On sale is the successor to the SOYO M2 Plus 2 featuring several upgrades. It comes with the newer Intel N150 CPU, two USB-C ports with video output and Power Delivery input that allows the mini PC to be powered via USB-C instead of the DC jack, as well as both WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. These low power Intel mini PCs are an excellent choice for use as a media centre PC, especially when using software like Plex where the codec and decoding support really shines with the N150.

Featuring Windows 11 Pro, an Intel N150 4 core, 4 thread CPU, Intel UHD Graphics, 16GB DDR4 SODIMM RAM, 512GB M.2 SSD (M.2 2280 NVMe + 2242 slots), 2x USB-C with video out & 12V PD input, 2x HDMI ports w/ 4K@60Hz support, 3x USB 3.1 5Gbps ports, 1x USB 2.0 port, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, 3.5mm audio jack and fan cooling. You'll find that the BIOS is very customisable too.

    How can we be sure it can be powered over USB-C? The post says "Power Delivery input that allows the mini PC to be powered via USB-C instead of the DC jack" but I can't see any confirmation of that on the linked page.

      googling for the answer helps. Answered in the affirmative in this video review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiyJ1W_9ClY
      or just try it when you have one. My Chuwi Larkbox X 2023 n100 mini PC does not mention anywhere it supports usb c power, but that's how I've been using it for the past year.. I think I used the barrel jack once.

    • netsurfer on 21/03/2025 - 08:56

      Customer review comments in this deal also indicated one of the USB-C port supports USB-PD to power the device. However, one of those comments indicated:

      There are two Type-C, one power and one monitor output.

      Does that imply you cannot have a single cable that powers the PC and also provides display output? i.e. Even if you have a USB-C monitor, you can't use single cable to power it, provide display and use the USB downstream ports on the monitor?

    There are various third party sellers of this M4 Pro on AliExpress for various prices higher than this link. They all seem to have the AliExpress guarantee of refund for non-delivery. But are there risks with buying from some of these 'non-official' resellers?

    • Clear on 21/03/2025 - 14:12

      " This product can't be shipped to your address."

      Yeah this means it's out of stock. They may add further stock later.

    This vs Nvidia Shield Pro as a Plex client? (not server). Looking for something to plug into a new tv.

    • gizmomelb on 21/03/2025 - 21:55

      why not download the plex client for the tv and run the app on the tv?

      cons of mini PC for video client - no dolby vision support, no native HDMI CEC (can be worked around with usb/HDMI dongle), may not have apps for various legal streaming services for 4K video output.
      pros of mini PC for video client - KODI etc. run super snappy, can run video upscaler on the mini pc if you don't want the TV handling upscaling, can run emulators up to PS2/WiiU/Gamecube x2 resolution.

    • gizmomelb on 21/03/2025 - 21:59

      as I've posted multiple times.. I've been using an n100 based mini PC for over a year for daily web browsing, 1440p youtube video watching, email, torrenting, usenet and o365 app usage instead of my gaming desktop which uses something like 20x the wattage. We use NUCs at work but are testing N100 mini PCs as replacements.

    I have a DS920+ with my Plex server and media. Would separating the Plex server onto a machine like this improve my experience or not worth the money?

    • McMaferMur on 22/03/2025 - 12:18

      why you dislike your currect plex experience? if none then nothing to improve

    • DigitalAnalog on 22/03/2025 - 16:46

      It would improve the Plex experience for sure, but whether that's worth the price is up to you. It can do other things that your Synology can't do and that might add to the value proposition too.

      • xtommyk on 22/03/2025 - 18:31

        What else can it do?

          dockers (arrs suite), VM, email server, etc etc

          • gizmomelb on 22/03/2025 - 20:57

            @McMaferMur: I'm running DSM 7.2 with an emulated Synology SA6400m with SHR, HEVC put back into the synology ecosystem (after they removed it) and other stuff.. with Jellyfin video streaming, Jeelyseer video request system, the arr's suite and a few other dockers (16GB RAM total, generally 8GB in use). At some stage I'll set up tailscale vpn and maybe nginx reverse proxy for ease of use/better security. I could probably run opnsense firewall and Home Assistant on the NAS (which has an intel n5095 CPU - with less processor power than an intel n100) as CPU usage is generally less than 10%

  • Dollar Dreamer on 22/03/2025 - 12:07

    DDR5 would have been a killer to get at this price. There are reviews of the older N100 with DDR5 beating N150's with DDR4. (At least in benchmarks, not so sure in real use if it makes any difference).

    • jlogic on 22/03/2025 - 12:55

      I don't think people are using these PCs to be running stuff at the absolute limits.

      Most folks get this to run low powered applications and aim to keep the power usage of the system to as low as possible.

      I know I am going to be using this to learn how to utilise Proxmox, Docker and Jellyfin. Trying to migrate away from paid software.

    • gizmomelb on 22/03/2025 - 20:53

      look at the benchmarks, it's literally down to single digit differences with geekbench in most cases. The point of getting a mini PC like these are to do low processor tasks like email, web browseing, youtube playback, maybe some coding etc. If you need more CPU power for rendering, audio DSP emulation etc. then get a mini PC based on the AMD CPUs as they have a much higher processor and GPU capability (and about 2x-5X the cost as well).

  • bonezAU on 22/03/2025 - 14:38

      Searching for "firewall mini PC" on AliExpress gives you plenty of results with the Topton/Kingnovy ones popular. You can get the Intel N100 and other variants with four Intel LAN ports. If you want something smaller there's these kind of small Mini PCs with 4 LAN too, but they're double the price.

      • Dollar Dreamer on 22/03/2025 - 21:09

        I don't understand why people will want to buy a $150 mini pc to be a firewall? Don't firewalls come on Routers supplied by your ISP? Also a 2nd Firewall on your PC? Am I missing something here?

        • Clear on 22/03/2025 - 21:24
          +1

          ISP routers are usually basic and the 'firewall' functionality is mostly the same, while Windows Firewall protects individual PCs at the software level. The advantage of having a dedicated firewall appliance is that you're protecting the whole network and that gives you greater visibility and control. Some people like to run pfSense or PiHole.

    This is frustrating - followed recommendations to do a clean OS install and now lots of devices are not recognised by Windows due to missing drivers, including Audio and WiFi devices. Does anyone have a back up of all default drivers they could share?

    My SOYO PC came in today. Did a clean install of Win11 and now barely any of the drivers are installed. Does anyone have this issue and if you can know where the drivers can be downloaded from?

  • Binggggo on 02/04/2025 - 07:58

    As an update, I found my Dell WD19TB dock doesn't seem to offer 12v over USB-C, so it can't power the M4 Pro. If I power it separately (either from the supplied barrel adaptor, or a USB-C charger that does do 12V), the other USB-C does provide video fine.

  • stonecold on 07/04/2025 - 08:15

    Has anyone been able to install Ubuntu LTS 24.04 and have the WiFi and Bluetooth drivers work successfully? Seems like the Realtek drivers in this version are dodgy.

    Alternatively what have people done in terms sof setting up a Jellyfin server with this unit?

    Looking like I will have to go back to Windows and somehow find all the drivers again. 🥹

  • stonecold on 09/04/2025 - 21:51

    If anyone has a Plex server working on this device could you please tell me your set up.
    I reinstalled windows, got all the drivers through CCleaner and Intel Support Assistant. System randomly crashes (sometimes BSOD, sometimes black screen) from anywhere between a few minutes after boot to maybe 30 minutes.
    All I have installed is CCleaner, Nord VPN, QBitorrent and Plex.

    I tried several Linux distros too without much luck. Crashing/freezing, lag, no sound, no WiFi or BT.

    Any help much appreciated. 🙏

    • gizmomelb on 09/04/2025 - 22:19

      try linux mint, once installed go to the software updater and install a newer Kernel than 6.8 (6.11 seems to be the working kernel for Intel n100 igpu and proxmox at least - because the newer kernel recognises the n150 cpu correctly). I don't have this specific mini PC - as requested multiple times, what is the wifi module please - is it RTL8821CE?

      also ubuntu LTS now supports up to linux kernel 6.14 - https://9to5linux.com/you-can-now-install-linux-kernel-6-14-…

      • stonecold on 10/04/2025 - 12:06

        Thanks,

        I tried Ubuntu with kernal 6.14 which did not work. Perhaps could try LM again with 6.11 kernal. Last time audio did not work and was lagging.

        Wifi is Realtek 8852BE.

        Windows is giving the following error BSOD.
        VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE
        igdkmdn64.sys

        Seems like an Intel driver problem.
        Any ideas which one works with the machine and the Intel Update tool with the current version appears to have broken things.

          at absolute worst, if you really need wifi and bluetooth maybe it's worth the $20-30 and just buy a replacement intel wifi card with known driver support? when I originally bought my larkbox x 2023 intel n100 mini pc there was poor support for the intel AX201 wifi card, but it did get better eventually (I don't use wifi and barely use the bluetooth so it wasn't so much an issue for me).

  • stonecold on 13/04/2025 - 20:21

    I have done clean install of Windows and no matter what I try with different intel graphics drivers I get BSOD. Happens randomly, not on start up.

    I formatted my installation of Windows 11 and now I can't find the drivers for the audio device, amongst other things. Can any one provide a link or copy to the drivers? Installed the latest Intel chipset drivers and Realtek drivers, and still can't get audio working from the headphone jack.
