The MOREFINE M6 (2024) is an ultra-compact mini PC built on the Intel N200, a four-core, four-thread Alder Lake-N chip with Intel UHD graphics. It covers everyday tasks such as web browsing, office work, and 4K video playback at very low power, and reviewers found the stock 6-watt power limit holds the chip back until you raise it in the BIOS. Both builds carry 16GB of soldered LPDDR5 and a second M.2 slot (NVMe or SATA) alongside the boot drive, which is either 256GB or 512GB. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, Intel 2.5 gigabit Ethernet, and one USB-C with DisplayPort (the other USB-C is for charging only) for dual 4K output.

Two storage slots in a 0.75-inch case, with memory fixed at 16GB

At just 5.91 x 3.01 x 0.75 inches, the M6 is small enough to pocket or mount behind a monitor on its included VESA bracket, which suits a tight or cable-tidy desk. The N200 has four cores and no hyper-threading; it handles everyday work and 4K playback well, and the 16GB of LPDDR5 is soldered, so plan your capacity at purchase.

For ports it has a USB-C input for power, a second USB-C with display output, HDMI 2.0, and three USB 3.2 (5Gbps) Type-A ports, plus Intel 2.5 gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. The dual M.2 slots are easy to reach for a storage upgrade. Quiet running is the default, and pushing the power limit higher for more speed raises temperatures: Robtech measured throttling near 98C at about 30W.

Reviewer Insights

The M6 reviewed here runs Intel’s Processor N200, a four-core, four-thread Alder Lake-N chip with no hyper-threading. PassMark currently lists the N200 at a CPU Mark of roughly 4,590 with a single-thread rating near 1,760 (cpubenchmark.net), which by 2026 leaves it at the entry level of the mini PC stack, well below the Ryzen and Core-class chips in pricier boxes. The three reviews below tested that N200 configuration, not the AMD-powered Morefine machines.

At Morefine’s default power setting, Robtech measured the M6 trailing the fastest N100 he had on hand by almost ten percent in single-core, and clocked its stock multi-core score about 26% below that same best-N100 result. Raising the power limit in the BIOS (he forced roughly 30 watts) closed the gap and lifted integrated graphics sharply, including a 33% jump in one DirectX 11 test, but it cost heat, and he saw the CPU hit 98 degrees Celsius under a multi-core load with the higher limit, “definitely thermal throttling,” whereas at stock he thrashed it for 15 minutes without throttling. The bundled NVMe drive runs at PCIe Gen 3 x2 speeds because the N200 has few PCIe lanes to spare, though Robtech argues the random 4K performance that actually matters for a snappy desktop is unaffected. He also could not find any fan-speed control in the BIOS. Fan noise stayed “consistently low” at either power level. His verdict: “It’s a really cool form factor, and it’s quiet, but you get lower performance with the MOREFINE M6 than you would with a bigger mini,” and for more speed in a still-small chassis he steers readers to the Morefine M8s N100.

ETA PRIME raised the M6’s TDP from its 6-watt default to 15 watts in the BIOS and then benchmarked it. Geekbench 6 returned 1,284 single-core and 3,456 multi-core, and 3DMark Night Raid scored 5,546 overall, both modest but ahead of the 15-watt N100 he compared against. Even pushed to 15 watts the box stayed frugal, drawing about 4 watts at idle, 8 watts during 4K YouTube, and 13 watts in games at the wall, peaking near 19 watts, with CPU temperatures sitting in the high 50s to high 60s Celsius. He saw roughly 60 fps in Hades at 1080p and Skyrim at 900p on low, with GameCube, PS2, and PSP titles mostly holding 60 fps at 720p. He called the fan “not loud at all, it’s not screaming,” and advised, “If you want to do any kind of gaming or emulation on this machine, taking that TDP up from the BIOS is the way to go,” concluding it was “not a bad little system with that N200 and that wattage jump.”

BasicDadTech benchmarked the M6 without flagging any BIOS power change, and his scores land where the stock 6-watt limit would predict. Geekbench 6 came in at 1,064 single-core and 2,074 multi-core, well under ETA PRIME’s 15-watt multi-core figure. He recorded CPU temperatures of roughly 70 to 78 degrees Celsius while forcing Fortnite to run, where the game stuttered between about 14 and 30 fps, though he still found “the fact that this could even run this game is kind of impressive … considering the size of this PC.” Emulation fared far better. PlayStation, Dreamcast, and arcade titles held near 60 fps, and only PS2’s heaviest games bogged down, with God of War 2 looking “laggy, almost like it’s in slow motion.” He concluded that “the Morefine M6 is a great compact, budget-friendly PC that can handle everyday tasks and media consumption. Not really for gaming but you can double this as a nice emulation PC.”

Customer Reviews

The MOREFINE M6 has just a single rating on Amazon, and it averages 1 star. One rating is far too small a sample for a verdict, and the review on record is a verified purchase reporting a hardware fault. Ed L., a verified buyer, bought the M6 to replace an aging Intel N5105 mini PC and “was surprised to find it much slower.” He also wrote that after the first boot and Windows updates, “the USB-C display stopped working,” leaving only HDMI output, and rated the unit 1 star with the title “Disappointed in this mini-PC.”

One report is not an owner consensus, and nothing else has been posted to weigh it against. Anyone planning to run a display off the USB-C port should still read that account before buying.

A pocket-sized Windows box that needs a BIOS visit

The MOREFINE M6 (2024) suits buyers who want the smallest, quietest, lowest-power Windows machine they can get for everyday work and light emulation, and who value the dual M.2 slots and the pocketable case. Spending a few minutes raising the TDP in the BIOS buys a useful speed bump for casual gaming and emulation.

It is the wrong machine for modern gaming, resource-heavy applications, or anyone who wants user-upgradeable memory or fan-speed control, since the RAM is soldered and the BIOS has no fan curve. To compare other options, see Starry Hope’s Mini PC Comparison Chart.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the RAM in the MOREFINE M6 be upgraded?

No. The memory is soldered to the motherboard, so the 16 gigabytes of LPDDR5 it ships with is what you keep.

What storage expansion options does the M6 have?

Two M.2 slots, one NVMe and the other NVMe or SATA, so a second drive can go in alongside the one it ships with.

Does the M6 support dual 4K displays?

Yes. HDMI 2.0 drives one 4K screen and the second Type-C port carries display output for the other.

What operating system comes pre-installed?

Windows 11 Pro ships pre-installed on the drive.

Is the M6 fanless?

No. A fan handles cooling, and the BIOS offers no speed control for it.

Can I mount the M6 to the back of a monitor?

Yes, it is VESA mount compatible, and the monitor mount and screws come in the box.

What wireless connectivity does the M6 offer?

Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are both built in, covering the network and any wireless keyboard, mouse, or headset.

Does the M6 have an Ethernet port?

Yes, a single Intel 2.5 gigabit LAN port handles wired networking.

What’s included in the box?

The mini PC, an HDMI cord, mounting screws, a monitor mount, and a USB-C power supply.

Is the M6 suitable for gaming or high-performance tasks?

It is built for everyday tasks like web browsing, office work, and 4K video playback. Light gaming and emulation work better once the TDP is raised in the BIOS, but demanding modern games are beyond the N200 and its integrated Intel UHD graphics.
