The Minisforum M1 Pro-285H is built around an Intel Core™ Ultra 9 285H processor featuring 16 cores and 16 threads with turbo frequencies up to 5.4 GHz, paired with an integrated Intel Arc™ 140T GPU. Its dual-channel DDR5 memory runs at 6400 MHz and can be expanded up to 128 GB, while storage is accommodated via two PCIe 4.0-capable M.2 2280 NVMe SSD slots supporting RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations. The system ships as a barebone unit without an OS license, but Windows 11 Pro and Microsoft Copilot come pre-installed to enable immediate use of AI-driven tools, virtual machines, Docker containers, and other professional workflows.

Encased in a 128 × 126 × 52 mm aerospace-grade aluminum chassis weighing just 0.6 kg, the M1 Pro-285H offers both VESA-mount and desktop placement options. Connectivity includes two USB4 ports (with DisplayPort 1.4 alt-mode), one HDMI 2.1 port, one DisplayPort 1.4 output, multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a 2.5 GbE LAN jack, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, and an OCuLink port for external GPU expansion. Audio is handled by an onboard sound card with noise reduction and dual speakers, with support for quick switching to external USB audio devices. Minisforum backs the M1 Pro with free shipping in Canada, a two-year warranty, 30-day returns, and lifetime technical support.
