Hardware  Minisforum announces its new mini PC that looks like a PS5 and has a GTX 4070

Minisforum is launching a new mini PC, one that maximizes power, in as slim a form factor as possible. Designed to sort of look like the PlayStation 5, the Minisforum AtomMan G7 TI is extremely flat, while also rocking as much power as a beefy gaming laptop. Inside the machine is the mobile NVIDIA 4070 graphics card, an Intel® Core i9-14900HX Processer, and a staggering amount of vents to keep the machine cool.

Hardware  Gundam Fans, You Need This Controller In Your Lives

Described as a "hybrid joystick", the RSG (Rapid Steering Gear) works with Windows and Linux and boasts a wide selection of inputs, all of which are customizable. The most interesting element is that it can also act as a steering and movement device, just like Amuro Ray's controls in his all-singing, all-dancing Mobile Suit. Given the sheer amount of customisation that is possible with such a controller, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to learn it can be used with a vast array of games – but it certainly makes us dream...

This update has required the team to completely redesign the console's physical case. The modules will have their own controller ports, so you'll be able to use your original pads and accessories as well.
