shuttle used before, it feels that the volume has dropped to less than 20%. However, compared with the ontology, the AC adapter is quite large, which is a difficulty. Since the maximum power consumption is 119.7W, so many AC adapters may be required.
