Every time we have more powerful mini PCs on the market like the Minisforum NAD9 that has little to envy to many PCs in tower format.
A miniPC that stands out in various aspects such as having an aluminium case with good ventilation that we can put vertically and horizontally and its four simultaneous video outputs up to 4K@60fps. The most notable element of the Minisforum NAD9 is its high-performance Intel Core i9-12900H processor, which with its 14 cores will allow us to run any program without problems, be it audio/video editing.
All this in a box with a size of only 23.9 x 21.5 x 15.1 cm and a weight of 2.1 kilograms including the external power supply, which we can also hang behind our monitor thanks to the included VESA anchor.
