No, you're just being disingenous. If they don't need 8GB/256GB, then they don't need to pay $1.3K+ for a laptop.

This miniPC at $145 is better value for money. 16GB ram, 512GB SSD and an iGPU that's very capable at transcoding.

I don't understand why people keep saying the N100 can't do 4K. It absolutely can play and transcode 4K easily.
