Well made wish was DDR5
Works Wonderful for the need to replace my Tower for everyday use , Tends to overheat the SSD storage for 2.5 iis so close in tolerance it presses agains the sodimm memory. I do wish I read taht this is only ddr4 when teh chip is made for both, yet it is what it is and my fault. Thank you

New computer with Windows 11, great replacement for you old Desktop.
If you are looking to replace your desktop computer, this small and powerful computer could be a great fit.Windows 11 preinstalled and room in the cover to install a SSD.

Minisforum Nab6 lite mini pc
Great job with the tiny desktop PC. Came with clean Windows 11 pro. I take off one star because there is no tech support on Minisforum Web site. It's looked like the sale is more important than the tech support.

Can't run OEM windows, disabling secure boot is possible but frustrating
The device is not able to run legit OEM Windows from Microsoft: it requires drivers which aren't published. The drivers published on the Minisforum website don't work with Windows 11, it's impossible to install. Apparently the manufacturer has to give you a special Windows ISO that can reinstall windows on this hardware, which is so sketchy I have no words...Installing Linux is more annoying than it should be: the BIOS option to disable secure boot is greyed out, until you put a Windows 11 install ISO in any USB slot! You never have to actually boot Windows to allow the option to be changed in the BIOS, you just have to DD the free install ISO to a USB stick and insert it, after which the option will no longer be greyed out and you can disable secure boot. Truly bizarre...Avoid this one: it's cheap for a reason.

Excellent and thoughtful build quality.
I have purchased 3 of the NAB/NPB series MinisForum PCs and they have been great so far. If you’re looking for a mini PC that has a great amount of performance for the price and size, look no further. I already have, and these were some of the best. Let’s face it, most of the issues with these off-brand mini PCs is that they have poor thermal control, either by poor cooler or software design, and cheap peripherals/memory/storage. Some manufacturers think low fan noise is the most important design factor. Compared to reliability, I disagree. For these, thermals are well within what I’d expect from a laptop with similar specs. They idle around 40C and 15w. Peak CPU power is 90w, but thermal throttle to ~45w and stay a little under 80C under full load. This is impressive performance that many other mini PCs don’t accomplish. The CPU cooler design and installation is very thoughtful. For example, there are two sets of radiators (cooling fins) fed by significant copper heat pipes. Between the bottom cover and the cooler unit, there is some foam weatherstripping. At first I thought this was just to cover the interface between the fan and radiators to prevent air leakage and reduce vibration potential, but then realized it was largely segmenting the lower case cavity between intake and exhaust air so that hot air would be less likely to re-uptake into the fan. Very smart… Then there’s the fan itself. I noticed the blade design looked familiar. It looks very similar to the one that ASUS designed for their ROG gaming laptops that has a low turbulence coefficient and is supposed to accumulate less dust. My guess is the design was likely…appropriated somehow. But it’s a plus for this unit regardless. I have had no issues with connectivity of the ports or WiFi. I have not tried bluetooth connectivity, for lack of need. You have to keep in mind that there is limited power available for each USB port and if you intend to connect a bunch of external devices you’ll probably need a powered hub. The nice thing about these units in particular, is the number and type of ports available. One thing I wouldn’t expect to get out of these is any gaming beyond casual. With no discrete graphics adapter, it’s just not going to happen. The graphics performance you will get, is sufficient for photo and video editing with one or more UHD display, and as I suggest, casual gaming. Overall, a great buy. I think one thing hampering the rating of these models, are the other models attached to this listing. One of the models seems to have thermal problems — the UM773 Lite. I can personally vouch for the two series I listed.
