    Long timer lurker here.
    Created account just to post here.

    Bought this Dell micro PC here from this seller; the 9500T version (lower powered) one.
    The micro PC died after exactly 2-years of use. Warranty only cover 1 year.
    Now cannot start the PC at all and keeps blinking orange light.

    Checked many youtube videos for troubleshooting. Known issues could be dead coin battery, faulty RAM/ PSU/ motherboard.
    Did battery change, clear CMOS and re-seat RAM; issue persists.
    Haven't proceeded to replace RAM or PSU yet, not sure if well worth the effort and cost.

    Now, not sure if worth it to send back to this seller to get it fixed or just buy another one again.
    Anyway, this item is now out-of-stock. Seems to be dead end for me now.

    • AeymothSky on 09/06/2025 - 21:19

      Have you contacted them ?

      • Anone80 on 09/06/2025 - 21:36

        Just drop them an email and let's see if it can be fixed.
        Thanks for the recommendation.

        • AeymothSky on 09/06/2025 - 21:37

          Yeah!

          Hopefully something works out!

          Even if it's outta warranty period ya know, it's worth contacting still.

    • motion2082 on 09/06/2025 - 21:55

      Had the same experience with 3x Dell 7050s, not from this seller though. Common fault with Dells

    • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 09/06/2025 - 22:09

      Have you tried a single stick of the ram? One of the modules may have died

    • slackme on 10/06/2025 - 11:06

      Try to unplug the power cord for at least 10 minutes and try again. It could be the power supplier problem. It happened to me.

  • AeymothSky on 09/06/2025 - 21:23

    Found my purchase of refurbished tech from stores/company over the years the one i don't regret is buying one of these with a i5-8500T.

    The laptops i regret as their condition was always mid and significant drop off in battery life./health.

    Since these have no batteries, 90% of the time ideally no issues !

  • dontpanic on 09/06/2025 - 21:51

        • pinkybrain on 10/06/2025 - 18:11

          is T version better?

          • impoze on 10/06/2025 - 18:22

            @pinkybrain: Depends on your use case

            T has low power consumption which is ideal for 24/7 build, where as the regular has higher Base and boost clock for higher performance.

              @impoze: what sort of performance difference in games and apps could see (e.g. 10 to 20 %?)

              from what I read,
              the T model also has smaller heat sink so can throttle earlier,
              is that correct?

              • impoze on 10/06/2025 - 18:31

                @pinkybrain: If you are going for games then definitely get the 9500

                They will restock

    I have purchased and it is already on it's way to me.

    What do I have to do to be able to upgrade the hard drive in this one. Want to be able to make it 512gb. Can I leave the original SSD in there and just add another one or do I have to copy the OS from the original drive to a new drive then install that drive.

    Would this ssd be suitable?

      You can leave the 256gb nvme as boot and install that 2.5" drive on top.

      It has the blue caddy insidd to mount it.

      That one is compatible. You will need to get a sata and power cable for it.

    how does the i5-9500 compare to the i5-9500T if you powerlimit it to 35W?

    is that a thing? a bios setting like one of those eco modes?

    • impoze on 11/06/2025 - 10:04

      if you want to limit it to 35W, why not just get the 9500T to start with.

  • donkey33 on 11/06/2025 - 12:26

    Anyone know how the 9500/9500T compares to a 13th gen Intel N-150?

      Here’s a detailed comparison of Intel Core i5-9500, Intel Core i5-9500T, and Intel Processor N150:

      Release Date Q2 2019 Q2 2019 Q4 2024
      Performance

      • Intel Core i5-9500:This is a standard desktop CPU with strong multi-core performance, suitable for office tasks, light content creation, and general computing. It significantly outperforms the N150 in both single- and multi-threaded workloads, with about a 78% higher aggregate performance score

      • Intel Core i5-9500T: This is a low-power ("T" series) variant of the i5-9500, with lower base and boost clocks and a much lower TDP (35W vs. 65W). It is about 22% slower than the i5-9500 in aggregate performance but is designed for energy efficiency and quiet operation

      • Intel Processor N150: This is a modern, ultra-low-power chip designed for budget laptops and mini PCs. It has only 4 cores and 4 threads, a lower TDP (10W), and much lower overall performance than the i5-9500 or even the i5-9500T. However, it is much more energy-efficient and is built on a newer process node

      Use Cases
      • i5-9500: Best for desktops where performance is the priority.
      • i5-9500T: Ideal for compact, quiet, or energy-efficient desktops.
      • N150: Best for ultra-low-power devices like mini PCs, thin clients, or entry-level laptops where battery life and efficiency are more important than raw performance.

      Summary Table

      CPU Best For Performance Power Efficiency
      i5-9500 General desktop, multitasking High Moderate
      i5-9500T Quiet/energy-efficient desktop Medium High
      N150 Budget/mini PCs, thin clients Low Very High

      Conclusion

      • Choose i5-9500 for the best performance in a desktop.
      • Choose i5-9500T for a quieter, more energy-efficient desktop.
      • Choose N150 for ultra-low-power, compact, or portable devices.
