Mini PC

Wasted performance! Minisforum's Venus series offers a lot of power in the smallest of footprints. We have already put the top model, aka the UM690, through its paces. Now we turn to the UM560 XT which is equipped with the Ryzen 5 5600H. Our review reveals how well the system fares. However, one thing is already clear: In terms of price and performance, the Minisforum Venus Series UM560 XT leads the pack.

Quiet throughout! We were already able to take a look at the top-of-the-range Morefine M600 with an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX - now, it is time to look at the M600 with an AMD Ryzen 5 6600U, which is also part of AMD's Rembrandt series. In this review, you can take a look at how well the mid-range SoC did in our tests and whether this model is worth buying.

Well cooled is half done! Minisforum have extended their Venus series portfolio with the release of the sleek mini PC NAB6. Based on an Intel Core i7-12650H, the NAB6 is well-prepared for many different uses. Its price is okay, but a few compromises will likely have to be made. Which compromises these are exactly will be discussed in our detailed review.

NUC but quiet! The Geekom Mini IT12 is an interesting alternative to the well-known Intel NUC models. The Taiwanese manufacturer has chosen a mobile Intel Alder Lake SoC. In this review, we took a closer look at what this mini PC can deliver, and whether it can live up to the class leader, Intel. Thanks to its Thunderbolt port, we were also able to take a look at its gaming performance using an external GPU.

Small and silent! PCs don't always have to be big and bulky. Many mini PCs we have tested previously have proven this. The Higole PC Stick's manufacturer has taken this a step further by managing to fit the whole of the PC's hardware into a case reminiscent of an oversized USB stick. We took a closer look at the device and what its Intel Celeron J4125 is capable of.

Just buy the older 2022 model. Don't be fooled by the fresh 7000 series name as this is very much a 6000 series processor. The Zen 3+ Ryzen 7 7735HS is still powerful especially when it comes to integrated graphics, but it offers essentially nothing over the less expensive Ryzen 7 6800H or older Ryzen 9 6900HS.

Memory monster! The ACEMagician ACE-CK10-8259U is a small office PC based on a native 4-core processor. However, its processor is still part of the Coffee Lake generation, which wouldn't necessarily be the first choice for new devices anymore. Nevertheless, the manufacturer has provided this model with enough performance potential for everyday use. We put the ACEMagician ACE-CK10-8259U through its paces, and this review will show you everything the SoC can do.

Intel's product refresh. Intel’s Raptor Lake has already superseded Alder Lake in the company's desktop CPU line-up, offering more performance across the board. Raptor Lake mobile CPUs are now following suit, and Intel is also updating its mini-PC range. We took an in-depth look at the latest Arena Canyon NUC featuring a Core i7-1360P. In this review, we’ll discuss what this mini-PC can do and what useful feature are on board.

Good everyday device! The Morefine M600, which has an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, is based on AMD's up-to-date Rembrandt SoC. We took a closer look at the model and compared its performance to its competitors, which in part feature similar hardware. The winner of the race can be found out by reading this detailed review, which features a range of benchmarks and measurements.

Overloaded quickly? Intel's NUC11 Essential Kit is based on an Intel Jasper Lake SoC and is perfect for office work. We took a closer look at the mini PC with an Intel Pentium Silver N6005 and Intel Celeron N4505. In this review, you can read about what both systems have to offer.

Thunderbolt 4 in a tiny bottle. The Intel NUC 12 Pro Kit is a tiny but powerful mini PC. Its powerful 12th-Gen Alder Lake Core i5-1240P offers great computing power, although graphics performance is lacking. Like it's bigger brother, perhaps its greatest strength is its excellent port selection, which includes two Thunderbolt 4 ports.

Gaming without AMD and Nvidia? We have put the Intel NUC 12 Enthusiast Kit - a compact desktop PC with an up-to-date Alder Lake SoC - to the test. The actual highlight, however, is the Intel Arc A770M - but the test sadly showed a lot of wasted potential with this. Find out more in this review with comprehensive benchmarks and measurements.

When Atom and Celeron don't cut it. The Trigkey Speed S retails for under US$400 complete with Windows 11 Pro, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 512 GB NVMe SSD, and a modern 11th gen Intel Core H-series CPU. It's much faster than the usual Celeron, Atom, or U-series options in the same price range.

A modern SoC for everday office use! The Chinese system manufacturer is marketing a new office mini PC going by the name of NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95. With an Intel Pentium N95, the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 is based on Intel's current Alder Lake N SoC which was first demoed at CES at the beginning of 2023. In our extensive review, find out how well the brand-new SoC performs and how the NiPoGi GK3 Plus N95 negotiates our test course.
