BEST SELLERS

In Mini-PC Barebone

- Small footprint - Silent - Fast, really fast - Power efficient, this unit runs at 4 watts on idle, that's just wild! - Fast DDR5 5600 - Wi-Fi 7 (if Wi-Fi is your thing)

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.

I got the Intel Core Ultra 5 225H with 2x 8Gb M425R1GB4BB0-CQK RAM and I can multi-task like crazy. 15 browser tabs opened, 2 of them are YouTube. No freezing. Solid.

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.

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.

- Lots of cores and high clock speed - Integrated cooling assembly (standard 120mm fan sold separately) - Supports 96GB RAM - 2.5G LAN - Powerful iGPU with configurable memory allocation - mITX size takes up minimal amount of space

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

- 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.

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.
