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.

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.

Good service, quiet, powerful

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

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.

Never buying a laptop again. EVER.
