Most mini PCs fall into two visual camps: anonymous black boxes meant to hide behind a monitor, or aggressive RGB bricks that look like shrunken gaming rigs. Neither category thinks much about how the machine actually sits in a room. The MINISFORUM AtomMan G1 Pro takes a different route, leaning into a slim white tower form that looks more like a scaled-down desktop than a puck, designed to live on the desk as part of the composition.
The AtomMan G1 Pro is a compact gaming and creator PC that pairs an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HX with a desktop-class NVIDIA RTX 5060. It’s powerful enough for AAA gaming and 3D work, but what makes it interesting from a design perspective is how it packages that hardware into a minimalist vertical tower with a wave-textured side panel and a single, controlled strip of lighting in front.
Designer: MINISFORUM
The G1 Pro stands upright on a small base, with a tall, slim body finished in white rather than the usual black. One side panel is a continuous wave texture that catches light softly instead of shouting with vents and logos. That vertical stance frees up desk space and makes it feel more like a small speaker or piece of audio gear than a traditional mini PC, which changes how you might place it in a living room or studio.
A vertical light strip runs along the front, adding a subtle cyan accent without turning the whole case into an RGB billboard. The MINISFORUM logo is printed vertically, aligning with the tower posture. Front I/O is tucked into that same edge, with a power button, USB-A, USB-C, and audio jack easily reachable but visually quiet, so the wave-textured face stays clean and uninterrupted.
Inside, a full-length RTX 5060 desktop GPU sits vertically alongside the Ryzen 9 CPU, fed by a 350W internal PSU and a third-generation Glacier cooling system. Wide-diameter fans, copper heat pipes, and a two-sided exhaust layout push air through the tall chassis. The tower form is not just aesthetic; it gives the airflow a clear path and lets the machine dissipate up to 300W without looking like a heat sink on legs.
On the back, multiple DisplayPort and HDMI ports support up to four 4K displays, along with plenty of USB and a 5GbE LAN port. That means it can anchor a serious multi-monitor setup for gaming, editing, or coding while still looking tidy from the front. The white shell and vertical stance help it blend into both studio and living room setups without dominating the visual field.
The AtomMan G1 Pro shows what happens when a performance-focused mini PC gets a bit more design attention. It doesn’t abandon specs, but it wraps them in a form that feels more considered than another black brick. For anyone who wants desktop-class power in a machine that can actually sit on the desk without spoiling the view, this little white tower is worth watching when it ships early next year.
