780m at this price. Don’t settle for less.

I’d look for a 7840hs or higher in that range.

Price mistakes are no picnic.

Instructions wicked unclear… oh well I guess I didn’t need those people in my life anyway.

The Reatan Oculink A8 at $549 is a pretty good price, still available.

Unless I'm mistaken, you're describing a captive portal, which this can handle fine and is unaffected by EAP protocol limitations.

Yes you can and yes it will, especially if you load a VPN profile onto it.

Equally important is the GMKTec is the eth port is only 1g vs. 2.5g on the AOOstar which is an important future-proofing detail.

Good price, this is brings it on par with Aliexpress pricing.

N150 chip and ddr5 ram. The AOOstar is better unless you need the full 16gb of ram.

This fits firmly in the category of "Data Travel Sim". What this product does is give you an e-sim that will automatically connect to the…

I'm a fanboy. FYI, I would mention in the subject or description that this is only for first time purchases. I got excited and then…

I've messed with a number of travel sim providers. Roamless is my primary now, I don't even bother going elsewhere.

Many travel sims give you a limited time to use your credit / data and then it expires. Roamless let's you keep a bank or credit…

New users only?

I'd be curious what skylake iteration you have that performs as well as an n150 at the same TDP.

It's a great alternative. These things sip power. This N150 chip should idle around 10W. If power consumption is your goal, you're better…
