MINISFORUM arrived at Computex 2026 with four new AI-focused products spanning storage, workstation, and mini PC categories. The lineup includes the N5 Max AI NAS, S5 All-Flash NAS, MS-03 AI Mini Workstation, and M2 Pro AI Mini PC, all designed around local AI processing and high-speed networking without relying on cloud-based infrastructure.
MINISFORUM N5 Max
N5 Max serves as the flagship of the new lineup. The system combines storage, networking, and AI acceleration inside a single platform powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ 395 processor.
The chip delivers up to 126 TOPS of AI performance and is paired with 64GB of LPDDR5X-8533 unified memory. According to MINISFORUM, the system can run large language models such as Qwen3.6 35B entirely offline on local hardware.
Five 3.5-inch SATA drive bays and five M.2 SSD slots allow total storage capacity to reach up to 200TB. Dual 10GbE networking and dual 80Gbps USB4 v2 ports provide high-bandwidth connectivity for multi-user environments and large file transfers.
The platform ships with MinisCloud OS and supports MinisOpenClaw, MINISFORUM’s AI assistant platform. The company says data remains local through offline account systems, isolated storage, and a zero-token architecture designed around privacy.
MINISFORUM S5 All-Flash NAS
The S5 takes a different approach by replacing hard drives entirely with flash storage. Built around Intel’s Core Series 3 platform, the system uses five M.2 2280 SSD slots and is designed for users who prioritize speed, low noise, and compact deployment.
The fanless chassis eliminates both cooling-fan noise and hard-drive vibration, making the S5 suitable for studios, home offices, media rooms, and other environments where noise can become a distraction. MINISFORUM also equips the system with 10GbE networking, USB4 connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 6 support.
The company says the platform delivers between 24 and 33 TOPS of AI performance while supporting MinisOpenClaw AI workflows and semantic search capabilities.
MINISFORUM MS-03 AI Mini Workstation
MS-03 updates the earlier MS-01 platform with Intel’s upcoming Core Ultra Series 3 processors manufactured on Intel’s 18A process technology. The system is aimed at creators, developers, and professional workloads that require workstation-class performance in a compact footprint.
MINISFORUM pairs the processor with a 70W thermal design, dual PCIe 5.0 M.2 SSD slots, DDR5-7200 memory support, Wi-Fi 7, and integrated 10GbE networking. The platform’s NPU delivers up to 50 TOPS of AI performance.
MINISFORUM M2 Pro AI Mini PC
M2 Pro focuses on AI acceleration inside a compact metal chassis with a built-in power supply, eliminating the external power adapters commonly associated with mini PCs.
MINISFORUM claims up to 180 platform AI TOPS through Intel Panther Lake processors, integrated Xe3 graphics, and support for up to 128GB of LPDDR5X-8533 memory. The system can also be expanded with an external GPU through OCuLink connectivity.
Storage support extends to three M.2 2280 SSDs, while connectivity includes three USB4 ports, HDMI, DisplayPort, 2.5GbE and 10GbE networking, an SD card reader, and a dedicated Microsoft Copilot button on the front panel. The chassis can also be mounted behind monitors using a VESA-compatible mounting system.
