I don’t know what everyone thinks about the recent release of Xiaomi mini console. In fact, to be honest, Xiaomi’s mini console was revealed on the Internet. Some digital bloggers posted reviews and found that Xiaomi’s mini console actually took the internal design of Intel NUC Wall Street Canyon intact and replaced it with a shell. We will not comment much on this matter. However, from the side, Xiaomi has indeed made the mini console product category known to more people. However, with the same configuration, Xiaomi host has almost no advantages, whether it is in terms of cost performance or product workmanship. In fact, in the field of mini-hosts, the best-performing foreign brands currently on the market are Intel NUC, and domestic brands such as Lingji mini-hosts.
The reason why Xiaomi host does not have any advantages in the mini host product is that I personally think it is mainly because Xiaomi is making a mini host for the first time, so it does not have its own product line and is not mature in all aspects. Therefore, we found that after the Xiaomi host came out, the price was set very high, and there was only one version of Intel's i5-1240P to choose from. The previously highly requested version of the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H processor has disappeared. In fact, Lingji has made a very rich product line in its own product line. In the past few years, it has been mainly sold in overseas markets, so it has accumulated many fans abroad. In China, although it only started to be officially promoted this year, we can see that the reputation of the mini computer on the Internet has been established in such a short period of time, and many people turned to buy the mini computer from the Xiaomi host conference. It is indeed an interesting phenomenon. I also bought this mini computer for the first time. It launched the Ryzen 7 6800H processor version of the zodiac SER6 Pro mini host.
To be honest, if you have paid attention to recent AMD processors, you will find that computers equipped with AMD Ryzen sixth-generation processors are very popular among users. This is mainly because of this processor upgrades the Zen3+ architecture, and in terms of the GPU core, it abandons vega and changes to Navi2 based on the RDNA2 architecture. The process technology will be upgraded to TSMC 6nm, which directly leads to the nuclear display Radeon is equipped with. The performance of 680M has soared, almost reaching the level of desktop independent graphics card GTX 1050Ti. Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine that is not only limited to mini computers, but also includes thin and light notebooks and even micro handheld computers. With the support of AMD Ryzen 6th generation processors, the overall performance has been raised to a very high level.
Under the general introduction, the overall appearance of the SER6 Pro has changed a lot compared to the previous generation. The most direct difference is that the top cover of the fuselage has been replaced with a breathable cloth top cover that supports user replacement, which adds a lot of DIY fun to the mini host. The official comes with two color cloth top covers, namely grid black and Chinese red. Top covers of different colors should be launched in the future. The advantage of this design is that it gives me the feeling that when I replace the top cover of the computer, it feels like the entire host has been replaced with a new one.
still uses a dark green metal body design, with a size of 126*113*42mm, a volume of 0.6L, and a net weight of 512g. The size and weight of this body are even lighter than a smartphone, and can be easily carried in a trouser pocket. The edges of the entire fuselage are cut with bright metal and are square and square. This appearance is in line with the aesthetics of engineering men. In addition, Lingji comes with a wall-mounting bracket as always. You can hang the host behind the monitor for daily use, but I personally think it is not necessary. After all, it does not take up much space and it looks good on the desktop. At the same time, it also comes with two HDMI high-definition cables of different lengths. The short high-definition cable is specially used for wall-mounted installation. Lingji is very considerate for users. In terms of
interfaces, on the front of the fuselage, there are CMOS reset holes, 2 USB 3.0, 1 Type-C interface and a 3.5mm headset interface. The red button on the far right is the power button.It is worth mentioning that this C port is a USB4 interface, which is equivalent to Intel's Thunderbolt 3 interface. This means that this host has more hidden features, such as being able to connect an external monitor, an external graphics card dock, a one-line connection to a portable monitor, etc.
has a
is also equipped with a cooling air outlet on the back of the fuselage, and large-channel air inlets on both sides of the fuselage, which can ensure better heat dissipation of the host during operation.
Speaking of heat dissipation, many people are actually concerned about how such a compact host can ensure a heat dissipation system comparable to that of a desktop computer. First of all, the U of the Zero Moment mini host is the same mobile CPU as the notebook. Because the body is thicker (compared to the notebook), it has more advantages than the notebook in terms of heat dissipation, and this Zero Moment SER6 In terms of active cooling, PRO uses a new cooling fan bracket, system fan and SSD radiator. You can see that SER6 PRO has a cooling bracket on the top of the fuselage, which is mainly used for active cooling of memory, hard drives and motherboards. In addition, with a large number of heat dissipation holes densely covered in the fuselage, this high-performance R7 can be guaranteed 6800H has better heat dissipation, so it can perform stably and efficiently under high load.
Next we will disassemble the machine. It is not difficult to disassemble the machine. Just unscrew the four screws on the bottom metal cover. Unscrew the metal bottom cover. You can see that the internal design of the machine is very neat. It is worthy of being a fan. The old brand of your host machine has its own unique design, and I found that in terms of accessories, it also uses accessories from big brands. For example, the memory uses two 16G DDR5-4800MHz memory of Yingruida, which is used to form a dual channel, and the hard drive is also a hard PCIe from the big manufacturer Yingruida. 4.0 The NVMe protocol hard drive has a size of 2280 and a capacity of 512GB. This host also supports the expansion of 2.5-inch hard drives. You can install additional hard drives to increase the capacity later.
mini computer is the same as an ordinary desktop computer before it is turned on. It needs a special monitor, keyboard and mouse before it can be used. Because the USB4 interface of SER6 PRO supports one-line connection to an external portable monitor, I plan to use it with a portable monitor. On the one hand, the overall desktop is more concise. On the other hand, it comes standard with the win11 professional version system, which can support the Android subsystem. It will be more convenient to use the touch screen to play Android applications later.
As for the keyboard, I used Duga’s classic K610W wireless mechanical keyboard. I suggest that when you are equipping your computer with peripherals, especially peripherals such as keyboards and monitors, don’t be too frugal. Buying better ones can really improve the computer experience a lot. The Duga K610w white light version wireless keyboard I bought is , a high-end three-mode wireless keyboard , which supports three connection methods: 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and Type-C wired.
switches are Kaihua's Turbo series switches. I chose the tea switch . I personally like the feel of the tea switch. I think the tea switch of the Kaihua Turbo series has a better feel. I even think this tea switch is a fever-reducing switch for me. The sound is very small and the trigger speed is also fast, which is especially suitable for typing. The feeling of typing is really comfortable. In addition, the white light adds a good atmosphere to the entire keyboard. There is no such flashy RGB, and the light white light is good.
keycaps are PBT double-color injection keycaps, which are wear-resistant and non-oiling. They are the standard configuration of the better mechanical keyboard . The battery life is very good. In 2.4G mode, it can be used for 200 days. The Bluetooth mode is specially designed with low-power Bluetooth, and the battery life can reach up to one year. With such a set of mini host, wireless keyboard, and portable screen, doesn't the entire desktop look much simpler and fresher?
Turn it on and ask an entertainment guru to check out the specific configuration. The SER6 PRO is equipped with AMD's Ryzen R7-6800H processor. TDP has a power consumption of 45 watts. The graphics card is AMD Radeon 680M, which is currently the most powerful core display. The default video memory capacity is 3GB, and the BIOS can be adjusted to a maximum of 8GB. In terms of storage, it is marked with two DDR5 4800 frequency 16GB memories and a Kingston 500G M.2 NVME solid-state drive. The wireless network card supports WiFi6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
Master Lu’s running score can easily reach the million level. The CPU running score is 584,000, the graphics card running score is over 117,000, the memory is 176,000, and the hard disk is 182,000. This running score is very powerful.
In the CrystalDiskMark test, the sequential read and write speeds were 4772.59MB/s and 1978.28MB/s respectively, and the 4K random read and write speeds were 57.48MB/s and 246.74MB/s. The overall performance was very good, but the capacity was slightly smaller, only 512GB.
However, SER6 PRO supports solid-state drive with a maximum reading speed of 7000MB/s. At present, there are many 2TB solid-state drives on the market in terms of capacity. This time I specifically chose Jinbaida's PCIe4.0 solid-state drive with a capacity of 2TB. I am going to remove the original 512GB solid-state drive and use the Jinbaida KP260. Install the solid state drive of .
Upgrading the solid state drive is actually quite simple. When the power is off, just remove the original solid state drive and install the new solid state drive. Upgrade the solid state drive of the M.2 drive The hard drive is suitable for users who need large capacity to play games and make videos. Of course, you can also install a SATA hard drive. However, the speed of SATA disk can only reach 500MB/s at most. Therefore, it is worth the trouble to upgrade to Jinbaida's
Because we have replaced the system disk of the computer, after replacing the hard disk, we still need to reinstall the system of the Zero moment SER6 PRO. Prepare the system USB disk, insert it, and it will be installed automatically at boot. After installation, boot into the system, you can see that the hard disk capacity has been upgraded from 512GB to 2TB.
measured the speed through CrystalDiskMark. The sequential read and write speeds of this gold Baida KP260 2TB solid-state drive are 5000MB/s and 4500MB/s respectively. It has better read and write performance than the original Kingston hard drive, and the capacity is quadrupled. Under normal circumstances, the 2TB capacity is enough for me. In terms of
memory, in the AIDA 64 memory read and write test, the memory reading speed reached 51628MB/s, the writing speed was 55352MB/s, the copying speed was 50961MB/s, and the delay was 89.2ns. It can be seen that the DDR5 4800 memory equipped with the SER6 PRO has far exceeded the previous generation of DDR4 memory in terms of bandwidth.
In the CPU-Z test, you can see the AMD R9-6900HX processor, with a single-core performance score of 596.-7 points and a multi-core performance of 5142.5 points. Judging from the running scores, the SER6 PRO's adjustment of this AMD processor is also very good, and the release of single-core and multi-core performance is very good.
Next, let’s talk about the key point. How powerful is this newly upgraded AMD Radeon 680M core display? AMD Radeon 680M is equipped with AMD's latest FSR 2.0 and RSR 2.0 technology. This technology can increase the frame rate by 50%-100% when trying to play large 3A masterpieces without increasing power consumption. We have actually tested several large-scale 3A games. After adjusting the image quality to a low resolution of 1280*800 and turning on the FSR function, almost all the latest 3A games can be played smoothly, and the frame rate can be stabilized above 45 frames.The performance of this core display is really outstanding, and it has indeed reached the level of the independent graphics card 1050ti in theory. But then again, if you want to play 3A smoothly with high definition and high image quality, it is recommended to buy an independent graphics card dock and connect it externally through the USB4 interface, which will make playing more enjoyable. But looking back, the performance of AMD Radeon 680M is worthy of the title of the most powerful core display currently.
At the same time, the author specially tested the heat dissipation of the host. After trying out "God of War " for more than an hour, the body temperature of SER6 PRO was 37.5℃ and the air outlet was 40℃. The overall heat dissipation performance of the fuselage is good, and there is no overheating.
Finally, let’s summarize. To be honest, at present, the SER6 PRO is probably the most worth-buying AMD processor mini-host. Judging from the current overall market sales, the market feedback for this 6800H core thin and light notebook is very good. As a mini-host, thanks to the AMD Radeon 680M core display with the new RDNA 2 architecture of , the performance of the core display is already comparable to that of the independent graphics card GTX Comparable to 1050Ti, has completely changed the old impression that mini computers have insufficient core graphics performance.
In addition, this time the SER6 PRO is equipped with a USB4.0 interface that supports 40Gbps for playability and comprehensive performance. It not only supports one-line connection to the monitor, but also supports external independent graphics cards, allowing AMD's core to compete with Intel, with almost no shortcomings. As for why you choose a mini host instead of a traditional desktop, to be honest, if it were you, wouldn't you want to make your desktop smaller? Taken together, for now, I have not found any shortcomings in this original SER6 PRO mini host, and I highly recommend it.
