Minisforum MS-S1 MAX-P495 listed at €7,799, deemed poor value vs Mac Studio
streppelchen · reddit · 2026-09-28
Minisforum's MS-S1 MAX-P495 is listed at €7,799 in the EU, shipping mid-October. Reddit users argue that paying roughly double for 50% more RAM and only 5-10% more performance makes little sense against the newly released M5 Ultra Mac Studio, even factoring in rising RAM prices.
