FAQ & Support

Q1: How long does it take to process and ship my order?

A: Shipping times depend on whether your order is a pre-order or in-stock. Pre-orders will be processed and shipped based on the actual date the goods arrive at our warehouse.

For in-stock orders, they are typically processed within 2–3 business days. We primarily ship via DHL, and a tracking number will be emailed to you once your package has left our warehouse.
Q2: Do I need to pay customs duties or taxes?

A: If your shipping address is within the EU: No additional customs fees are required. Minisforum will handle all customs formalities in advance.

If your shipping address is outside the EU: We recommend paying the €30 "Duty-Free Shipping" fee. By doing so, Minisforum will cover any customs duties or taxes incurred during transit.

Q1: Can I return the product if I simply change my mind?

A: Yes, returns due to personal preference are accepted within 30 days, provided the device is unopened and in pristine condition. Please note that return shipping costs for non-defective items are the buyer's responsibility.
Q2: What is your return policy for this product?

A: You may request a refund within 30 days of product delivery (the delivery date is determined by the tracking number record). Requests made after 30 days are eligible for repair or replacement services only.

Q1: What is the total AI computing power of the M2-356H, and what models can it run locally?

A: The M2-356H delivers a total of 90 TOPS (NPU 50 TOPS + GPU 40 TOPS). The M2-356H can run large language models locally, such as Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, GPT-OSS 20B, and Gemma-4-26B-A4B (achieving 22.25 tok/s). With support for up to 128GB of DDR5 memory, the M2-356H can handle sizable quantized models and datasets.
Q2: Can I upgrade the memory and SSD on the M2-356H myself?

A: Yes. The M2-356H features two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots (up to 128GB at 5600MT/s) and two M.2 2280 SSD slots — one PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 5.0 x4 — each supporting up to 4TB, for a total of 8TB of storage. Both are user-upgradeable on the M2-356H.
Q3: What is the USB4 port on the M2-356H capable of, and can it power the device?

A: The front USB4 port on the M2-356H supports 40Gbps data transfer, Alt DP video output (up to 4K@144Hz), and Power Delivery both ways — it can provide up to 15W to charge peripherals and also accept up to 100W PD input to power the M2-356H itself.
Q4: Why does the M2-356H have two 2.5GbE LAN ports?

A: The dual 2.5GbE LAN ports make the M2-356H extremely versatile for networking tasks. You can use them for soft routing, NAS setups, link aggregation for faster file transfers, or connecting to multiple networks simultaneously — perfect for home lab or small office deployments.
Q5: Is the M2-356H quiet enough for a desktop or office environment?

A: Yes. In Balance Mode, the single centrifugal fan on the M2-356H produces around 42.5 dBA at full load (measured from 50cm away). This is comparable to a quiet office environment, and the M2-356H draws only about 47W under full load, making it suitable for 24/7 low-power operation.
Q6: Can I mount the M2-356H behind a monitor or carry it easily?

A: Absolutely. The M2-356H is palm-sized (130×127×50mm) and weighs just 520g. The M2-356H also supports VESA mounting, so you can attach it to the back of a compatible monitor for a clean, clutter-free desktop setup. Its compact size also makes the M2-356H highly portable for temporary workstations or on-site deployment.
