For the price, this is a steal. It's fast, has good graphics for basic gaming.
If it wasn't already known, this thing is small. Probably about twice as big a Raspberry Pi with a case but substantially heavier. It even comes with a mount so that you can install it to the back of a monitor on the VESA mount location. It's also surprisingly fast for the model that I bought. While I didn't do any heavy testing, my experience has been nothing but great. Loading websites, opening programs, etc. Everything worked great. It also didn't get too hot either. Again, the most I did was some light gaming but it stayed fairly cool the entire time. If someone needs a computer for general purposes, I don't think you could go wrong with this one. This mini pc paired with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard would be all someone would need.

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.
Performance is good and it is very stable and consistent. Dual ethernet ports
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 like the size of the case, and the location of the various ports and connections works really well for me - This was really easy to set up. The Windows 11 Pro setup process worked fine without a network connection. Once it was all running and I connected it to my network, it showed good network performance (1G connection to a network with a 800Mb/s firewall throughput and a 1G symmetrical fiber connection). - I was setting this up for an elderly relative, and it was easy to convert the local user to a Microsoft account user and connect to all of his apps and files. - I appreciate that it is virtually silent. I didn't measure the sound level, but I had to get my head close to it to hear the fan running. - The video worked great with the 4k display when I was getting set up, and also worked perfectly with the 1080p display my relative had. - The processor speed and memory is completely satisfactory for running MS Office, photo editing, watching videos, and having a bunch of web pages open. - The price was very reasonable compared to the minitower format PC that he was going to get for himself - even after adding a USB CD/DVD player.
