- AM5 socket is upgradeable and supports powerful CPUs like 7800X3D/9800X3D - Fast Gen5 (PCIe 5.0) M.2 slot - USB-C is a welcome upgrade over VGA I/O in the previous model - STX form factor is smaller than ITX!

Slides in and out of case without wires getting in the way. Built Deskmini in 2019 tight fit. This was smooth. Nice to have full size ram. Used amd 8600G and Corsair CMK32GX5M2B5200C40 2 sticks for total 32gb ram. Used wd SN850X 1TB. Will wait on 5gen ssd to come down in price. Wifi is still a pain to attach leads to card!!

I spent a fortune years ago building a giant Ryzen 5 PC with a huge case, fancy video card, huge power supply, and dozens of fans, then the power supply and video card finally blew. I replaced it with this unit, and couldn't be more pleased. Heine site is usually 20/20, this little thing preforms better than the monster did at a tenth of the price. Linux Mint setup was a picnic, this puppy is stronger than Granny's tonic for the money.

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

Small, good design. The included power supply is surprisingly good quality. Motherboard has 4 ram slots which is very handy (I guess...I used 2 only) Big surprise is that, according to product specification and asrock website, the ram goes up to 3200 mhz. However, I tried with my 3600 and 3800mhz ram, I ran xmp without any problem. Due to no air flow, the cpu will be hot under load. However, the graphic card intake and out take holes were designed great, so my gpu temp always stay reasonable while gaming.

- 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

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.


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.





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.

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