Compact desktop for office and home

The NINGMEI Mini PC combines an Intel Pentium Gold 6500Y processor with 12 GB of DDR3 memory and a 256 GB M.2 NVMe SSD. It runs Windows 11 Home and handles document editing, spreadsheets, web browsing and video streaming in a footprint of 120.5 x 120.5 x 24.5 mm. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 615 drives 4K display output for dual-screen productivity.

Fanless thermal design and low power draw

The 5 W processor operates without active cooling, so the system runs silently during typical office workloads. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 provide stable wireless connectivity for peripherals and network access. A single RJ45 LAN port adds wired reliability where needed. Power consumption stays modest under normal use.

Memory fixed at 12 GB DDR3

The single memory slot is populated to the maximum supported capacity of 12 GB and no slots remain free for upgrades. Buyers who need more than 12 GB of system memory must choose a different platform. Storage uses a SATA-spec M.2 drive, so NVMe replacement modules are not compatible.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 256 GB M.2 SATA SSD in the 120.5 x 120.5 x 24.5 mm chassis, and what step is often missed?

Open the case, insert the M.2 SATA drive into the slot at a shallow angle, then secure it with the tiny retention screw; the step often missed is confirming the keying matches SATA not NVMe before applying force.

What maintenance or replacement will the 12 GB DDR3 memory need later?

The single DDR3 slot is already filled to the 12 GB maximum, so no further memory upgrades are possible; only future maintenance is keeping the ventilation openings clear of dust.

At what point does the Pentium Gold 6500Y hit its sustained-use limit?

Under continuous load the CPU will throttle from its 3.4 GHz turbo back toward the 1.1 GHz base once the passive cooling reaches thermal equilibrium.
