Nice, very nice!

How do you like your NPB7? That's a model I looked at and considered. Most of my mini-PCs are that brand, and mostly AMD Ryzen chips, my only Intel chip is lesser than yours and bought recently on a big sale. Recently branched out into some other brands but have yet to fire them up. Hopefully will next month when more free time.

Am curious if you do anything with yours where it runs flat out for extended periods and if there are any overheating issues? I know it varies by model and chip. That seems to be the main downside to a lot of these mini-PCs that punch above their weight for the size, so to speak. Minisforum might be slightly ahead of the pack in solutions but it's a fundamental problem to all of them and that's one of the tradeoffs to be considered in the smaller form factor.

My thinking on 96GB Ram is my main laptops have had 64GB of DDR4 for years. Never had a PC with DDR5, so if it still costs a decent premium to DDR4 I might as well go all out, max out, and see what the fuss is all about. ;-) Not opposed to the 64GB DDR5 configuration as well. I just wish there were still more laptops that had four ram slots... seems like there's fewer and fewer each year. Like cellphones and replaceable batteries last decade.
