First of all I am no gamer, just a business user: I can only speak under that use case standpoint.I find this mini-pc an excellent deal. It is replacing a static HP Envy laptop which I have been using since 2020. This mini pc is noticeably quieter, which is an essential factor to me: I would not tolerate a noisy fan. The visible performance improvement is negligible, but it was expected as the various benchmarks are testing extreme conditions which a business user will never encounter.The big question (perhaps the elephant in the room), which cannot be answered yet, is durability. My HP laptop is still running strong after 4 years of moderate use, just with some new, mild issues possibly related to Windows updates rather than to its hardware: only time will tell how this mini pc will do.

I Have found this Minicomputer by Minisforum to be very good value for the money paid. It has good specifications. Has the latest i9 processor and the performance i find to be very good.

I bought the NAB9 hoping for a budget-friendly Mac Mini alternative—maybe this is a case of you get what you pay for. It started crashing randomly after just a few days, often with the blue screen of death. Some days it worked fine, then the issues would return.Bluetooth never worked, and the BIOS hasn’t been updated—it feels like an unfinished product. I really hope the manufacturer improves stability with future updates, because the idea is solid.Returned to Amazon after a few disappointing weeks-I wanted this to work.

Worked for a day and then randomly shut down and won't ever power on again,I'm not very happy I'm quite upset Amazon has given me a refund and will purchase again I hope the next one is not defective. (Edited review I got a refund and then bought it again it's been working for a solid 2 weeks now perfect for my game servers handles big maps, lots of players and next gen game servers )

This is awesome, I'm using it to run ableton live and make music.... absolutely brilliant, cost effective and powerful. No complaints, does everything I want it to!

Great

I had some initial troubles trying to get some functionality running on an existing windows installation, some of the drivers for the wifi, bluetooth, and ethernet needed to be downloaded separately as windows update didn't seem to manage to get workable drivers for it. It wasn't necessarily clear which drivers you specifically needed as they were offering some variety (intel vs broadtek, etc).While the PC was running, it was great, very powerful. Unfortunately, like many others, my unit seemed to fail very very quickly. Bought start of february and by mid march it had already failed! Didn't power on and unit seemed to receive no power. It's very unfortunate as at this price point and with the power efficiency at hand, it was a very capable machine, I just wish the quality was better.

First impression Excellent low power 15-20watt ,Fast CPU No Noise level i could hear above other PC , Quality at first very good work like a charm running Proxmox Node idling at about 1% cpu used with Plex Server running VM Windows server some More LXC running no sweet at all , but this where i not impressed sitting at my desk then it just shut off and will not turn back on, Checked PSU all ok removed ram and M.2 SSD put one tried some more ram nothing , did a little google search and people have had issues with Battery fail, checked mine all ok tried a new battery nope dead as a door stop , Spoken to amazon they agreed to refund me , was very impressed up till today . purchased in mid Jan 2025 failed Mid March 2025 so lasted two months. now thinking do a throw the dice and get another one or notUpdate on My NAB9 after speaking with Minisforum and getting a replacement unit 2 years warranty and having been running for a few days it does run like a charm . Home Assist , Plex Server , windows VM x 2 a couple of LXC all running at 1% CPU uses ilde not even sweeting so far so Good. i have update it to 4 Stars once i totally happy it and no more issues i will give it five stars watch this space for further updates
