Very fast and quiet, easy to setup. Plugged in all peripherals everything works.



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.



Windows 11 Pro preinstalled. No bloatware; just a nice clean Windows install. Everything is as described. 2 USB4 ports, one in front, one in back. 1 HDMI. 1 DisplayPort. 4K @ 60 Hz monitors attached and working well. This PC is more quiet than my laptop. You almost can't hear it. I was planning to change power settings in the BIOS to run in Quiet mode, but it is so quiet, I don't think I will do that. I love how small this computer is. I plan to add a 3rd monitor using a USB4 C to DisplayPort cable.

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.

Very easy to set up. I'm not game player but for the work I am doing daily including data analyses, graphs and videos display, and office work, this little PC is super fast and very stable. The new USB4 port is an enormous upgrade from the old VGA port. Good storage device flexibility as well.

Good service, quiet, powerful


installed a few different versions of linux. stayed with linux mint. been ruuning beautifully replaced nvme with a 2tb and filled the second slot with a same brand/size




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.

compact, good pricing, decent IO for the formfactor, can fit in 1U of space in Rack, powerful six-core CPU, you can add your own RAM and multiple drives that you already own, 2.5Gb LAN is a very nice to have! I've owned multiple of the older 4500u skew and all four of them have been rock solid since our purchase.
