Minisforum unveiled the MS-03 workstation mini PC, targeting productivity, NAS, and local AI tasks. This compact machine utilizes an Intel Panther Lake Core Ultra 9 386H mobile processor, featuring a 25W TDP with a 80W turbo boost. While not designed for heavy-duty gaming or content creation, its configuration includes four P-Cores, eight E-Cores, and four LP E-Cores, alongside four Arc Xe3 integrated graphics cores.

The MS-03 offers extensive storage capabilities, with three M.2 slots supporting up to 8 TB each. It also includes an adapter for U.2 SSDs, potentially adding 15 TB of enterprise-grade storage. A significant feature is the full-size PCIe x8 slot, allowing for further storage expansion or other add-in cards. The aluminum chassis sports a slide-out motherboard tray for easier access, and it supports up to 128 GB of DDR5-7200 SODIMM memory.

Connectivity includes dual USB4, three front USB Type-A ports, dual 10 GbE SFP+ ports, a 10 GbE RJ45, and a 2.5 GbE RJ45 port, plus Wi-Fi 7. Notably, any GPU installed in the PCIe slot is limited to 75W from the slot itself, due to the lack of a dedicated power connector, and physical size constraints may further limit GPU options. The MS-03 also supports Intel vPro remote management.
