        i expect this won't get shipped so fast as well

      This or something else?
      Been waiting 2mth fir a charger. Told me another mth as the factory which makes them is still closed.

      Also got a bunch of AliExpress item still not arrived, they are slow enough normally already with all the travel ban it could take months and months. I stop order from them now, could take awhile to get back to normal.

      Like seriously, commercial freight is effing difficult to get out of China at the moment. No space, airlines are cancelling flights…. rates are skyrocketing. Don't expect your goods any time soon

    Whats this like for a plex server? Upgrading from an old 2012 Mac mini.

    • Laserface on 11/03/2020 - 15:50

      would largely depend on how capable your plex end points are with regards to codec support.

      i run plex server on my Netgear ReadyNAS RN204 which is ARM based. My TV supports h265 and most other common codecs so theres no transcoding required.

      however my Apple TV (non4K) doesnt support h265 natively. this means plex server tries to transcode, which it absolutely did not have the power to do.

      as a plex player itself, it would probably be OK.

      • Kaboda on 11/03/2020 - 17:05

        Might as well get one of those old Dell pcs that usually go cheap for that job.

    • bchliu on 11/03/2020 - 15:56

      Don't bother. Your old Mac will be still be hugely quicker than this if you upgrade it with SSD and more RAM.

        Agree - currently using a 2012 i5 mac mini with 16g RAM and SSD as a home computer. Surprisingly quick for something that old
        RAM upgrade takes 1 minute. SSD upgrade is a bit more complicated but less than 30 mins with the right tools

    • [Deactivated] on 11/03/2020 - 16:06

      I believe the Apollo Lake stuff has hardware h.254 encode support. For 8bit
      https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-intel_celeron_n3450-659

      It was running Plex on a similar hardware (but a j5005 instead of a n3450) it was not a problem, bit I'm not sure if it was doing much h.254 transcoding. It was twiddling its thumbs most of the time (even with sonarr, sabnzbd, minecraft all running there too).

      But as @bchliu says below, you're better off with a refurb lenovo mini PC, there'll definitely have more then enough grunt and you can run a heap more stuff on it

      • dcep on 11/03/2020 - 16:11

        yeah this has quicksync for hw transcoding

        it's still a downgrade at 50% slower than 2012 mac mini w/ i5-3210m

        • Diji1 on 11/03/2020 - 17:43

          I could be wrong but I seem to recall Quicksync is limited to 20Mbit bitrate.

          Probably ample for h265. But I think it only supports h264 which might be a problem for high definition.

    • Nilfunds on 11/03/2020 - 18:34

      upgrading?
      how exactly this is an upgrade? :)P

      but Plex all depends on how many streams/transcodes at same time. for a single client a potato will do just fine

    Honestly you better off buying the refurb Lenovo mini-pc's than this. Runs on essentially an Atom processor, so it will be terrible in performance if you want to do anything decent on it.

    • railspider on 11/03/2020 - 16:57

      I have a couple of laptops with these specs, the CPU is absolutely fine for browsing and basic admin tasks. It'll even play undemanding games or emulation fine.

      For anything more, or for a media PC setup, would definitely recommend those refurbished Dells/Lenovos for the same price and local warranty.

      This does look pretty cool though.

      • bchliu on 11/03/2020 - 18:19

        It's all fine until Windows update kicks in and uses 90% of your CPU to process which updates are required. I've got a couple of similar devices too and say goodbye to usability when the quarterly major update comes out whilst it's trying to download, update in the background.
        Intel really needs to kill off their Atom based series to at least be competitive with the entry AMD APU stuff.

  • LuckyDrew on 11/03/2020 - 16:24

    It's cute. What do people use a little computer like this for?

    • Kill Joy on 11/03/2020 - 16:32

      Very light usage scenarios. In loungeroom for watching movies or streaming video games. Web surfing, emails, etc. Anything not too taxing would work okay.

      Should be able to. But can't guarantee good frame rates especially if it is running a task in the background you might not know about (scan, update etc).

  • kronicmacstigator on 11/03/2020 - 16:58

    I'll be honest… if you are going to punch this thing around wouldn't you be better off just getting a decent android box and a high capacity SD card? Seems like it'd be cheaper…

    • bchliu on 11/03/2020 - 18:25

      You lose the Windows library of software. I love Android but there's probably still stuff on Windows that's not available on Android that you may need.

    Mentions low power usage, then doesn't show any information anywhere on gearbest as to what it uses. I'm guessing under 15w, probably half that. Would be much better if it could be vesa mounted behind a monitor.

      It's not new, and it's not popular enough to be well known.
      This is some cheap tacky pc only available on grey import.
