All you need for Home Office use. Very small, runs cool Up to date Wifi, USB and monitor connectivity

It is quick to be ready out of the box. It does play games very well for its size ( tested non HD ) sim city, world of tanks, ark ( fps above 40 ) small versatile design that makes it fit well anywhere Performs well on all the stuff that the internet has to offer.

After two years of continuous use in my homelab, the MINISFORUM NAB6 has completely exceeded my expectations. This little things was my first dedicated proxmox host. I've been consistently running seven virtual machines a mix of game servers and Docker hosts without a hiccup. The performance is there, I'm running a few dozen containers & everything runs without delay. Build quality is solid as well. Also, the amount of raw compute available in this compact package is more cost and power effective than a handful of Pi 5's. I upgraded the system to 64gb of ram and NAB6 still has plenty of headroom to run more applications.

Feels very "snappy" in use Window 11 Pro Dual channel ram Nice clean installation No dorky RGB and a nice "case" for an office Nicely laid out with ports in the back to keep the desk clean

For the price, this is a steal. It's fast, has good graphics for basic gaming.

-I got this just to run my media server since the raspberry pi wasnt cutting it for video encoding, I was assuming Id just run a headless gentoo installation and keep things minimal. The CPU is a beast! I got the most bloated arch hyprland setup (Ml4w) and it runs beautifully with a containerized media server (Jellyfin, Prowlarr, Jackett, multiple Usenets and NZB indexers + tailscale webapp hosting so my family can add stuff remotely) and it honestly has plenty of room to spare! I only put 16 GB of DDR5 ram in it as well. -The build quality is astoundingly good, I literally found this machine by searching for cheapest Chinesium barebones pc made of bamboo. But the thing is metal, feels s o l i d, has good airflow, and the internals are well seated. -Very good engineering/design, the 1st ssd slot is slightly raised as to not touch the control module battery. That sounds small but its a chefs kiss when so many builds have irreconcilable placement issues

Fast boot time, speedy internals. Runs proxmox with little to no hassle Handles most linux distros with ease. Small form factor and surprisingly modular, I was pleasantly supersized with the amount of onboard M.2 slots.


-Much smaller than a built computer, and smaller than a laptop! -The cpu runs 4.0ghz on all cores, impressive for a mobile CPU -GPU runs significantly well on linux for all applications. Light-mid gaming. Some games are not really possible due to the fact that it is not a discrete card. But you are getting the best performance from this little computer. -Great BIOS. You can make settings changes better than some of the other motherboard companies. I specifically like the fact that you can change the power draw that that it can pull (choose 54 watts if you want maximum performance! I promise it is worth it!) -RJ45 port (ethernet) runs as well as can be expected. -HDMI port, and 2 USB-C (with a 40gbps port and PID-in [if you want to power a display this way]) are very good additions. As well you do get 4 USB 3.1 ports. -The internal cooling is top notch! Airflow beats even that of laptops




Using Lemonade Server for local AI tasks and it works very well. Using the AMD XRT PPA the NPU is supported, and there are plenty of community resources online (youtube, discord, github) to help get started doing stuff. It's fast enough and got plenty of memory for running 120B models or doing big vibe coding projects. Token generation between 35-50 tokens per second which isn't screaming fast but is quite usable. 1024x1024 Flux-2-Klein-4B runs in under 2 minutes with a 2048 token prompt. Highly power efficient. My regular ryzen workstation idles at 80W, 10x more than the 8W of this box. Good thermal management, it doesn't make a whole lot of noise in balanced mode even when doing sustained work.

we love this thing. Most of our work is just using a web browser and printing in the office. We replaced a power hungry tower with one of these running ubuntu and KDE plasma. No issues, runs like a champ. amazed at how fast and power this is for its size. We are ordering another one to replace another large tower.



No bloat, No Spyware, Quiet, stays cool, Windows 11 installed

Installing the NVMe SSD and RAM was easy, never needed the manual. Acessing the UEFI BIOS to select the USB drive to install the OS also required no fiddling
