This deal is back, and now cheaper by 3 cents. Should be great for a Plex/Kodi/Jellyfin HTPC.
Beelink MINI-S12 Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel Alder Lake-N95 Processor (up to 3.40GHz) Wi-11 Pro Mini Computer, 16GB RAM 500GB SSD Business Mini Desktop PC, Dual HDMI/WiFi 5/BT 4.2/RJ45/WOL/Auto Power On.
CamelCamelCamel.
there are other mini PCs using the Intel N100 chipset which have USB-C as a third video output. I don't have a compatible monitor to test but my CHUWI LArkbox x 2023 has USB-C (which I use to power it instead of the barrel jack psu).
EDIT: just spotted this is an Intel N95 chipset.. you can find them as cheap as around $150 AUD or so if I remember correctly.. go for the Intel N100 as it performs substantially better/faster and mini pcs using n100 can easily be found on amazon for $200-250 AUD
is N95 the outdated one?
Yep it is. This is a crap deal, better to get the Beelink S12 Pro for $265.16 — you get the N100 chip plus WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2:

Maybe its not apple to apple, but whats the equivalent of N100 to i7, 8th generation for example, or 10th gen or even lower/higher?

Seems pretty much neck and neck with an i5-6500, another 4 core part from 8 years ago.
@JerraJones: i picked up an asus PN60 https://www.asus.com/displays-desktops/mini-pcs/pn-series/mi… they go alright… got a few beelinks for ping nodes but honestly you can feel the cheap build quality :P

They're almost identical processors from the same generation, I'm not really sure why Beelink used different wifi chipsets though.
Cheaper alternative? - Mini PC, Intel 12th Processor N100(up to 3.4GHz) 16G RAM 500G SSD, TRIGKEY Business Mini Desktop Computer,Dual HDMI/WiFi6/BT5.2/100M LAN/, Green G4 Mini desktops $233.30 with $18 off coupon code
yup.. makes a good emulation box (use batocera o/s / front-end). Easily handles up to Wii U, majority of PS2 upscaled to 1080p and 2D switch emulation at 1080p as well. will get slowdowns with heavy 3D games which I won't LINK to, just in case.
What controllers would you pair with this for emulation?
I've been eyeing off this one for weeks. It didn't come down much during these sales though. It could always be had for $259 before
Always this price, no deal
Got the kamrui version for $135.
?
Waiting for my time travel machine from Temu, then I'll get this too. Or that $69 one the other day.
How does a used gen 7 optiplex compare?
16GB RAM must make it better than the M2 MacBook Air
Something like this with usbc display out at this price point would be amazing!
