$30 cheaper than last posted deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/778555
Beelink mini PC's look a bit better for features but this seems a good price for dual lan (1000mbps) and N100. Is cheaper than aliexpress offerings and much faster shipping.
CamelCamelCamel.
I think around double GPU performance in games, CPU around 25% faster with around half the power draw.
EDIT: Seems more like 39% according to passmark.
Is this fanless?
The video suggests that there is a fan inside exhausting through one of the sides.
Is this any cheaper to run than a raspberry pi?
I have a pi with dietpi installed as a 24*7 Nas.. But I would much rather run a Windows machine with a GUI for the convenience of debugging issues than googling every small issue and hoping it would work.
The only thing holding me back is I have been under the notion that mini PCs are a lot more expensive to run day to day. Could someone please confirm!
Also have to consider the increased read write speeds you'd be achieving upgrading to a PC. The pi would likely be capped around 100mbit (take some…) with the limited IO. Unsure how the Pi4 is but there was no around it with earlier models.
I had the same opinion when I first started with a PI. Eventually you want to do more, end up paying again for another machine, so the (slightly) added costs of running a PC you thought you were saving with the PI ends up in a draw
A brief look it this chip is rated at 6W so very similar to a Pi4
Thanks all for your comments.
What I am hearing then is that this can definitely replace the pi for an operating cost perspective.
Trying my luck here but it can't do plex hardware transcoding with these specs, can it?
So good except for the single USB 3 port. 3x USB 2.0 on a 2023 machine? Weird.
Especially when paired with DDR5.
I've seen AMD's for same price with a USB3.2/DP port but DDR4.
No ports on the back it not ideal either. I tend to plug in at least one external HDD using these as a home server.
Still, good price.
Price was good.
Should've picked one up for my Dad since I was pairing it with a
Philips 328P6V 32" that's got a 4-port USB 3.0 hub.
There are a few options on aliexpress like this that are similar in price, just going to take a while to ship. This might be something workable? (swap to the n100 8gb) https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005005562917371.html
$20 7-port USB 3 hub let's you connect a whole bunch of external drives and turn this into a NAS 👌
Expired? I don't see a coupon.
Yes, looks like has expired. No coupon anymore on the page.
Now a $60 coupon so it's $269
This is back in stock at $229 after the $80 coupon. Can someone confirm if the Ram is upgradable or soldered? and does it support NVMe or just m.2 SATA? the description is lacking.
How is the N100 vs something like the NUC Essential Celeron N5105?
