- Runs games and other CPU intensive programs really well - Fits 2x NVME M.2 drives even with - With the right case it fits a full size GPU (RTX 3090 Ti pictured) - Sips power due to being a mobile CPU especially at idle - Compact complete package without any CPU setup needed

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.

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.

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.

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.

No bloat, No Spyware, Quiet, stays cool, Windows 11 installed

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.
