Review: Better than expected - This unit replaced an Intel NUC 13 Pro that had an issue and ASUS (who took over from Intel) really screwed up the repair (I'll never buy from ASUS ever again). Originally, I had bought Intel since I hoped for reliability and good service and was skeptical of the various Chinese brands/models that make up the majority of the mini PC market. So, this time around I decided to give someone else a try and, after reading lots of online reviews and forum postings, I settled on MinisForum. I debated the NAB9, NAD9 and MS-01. I'm not a gamer and wanted to stick with Intel, even though AMD gets all the praise for their better graphics. I teach I.T. industry certifications (A+N+S+) and need a system that can run up to 4 virtual machines (VMs) like Linux, Windows Server, etc. I also wanted one with various features that I could demonstrate during my online classes (throttling, overclocking, multicore, hyperthreading, etc.). I already had a Samsung 980 SSD (2 TB M.2 NVMe) that I planned to put into the system and so I purchased the barebones kit and installed the SSD and RAM myself (also wanting to see just how easy it would be as this would give me a chance to look inside of the unit). It was a breeze... 32GBx2 SODIMMs (G.Skill) and the Samsung SSD installed in just a couple of minutes. I debated adding an active fan cooler heatsink to the SSD since MinisForum usually uses one when they provide the SSD. However, I ended up just using the passive heatsink that came with the NAB9. If you do plan to add a fan, then make note of the mini connector power plug on the motherboard (it is not the larger 3 pin connector found on many motherboards). Since my SSD already was fully loaded with Win10 Pro and my data, etc. I knew I might need to reinstall the OS since the drivers, etc. would not match those of the MinisForum motherboard and hardware. But I was happy to see that almost all of the drivers (Intel ARC, Intel wired NIC, audio, etc.) did match. This is because the NUC Pro and MinisForum are both based on Intel chipset. The only 2 drivers that gave me problems were the Bluetooth and WiFi NIC. For some reason, MinisForum uses MediaTek instead of Intel for these. Their website is a bit confusing since it only shows the AMD MediaTek drivers, but they seem to work just fine with the Intel 12900HK CPU. After verifying everything was working correctly in Device Manager, HWinfo, etc. I started doing some real work and kept a close eye on the internal temps. Since I'm not a gamer, I don't get overly excited about all the benchmarks (Cinebench, CrystalDiskMark, et.al). I do look at these scores when comparing performance reports online, but I mainly just want to know how something is going to perform doing the things I do in the real world. I am happy to say that so far, the MinisForum NAB9 is doing great. I did push the SSD temp up to around 50C at one point under repeated heavy load but normally it sits right at 45C. And at one point yesterday I pushed the CPU into the 70s C range but today it is running in the 45-55C range with a high temp of 66C. Remember that I'm not a gamer so these numbers are more "real world" for me with a few apps and a VM or two running. If I ever really push this thing into the 70s or 80s for the CPU it would be very rare and unusual and I'm fine if it has to throttle back a little. I'm tested the WiFi, and all seemed good, but I normally run most of my network wired for security, etc. The two built-in NICs (2.5 Gbps) seem to work well and my SpeedTest results are to be expected with my 1 Gbps switch ports and current cable provider ISP service. But at least I have faster NICs should I need them in the future. So, the bottom line is that the NAB9 seems to be a solid performer that could easily manage the workload for many types of buyers. Gamers may look for something faster but if you just want a solid system that should last you several years then this may be the answer. Oh, and the fan is really quiet, which I like since this sits right in front of me as I'm teaching and talking into a webcam microphone, etc. And I did get the 3-year warranty from desertcart "just to play it safe" since I was taking a gamble on a Chinese system. I figure that IF I ever do need any kind of service then it can't be any worse than my experience with ASUS and the Intel NUC 13 Pro... never again ASUS!!! MinisForum, please don't let me don't and you'll have a customer for years to come!!!
Review: Wow What a NUC! - Great processor and cooling, perfect for Windows, Linux, or Proxmox. Everything works well right out of the box. Well, since I got a barebones unit, I did have to install the memory and SSD, but that was easy! It stays cool under load without being loud. Note: I don't do gaming - I have read that AMD has better gaming graphics than Intel, but that doesn't matter to me. It does a fine job of transcoding multiple video streams in real time, and that's the most intense GPU work that I need. Yes I recommend this for anyone wanting a tiny home server, or a modern desktop computer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good design, pretty nice cooling system. Powerfull processor as well.

Item MINISFORUM UN1290 Mini PC 12th Gen Core i9-12900HK arrives promptly. Setup was relatively easy and almost painless. Of all additional devices (third party) only HP printer is connected. The problem started when I installed the Chrome browser. Noticed running lines like a sea waves on the screen. I checked the display configuration and, to my surprise, I saw much lower settings compared to those indicated in the technical documentation: the screen resolution was 1920 instead of 3840, and the height was half as much. Reconnected the display to my original PC and see the expected size, no disturbances on the screen. So it is definitely a problem with the video card or the processor itself of this computer. I decided to work on this toy. After an hour of work, a headache and eye pain forced me to step away from the computer. Contacted tech support on their site and email, provided on the support page for this model, with the description of the problem - no response at all for over 20 hours. Working for all that time (almost over 20 hours) - the temperature of the box remained almost steady and low, and I could barely hear the sound of the cooling system or sense any vibration from this box. Have no choice but to buy a new computer of a different type and return this toy back to Amazon. Updates as of 12/10/2025 While playing with this toy discovered that it actually works best not on computer monitors (sizes 19 to 32 inches) but on big screen TVs. Connected to my old LG TV 55 inches, and - no problem for over a week. It allows for max resolution, and on top of that, allows personal adjustment for resolution as well. It turns out that it was not a video card problem, but rather low (way below the capacity of the card) resolution on the display side. Vivid colors, no disturbances or distortions. I would not consider using that thing as a computer because of the display size, but as a movie player - going to keep it. Will save money on a smart TV, which I was planning to buy anyway.
