The Ryzen 9 Mini PC POWERHOUSE, With a Twist [REATAN Alloy 9 Review]

In this Reatan Alloy 9 review, we take a deep-dive and try this mini pc.
With the Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, 32GB of DDR5 memory, and 1TB of NVME storage, this is definitely a contender for the best mini PC we've had so far on this channel.
Many reviews on YouTube fail to mention some of the flaws of the Reatan Alloy 9, and we hope to show you what you'll need to know about this mini PC before finally making a purchasing decision.
This Mini PC can be found on Amazon (links below)
Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed, and in our review we run benchmarks, test games, and also try emulated systems in Windows and Batocera Linux.
