You should throw in some case options that are low-key. I reckon you'd sell a good amount more. Lots of people don't want RGB and glass…

They are great value for money, but they're also not great. For your average person you could probably buy this and you're set for the next…

For 11th gen that would be stuff like the i3's, Pentium and Celeron stuff. Especially the two core processors.

Pretty good. Nothing fancy, but ticks all the boxes for being a completely serviceable and usable laptop. Usually at this price you get…

Decided to try and compare this to a SFF setup for homelabbing. I'm going to use a 5825u based system for comparison. Very different…

The Ryzen 3550H has twice the threads and outperforms both the N processors for any multithreaded workloads. The N processors are much…

Yes, the one thing it has going for it is that it's a Thinkpad and not the regular consumer stuff. Still, an L series isn't exactly great.…

Concur. 8gb doesn't cut it at all, even at a budget. That CPU is bottom of the barrel as well. Luckily you don't need to spend more to get…

5825U is like three times as fast. Way more capable processor and supports several times more RAM. Not sure how important transcoding is…

Yeah sure, I've seen a few people install stuff in prodesks to get some 2.5gbps ports, but the big kicker on these Minisforum devices is…

Second hand Steelcase Leap. I have an Aeron, it's good but I got it over a decade ago for $300. At $2000 it's obscene, if I bought a chair…

There are of course lots of other systems that can give you more compute for the money. GMK has the 8250u based mini pcs that you can get…

I take back what I said, I got some of these Tegels tenders and I think they're better than the Aldi ones not much competition. The Aldi…

Yeah, they're excellent... for frozen supermarket tenders. Maybe the best along with the Aldi ones. But people saying it's as good or even…

That's very good compared to all the other frozen chicken tenders you get at the supermarkets.

If the shape is what you're looking for the Keychron M7 and Mchose G7 both have essentially the same shape, wireless and significantly…

There's more benefits than just that. They're communicative when something goes wrong, they're communicative when maintenance is planned,…

It's a great mouse but it's wired. Also with how good Chinese mice are these days you may want to consider them. VXE R1, VXE Mad R, Scyrox…

True, don't mind the price but the wait time people are seeing should be a concern for new customers.

I'd rather use just about any of the current crop of budget Chinese mice than this. I'd far prefer a simple $25 Attack Shark X3 than a 100g…

At retail it's a huge ripoff, at this price it's decent. But even at $60 there are lighter mice that track as well or even better. G305 is…

Agreed, the Intel N CPUs are way underpowered compared to Ryzen. Great for some applications but not comparable. 5825u is probably the way…

I'd be all over this if it came in a case I liked more. Something small and without clear panels in particular like the Lian Li x Dan A3.

Sure, that's why I said "There's an argument for the N100 for quicksync but for everything else the 5825u is 3-4x faster in multi threaded…

Recently did a bunch of research on a homelab upgrade and my conclusion was the 5825u CPUs are a gem for homelab use. They absolutely SIP…

Seems like a great choice for a homelab. The things that are usually cons aren't an issue for labbing. Things like being barebones and…

Welcome aboard!
