Not long ago Xiaomi released a mini console. As a result, during Double Twelve, products from the mini console brand Zero Moment dominated the list. Speaking of which, Lingji Company has been focusing on the design and production of mini consoles for many years, and the price/performance ratio has always been very high. The Zero Moment SER6 I am using recently is quite good, priced at less than 3,000, but it is equipped with a hardware combination of AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor, 16G DDR5 4800MHz memory, PCle Gen4.0 solid state drive , and it also supports WiFi 6 wireless network, equipped with USB4 Type-C interface, and supports three-screen differential display, etc. Although it is an integrated core display, I used Master Lu to test the running score. The overall score is as high as 970,000, and the performance is quite good. If you don’t pursue brand belief and pursue real cost-effectiveness, then I think the Zero Moment mini console is really much better than the Xiaomi model. Next, I will talk to you about the design, configuration, performance and actual experience of Zero Moment SER6. Maybe it is just the computer host you just need.
Zero Moment SER6 adopts a new packaging design. The red and black packaging box gives a more radical visual impact. Because it is equipped with AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor, the "6" is cleverly highlighted as a design element in the middle of the box, and the processor model and core display GPU are clearly marked.
Let’s start with a family photo of Lengji SER6: mini host, 120W power adapter manufactured by Huntkey , power cord, one long and one short HDMI cable, metal wall bracket, screw bag, product manual including warranty card and a red replacement panel. Regarding the warranty, the manufacturer provides a three-year warranty period for the entire machine, so that consumers can buy it with confidence.
Zero SER6 has a relatively simple and elegant appearance. Although it is a traditional square shape, the four corners of the black body are curved. A black fabric panel is added to the top, and the brand LOGO is embossed directly on the body in the lower right corner. Its body shell is made of a combination of plastic material + metal bottom shell, and is treated with ABS high-gloss technology. It looks quite high-end without any sense of cheapness.
The biggest advantage of a mini host is its compact size, and the same is true for the Zero-Kick SER6. Its body size is only 126 x 113 x 42mm, which takes up less space and can be placed more freely. If work requires it, it is not burdensome to take the machine with you.
I personally like the design of the replaceable panel on the top of the fuselage. This panel is made of breathable and waterproof splash-covered fabric. Its addition greatly improves the overall appearance and class.
The panel is also very simple to disassemble, you can pry it off from the lower left corner. The manufacturer also gave away a red replacement panel. I think the combination of the black body and the red panel looks better, making the originally cold desktop decoration "warm" all of a sudden.
Although the SER6 body is small, the interface configuration is as adequate as possible. On the front side of the fuselage, there are clear CMOS holes, 2 USB 3.0 interfaces, 1 USB4 interface, 1 3.5mm headphone jack with built-in microphone and power button. It is very impressive that a mini host at this price can be equipped with a USB4 interface. Compared with previous versions of USB, its transmission speed exceeds 20Gbps, and it also supports 4K video display. The back side of the
fuselage is equipped with 1 USB3.2 Gen2 interface, 1 USB2.0 interface, 1 .5Gbps bandwidth rate network port, 2 HDMI video output interfaces and DC power supply jack. The HDMI interface supports 4K 60Hz video output, and with the front USB4 interface, three-screen display can be easily achieved. For most people, these interfaces can already meet their daily needs. In addition, Lingji SER6 also supports Bluetooth .2 and WiFi 6 network technology, and the configuration is relatively mainstream.
In terms of heat dissipation, Lingji SER6 has also put a lot of effort into it. First of all, it has large-area metal heat dissipation nets on both sides of the fuselage. Secondly, there are silent fans and radiators inside the fuselage specially designed to cool the CPU. Next, there is a system fan specially designed to dissipate heat for the memory, hard drive and motherboard.
When you disassemble the top panel and the metal bottom case, you can see the two cooling fans , especially the large-sized fan on the top, which can ensure a larger air intake and timely send the internal heat of the fuselage out from the air outlets on both sides.
I turned on the SER6 and kept working for more than ten hours. I used the professional temperature measuring gun to measure the temperature. I found that there was no problem of heating on the surface of the fuselage. It can be seen that its heat dissipation effect is still in place. The body does not get hot, which can better protect the internal hardware and allow the computer system to run more smoothly and stably.
At present, SER6 is available in 16G/500G and barebone versions. I would prefer to recommend that you choose the former, which is equipped with two Yingruida DDR5 4800MHz 8GB dual-channel memory and a 500G Kingston SNV2S PCle 4.0 solid-state drive.
Of course, the specific choice depends on personal needs. If you don’t like to fiddle, it is easier to just buy the one with a memory hard drive. After all, the memory hard drives equipped with SER6 are from big brands and are of reliable quality. Moreover, SER6 will also have a pre-installed computer system when this version leaves the factory.
If you feel that the 500G hard drive is not enough, don’t worry, because the SER6 also reserves a 2.5-inch SATA HDD slot, which can be installed with SSD solid state drive or a 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive (thickness no more than 7mm), so you can easily expand the storage space.
Zooji SER6 is equipped with AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor, which uses the new "ZEN3+" architecture, 6nm process technology , has 6 cores and 12 threads, a main frequency of 3.3GHz, a core frequency of up to 4.5GHz, 16MB level 3 cache, integrated AMD Radeom 660M core display, TDP reaches 45W.
AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor is positioned in the mid-range, and its performance is actually not weak. In addition, the SER6 uses big-brand DDR5 memory and PCle 4.0 solid-state drives, so it still achieved a comprehensive performance score of 970,000 in Master Lu’s hardware evaluation. As a mini console with a price of just over 2,000 yuan, its performance can reach the upper-middle level, which is quite impressive.
Zengji SER6 is equipped with the Kingston PCle 4.0 solid-state drive with good performance. Its reading and writing speeds are very fast. AS SSD Benchmark was used to test the speed of the solid-state drive. The highest reading speed reached 3045MB/s and the writing speed reached 2124MB/s. Both the computer boot time and the software opening speed are very fast, greatly reducing the user's waiting time.
Finally, let’s talk about my personal actual experience. Zero moment SER6 can fully meet the needs of daily office use. I opened all Office 2021 Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and other documents, and also opened multiple web pages in the background. It can be said that it is a piece of cake to deal with these office software with the performance of zero moment SER6. Applications are opened in seconds, and surfing the Internet is also very smooth.
Some people may think that office software are just small programs, so for image and video editing software, including design software such as Adobe family portrait, SER6 can handle it without any pressure. I mostly use the video editing software and on a daily basis. Although the file size of the application itself is not large, if you select multiple 4K videos as material and add multiple tracks, it will still test the performance of the machine. Nowadays, it is much easier to use Lingji SER6 to make Douyin videos. You don’t have to worry about the computer getting stuck during the editing process, and you don’t have to worry about waiting for a long time to export a longer video.
In addition to working and surfing the Internet, my biggest entertainment is watching movies. For this reason, I bought a 4K resolution monitor so that I can feast my eyes. Thanks to the excellent core graphics performance of the AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor equipped with Zero Moment SER6, it can not only smoothly play 4K high-definition videos in various formats, but also perfectly support 8K videos.
To be honest, I don’t play many games. Everyone says that " Genshin Impact " requires very high configuration. If "Genshin Impact" can be played, most other games will be no problem. For this reason, I installed this game to try it out. When selecting 4K resolution and high image quality, its average frame rate is generally 20-30FPS. The picture is not very smooth, but there is no obvious lag; when switching to 1080P resolution and high image quality, its average frame rate rises to 50-60FPS, and the smoothness of the picture is greatly improved. Obviously, game enthusiasts will definitely not be interested in this kind of core-display host. Otherwise, with the core-display performance of Zero Moment SER6, most games can still be played and it will be no problem to meet the needs of ordinary gamers.
Finally, what I want to say is that the era of mini hosts has arrived. With the continuous development of technology, it is no longer synonymous with low configuration, poor heat dissipation, and weak performance. Instead, people will see mini hosts. The various conveniences brought by mobile phones to life are just like the Zero Moment SER6 shared with you in this article. Whether it is appearance design, process materials, hardware configuration and performance experience, it shows us that the strength of a "small guy" can also be leveraged, especially USB4, WiFi 6 is also done in one step. In fact, if you spend more than 2,000 yuan to assemble a desktop console, the performance it can achieve is equivalent to that of the Zero moment SER6. I believe that as long as they are not gamers, most people will still prefer a mini console like the Zero moment SER6. What do you think?
