Minisforum offers a discount for the UM560 mini PC. With the coupon DBP2VS3P4PQX you can get another $10 off, so the final price for the barebone variant (without RAM and SSD) is $349 instead of $379.
You can also apply the coupon for the other variants that come with RAM and a SSD. If you buy the RAM yourself, make sure to get SODIMM sticks, like they are used in laptops. For the SSD both SATA as well as PCIe m.2 SSDs are supported.
Specs:
AMD Ryzen 5 5625U, 6 Cores/12 Threads (Total L1 Cache 384KB , Total L2 Cache 3MB , Total L3 Cache 16MB , Base Clock 3.3 GHz, up to 4.3 GHz)
AMD Radeon™ Graphics (Graphics Frequency 1800 MHz)
Operating systems can be registered to motherboards. It's how Microsoft has been operating since windows 8. If this is in fact a pre registered key to the motherboard, then simply put windows 11 installer on USB and install windows, bypass the section where it calls for the key and the internet connection, get to the windows boot up and THEN connect to the internet. IF it is pre registered, it will automatically detect the key and register.
Is not having external antenna for the Wi-Fi a strike against mini PCs like this?
Otherwise, doesn't look too bad for a Barcelo 6-core.
I think it depends on the orientation and strength of the antennas. I see someone posted an ETA prime review, that may be worth a look to see if he comments on it.
If there are no reviews on WiFi quality then I suppose it's a gamble!

A: UM560 is Windows 11 Pro pre-installed.
I'm confused by their answer.

Probably installed without key, so can't personalize it and not really "licensed".
