  • Anyone know how the Intel N100 might fair up with simple web browsing?
    Needing something small for my mum's PC. Currently got an old Pentium G4560

    • +1

      Perfectly fine for web browsing.

    • +6

      Perfectly fine for 99% of use cases of a laptop. If you are in the 1%, you would have known what to expect.

    • +1

      My 8GB ram N100 is perfectly fine. The 12GB ram in this one will feel even snappier.

    • I've been using a 12GB N100 mini pc (Chuwi brand) for almost 2 years as a daily webmail, facebook, web browsing, youtube 1440p playback and usenet/torrent downloader. It handles everything very well. When I want to play games I switch on my desktop, which uses more power at idle than what 10 of these mini pcs do.

  • Cheers OP ;)

  • Anyone know of the cheapest one of these at the moment that would support duel monitors either via USB c or HDMI output? :)

    Just need a cheap second office setup PC

    • +4

      both will support triple monitors natively. No need for adapters

  • The AMD version doesnt comes with Windows

    • +1

      Barebones doesn't. Since this has RAM/SSD included Win11 Pro will come preinstalled. I'll add to description.

    • Look up Massgrave on the Microsoft hosted site Github

  • Crazy how cheap these are getting, been using an N100 NAS board to power my NAS and self-hosting for over 12 months and its surprising how capable it is

    • Keen to know how is the setup as NAS

      • +2

        I used an N100 NAS board from Ali Express, it's not the same as this mini PC but contains the same CPU.

      • N100, N150 is plenty if its purely a file server

  • Upgrade from a Raspberry Pi 5? My one struggles with HEVC and AV1 4K content.

    Data is hosted on a separate server which is pretty beefy.

    • has hardware decoding via the IGPU so should be a decent upgrade in that regard

    • +2

      While N100 is great and cost effective, I am not a fan of soldered DDR5. My Chuwi Larkbox X's soldered DDR5 RAM chips went bad after a few months. AliExpress Support's response was since they RAM chips are soldered on, no warranty will be provided. It is basically a door stopper since it crashes regularly (often completely freezes). It fails memory tests every single time.

      • +2

        If you're using Linux and only a subset of RAM is affected, mapping out those regions with badram might let you get a bit more use out of the machine.

        • Too many blocks. Really wished the BIOS has options to adjust the memory frequency.

          Hopefully, for this one, the memory frequency is adjustable.

      • Sheesh what kind of ridiculous excuse is that for dodging responsibility for the warranty!

    • This should handle it no problems. It has the Alder Lake version of Quick Sync Video, so it supports accelerated AV1 decoding.

  • +6

    I may snatch one just to tinker with. To be honest, refurbished Dell Optiplexes and the like should be half of what these much newer PCs are…

    • +8

      couldnt agree more people are charging too much for ex corp 'ewaste' thats like 6-7 gens old…..

    • I'm on the fence about getting a cheapo N100 box for Home Assistant (bare-metal or through Proxmox - which also allows OPNsense), and an 8th gen Dell/Lenovo/HP. The extra horsepower of the latter would be handy for game servers, but they're absurdly expensive.

    • I was thinking of getting an optiplex for a low powered homelab but they are far too expensive for what they are

      • Yeah, if you want to upgrade RAM to 32GB or 64GB, plus add 1 bigger drive, or two drives for RAID1, then that's already 700 or more in all of it… and you have no space to add SATA drives if you want more storage.

        At that point it's just better to build a new PC with new parts for around 1k.

      • +1

        The Dell optiplex on ebay on sale today is a piece of junk compared to the $125 mini pc here!

    • +1

      Yes and my neg vote on the Dell optiplex post was reneged and my comment severely downvoted.

      I left like this forum is run by vested interests.

      Make sure you buy what you need and like.

  • +1

    Any guides to make this couch friendly as a media machine?

    • +1

      Google it?

      Install Proxmox, install a VM, within a VM, install Plex as Docker, etc.

      • Why the VM in the VM?

        • Main reason so can backup the entire VM. I got like 20plus dockers in one VM.

          • @boomramada: just set up proxmox backup to a nas or another shared file server.. then you can create, backup, restore VMs and lxcs whenever you want / restore if you make a mistake.

    • Go to libreelec web site, download ISO image - burn to USB stick. Go into miniPC BIOS and set boot from USB - it will auto load KODI media player.
      Or go to Batocera website, download ISO images, but to internal storage and it'll auto boot into a multi-emulator front end which also has KODI and other media players accessible via joystick or mouse.
      Or do you mean you want to use this as a SERVER and stream media to other devices and/or playback from this PC also?

  • Can someone tell us what we are missing out on if we opt for this versus the N150?

    • +9

      They're essentially the same CPU with the N150 clocked 200MHz higher. The real performance gains are when you're using DDR5 over DDR4.

    • +1

      I believe it's very minimal difference between N100 and N150, would be bigger difference between DDR4 vs DDR5. I think DDR5 N100 beats DDR4 N150 performance.

      • But those with ddr5 usually only 12gb, vs 16gb of ddr4. Ddr5 still win?

        • That's more about multi-task performance, if you need the extra ram just buy a DRR5 sodimm from somewhere else and upgrade it.
          Regular web browsing or a simple NAS server shouldn't need too much.

          • @bobbyob: these are soldered ddr5.

            you cannot upgrade . hence worse deal imo

            • @AeymothSky: Good point I didn't catch that one, that's a big downside if the ram ever fails.
              Not as good of a deal as I thought.

      • Various online memory tests with these mini PCs between DDR4 and DDR5 showed the differences were negligible. You certainly wouldn't use one of these for heavy CPU calculations at any rate. I've been using my DDR5 12GB N100 system though for almost 2 years for daily web browsing, email, youtube (1440p) playback and usenet/torrenting. Never had any problems with it. When I want to do CPU intensive stuff or play games I switch on my desktop.

  • How to get rid of tax?

        Haha
        I thought there was some sort of way to get rid of it since the post title says USD81.38 delivered

          Unless your pre-discount price is US$111ish and then you've been hit by a frustrating AliExpress bug where higher prices are cached for some reason. I run two accounts for this reason.

          • +1

            @Clear: Thanks for the insight. Yeah I might be seeing higher price

    • Claim tax back as this is a work PC?

  • I see the N100 as US $113.82 now, is the deal expired?

    • +5

      That's an AliExpress bug where it shows higher than it should be. I've been in contact with AliExpress about it. From what I can tell my main account with plenty of orders this sale shows US$113, but my secondary account with less orders shows US$83.98 before checkout.

      • Well then, seems I need to make another account 😅
        Thanks,

      • This bug makes me unable to get the deal. US $84.53 not signed in, US $113.82 when signed in.
        Even with a new account. Sad times.

    • I'm getting USD $111.58 😕

  • Bought from the last deal. Great computer, watching 4k YouTube & Netflix is without any problem.

  • Where's the N97 16gb 512gb $120 deal U_U

  • +2

    Thanks OP. Got one. Note that this comes with EU plug. Guess I have to get a converter.

  • What's the power consumption idle and under load?

    • +1

      You can set the TDP to 6W in the BIOS, so it's very power efficient. At idle and running a stripped down version of Linux such as HAOS (Home Assistant OS), you should be able to get between 4-6W of power consumption, once you've turned off all the peripherals/ports that you're not using.

      If you leave it at stock config and you're running Windows, then idle power draw can be as high as 12-20W, so it all depends on how you've configured your machine.

      Under full load, can go north of 30-35W.

  • Any deals on N150 but with two 2.5Gbe ports? The AMD is overkill for my needs.

    • AOOSTAR N1PRO on Amazon is $239 on amazon

      12G DDR5/512GB

  • Just out of curiosity is the n100 capable of running opnsense or pfsense?

    • +1

      Yes, no problem

      I even use realtec nic with Opnsense

    • N100 is considered more power efficient at idle. N150 is marginally more powerful.

  • Images show it has a usb-c port, doesn't sound right at this price.

    • +2

      They're not particularly expensive to implement. Full feature USB-C is becoming standard across the board now for mini PCs. Though, a portion of the discount on this is coming from AliExpress and not the store.

    • +2

      That's because Intel N100 CPU has wiring for TCSS (USB3/DP1.4) so it is just a matter of connecting them to a USB-C port. So the ones without are lazy or cost cutting (so they should be cheaper).

      • Noob question but if this supports power delivery, I assume to devices. Can I use the usb C port as the input for the power supply?

        This only comes with an EU power supply. Rather not use adaptors.

        • +2

          According to Rob, it is powered by USB-C.

          Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylj2LRCIu8A&t=432s

          The listing's video also shows that it is powered by USB-C (so EU plug is not an issue, since you can get a cheap AU USB-C charger easily).

          However, now I am not sure whether that USB-C port is only for power or fully featured (because it has 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort). N100 only supports 3 display outputs according to Intel.

    • +3

      I have one of these units, the cheaper gmktec in OP. I can 100% I can use the USB C port can be used for charging. I ordered another one for my son just earlier from this deal.

  • +1

    Finding the M6 tempting as a replacement for my low-end laptop which I use for everyday tasks effectively as a desktop.

    Anything better than the M6 currently sub-$400?

  • Tempted to make the N100 a dedicated Immich server, anyone have any experience with this? I assume the iGPU would be plentiful for it.

    I’ve got a dell optiplex 7070 running Plex/*arr stack, just want to separate them as I’ve had some issues with immich’s ML/AI features crashing my server.

    • I'm running a jellyfin server with hardware transcoding and it can handles multiple 1080p streams in realtime. Should be more than enough for Immich. Opnsense runs fine as does Home Assistant (just can't run all of them on the one mini PC at once - not enough cores or memory (12GB) for full VM versions).

      • Thanks mate.
        Out of curiosity, do you use an EU->AU adaptor or did you purchase an AU power cord (and if so, which one)?

        • It's a mini-itx motherboard in a DIY system, so uses a normal PC PSU, not a mini PC - but a mini PC would be able to do the same.

  • The Ryzen 6600H looks good. It seems to be faster and cheap than the recent Ryzen 7 5700U? OMG should I get it?

    • Still cant get the Ryzen to deliver

      • Anyone know why it says this? “Unable to deliver to region”

        • From what I have gathered (but cannot confirm for a fact), it means the item is OOS. If true, I cannot fathom what the reason is for misleading customers instead of simply stating that the item is OOS.

    • I managed to buy one but just realised it’s a EU plug..
