Pros & Cons
Pros
Great for home computing/theatre pc and light gaming. Runs productivity apps like 365 and video exceptionally well.
The b550 was packaged well and came with a case for storage of when traveling. Well built, shipped quickly, surprisingly well equipped for adding a 2.
The minis forum pc runs windows 11. It has 16gb of ram and a 2. Tb 2. Ssd hard drive. Gb ssd is very quick so computer boots very quickly.
Everything works out of the box on linux. However plugging into monitor which goes over hdmi they work. Adding a usb sound headphone works.
Quite noisy at start up, but settles down to running quietly almost immediately. Slight fan noise but small form factor is easy to tuck away if that bothers you. Nothing to distract from the overall great quality of this remarkable unit.
Cons
Blue tooth drops, wifi drops, the system freezes. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling radeon. Machine crashes with no support from minisforum.
Only one of the usb-c ports in the front is usb4/tb. At this point it is unusable as the computer is completely unstable. Going back to standard hd (not ssd), and better support. But one fatal issue is you have to rely on the main pcie ssd only.

Adjusting fan curves in the bios can help tame the noise created by the fan but the fan noise can be impossible to defeat completely
