Never buying a laptop again. EVER.

The ASUS NUC 13 Pro was purchased as an HTPC for our outdoor theater that projects to a twelve foot diagonal screen. The compact size of this computer made this product an ideal choice. It is configured with a 1TB Western Digital SN770 M.2 2280 and 16GB (2x8gb) of GSkill Ripjaw DDR4 3200 ram. Installation of the M.2 and ram took less than five minutes. Windows 11 installed without any problems. I am especially impressed with the range of the included A211 Intel WI-FI and bluetooth capabilities of this unit. You will need to download and install the drivers that are readily available from the ASUS web site. After these drivers are installed, you will have complete connectivity to your home network. The graphics of this unit are off the charts outstanding with the included Intel Xe Video capabilities that produce razor sharp images; even when projected to a twelve foot screen. The ASUS Pro 13 far exceeded my expectations. For the sound system, I used a 10-year old Sound Blaster USB sound card that configured flawlessly. Also, with unit being configured with two Thunderbolt ports, I am able to connect any USB-C accessories as well as any future Thunderbolt upgrades.

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.

Good service, quiet, powerful

-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

Small. Zippy i7-1260p. Thunderbolt 4 x 2. 2.5" drive bay. Great for retro games emulation.

- High end processor for laptop standards - So small it's basically an enclosure for the processor - Upgradable to 64Gb and has two nvme slots - Decent internal GPU (Radeon 780M) and it can borrow system RAM up to 16GB - Good thermals (uses liquid metal on the CPU). The nvme drives have their own thermal pads and fan.

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
