- able to fit both my 3050 and 3060, from MSI, along with my PNY A2000 in the case - easy to follow instructions with very clear pictures - incredible cooling - easy disassembly and assembly - 4 NVME slots - removable intake duct for the CPU cooler to allow for another PCIe card to be installed

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

- Size, it is incredibly small - No issues with Intel i5-12400 - BIOS is easy to maneuver


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.




Release Date: 05/30/2026
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.



Never buying a laptop again. EVER.

Great little pc. Small, easy to transport. Power of a desktop, convenience of a laptop. Configuration 96GB ram 4TB SSD




Came bundled with separate RAM stick and M.2. Slid in RAM. Pushed down to click. Slid in M.2, pushed down and turned blue tab to click. Barebones, so I installed from an Ubuntu bootable USB. Quiet. Ipex-llm runs ca. 2023 models around 7B parameters. Couldn't get newer llama.cpp to run with xpu.
