The Ninkear Mbox 8 Pro debuted as an interesting mini PC, featuring a modular base that allows storage and connectivity port expansion. Ninkear has now brought the same design to a more affordable system, the Mbox 6. It sports the same magnetic base design that allows the installation of an additional SSD.
Just like the expansion base of the Mbox 8 Pro, the modular base of this one offers additional connectivity ports. While the mini PC itself has two USB-C ports, the magnetic base adds:
- 2x USB 3.0
- 2x USB 2.0
- 1x DisplayPort
- 1x HDMI
- 2x RJ45 Ethernet ports
- 1x headphone and microphone combo port
For wireless connectivity, the Ninkear Mbox 6 has WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. Under the hood, this modular mini PC packs the Ryzen 5 6600H, which is a decently capable APU from AMD's Cezanne line with the Radeon RX Vega 7. It's a notable downgrade from the Ryzen 7 8845HS that's inside the Mbox 8 Pro, but this lower-end APU is basically the reason why this system is cheaper.
This Zen 3 APU is paired with 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512 GB PCIe 3.0 SSD (2 TB SanDisk SSD Plus curr. $112.99 on Amazon). The company also notes that the Mbox 6 has an advanced cooling system that Ninkear claims to be capable of keeping the system cool even during heavy loads.
Other highlights of this modular mini PC include a lightweight and compact build, support for triple-screen output, and a sleek design. The Ninkear Mbox 6 is available on AliExpress in one configuration, and it currently costs $440.54 on AliExpress.
