mini PCs on special again (after doing the old 'increase the price, then offer a discount' move - but the lowest price previously was $679 - now it's $530)

after some people complained that the Intel N100 chipset based mini PCs for $230 'werent powerful enough' (even though I use one daily for my email/web/o365 and MS Teams workhorse) maybe this Intel I7-12560H CPU (10 cores, 16 threads) with 32GB DDR4 RAM and 512GB SSD will be enough for them. Geekbench score is single core 1715/ multi 8392, DOTA 2 supposedly runs at 90+ fps.

Listed price is $979 (other I7-12560H based mini PCs on Amazon are around the $700-800 mark) but click the 'apply coupon' button and you'll get it for $530.

this is a similar Intel i7-1650H based mini PC tested for gaming at 1080p - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlD9V0wWSMw

and another similar review video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD1y70MQ2Do

the Kamrui AD08 also seems to be known as the NiPoGi overseas - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1-TWcAQfds

supports up to 64GB DDR4 RAM, has a PCI Gen3 NVME and SATA SSD slots.

If you're after a cheaper system then the N100 based mini PCs are $230 again after clicking the 'apply coupon' discount button.

not affiliated, I just like lower energy consuming devices that are also cheap (and stay away from raspberry pi 5 for emulation boxes guys.. they cost nearly the same as an intel n100 mini pc once you add in power supply, case, SSD and you're limited to 8GB maximum. Get a proper x86_64 based pc and run emulators for 3DS, PS2, PS3, Wii U, Switch, Gamecube etc.) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mwgH9xY6WE

    That's a good price especially with the RAM and SSD included. For example the Ryzen 7735HS barebones version on AliExpress would set you back US$398.27 (~A$605ish). The 5700U/5800U variants not much cheaper either.

    • whyisave on 23/01/2024 - 00:43

      You don't know what type of RAM and SSD is included, though.

      Getting barebones PC and choosing own RAM and SSD is better,
      but it won't be as cheap as how these companies do it (eg. Beelink, Minisforum, Kamrui, etc.)

        While true the i7 blows all 3 of those CPUs out of the water, except for the 5800U graphics. Let's hope it's dual and not single 32GB RAM.

        It's not the same one though. I can link dozens of better different ones. This Kamrui has a few distinctive features like being able to set the power level of the CPU with a turn of a knob.

          i wouldn't bank on configurable firmware on these cheap mini pcs

          the biggest motherboard manufacturers often launch with crippled and broken firmware and constantly patch fixes until EOF

          best you can hope for is that it performs as expected - you are going to end up disappointed, especially when you break the hardware after running an pre-configured aggressive profile

        • desync on 25/01/2024 - 13:02

          btw the ram is too slow on the 780m model, needs to be 5600mhz otherwise you are leaving 10 - 20% of performance on the table

          you can pickup a 7840u s500+ with 6400mhz for $600 from morefine offical website

          my bad - you were quoting a 680m cpu, not the zen 4 - another bad deal imho

    • gizmomelb on 22/01/2024 - 18:07

      no, it uses the Intel build in APU - same as most mini PCs, they don't have the space for a discrete graphics card (most of the mini PCs are - mini sized! Mine is 12cm x 12cm x 5cm tall). If you want a small PC which can also fit a discrete GPU then you're looking at possibly a mini-ITX sized case / motherboard and that will cost a lot more than this mini PC without a slot for GPU (though I cannot find if the USB-C supports connecting an eGPU in it's own case or not - it does support 4K video output for a third display though).

      If you want a mini PC with space for a GPU then you may need to wait for something like the Deskmeet X600 - which you need to add in your own cpu, ram and storage - the previous model the deskmeet x300 was around $400 barebones - https://www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMeet%20B660%20Series…

        It lists games with resolution and fps - no it's not going to run AAA titles at ultra resolution and ray tracing enabled but very few gamers actually have rigs that high end to do so. There are more casual games than hardcore gamer, must yout gatekeep gaming because it doesn't suit your definition of what a gaming rig should be? Hard core gamers would be well aware what they're getting for a $500 system vs a $3000+ system with RTX etc. SMH.

    Would recommend people look at Intel 13th gen Mini-PC or AMD Ryzen 7000-8000 series instead, for USB 4.0 to then be able to use a dGPU over Thunderbolt.

    • gizmomelb on 22/01/2024 - 18:28
      +4

      This has USB 4 also. IMO if people are wanting to game and the solution is buy a dGPU case AND a GPU to go in it, they really should have bought a proper desktop in the first place.

      • KARMAAA on 22/01/2024 - 18:50

          ahh you're right, I mistook the AM08 (AMD CPU) for the AD08 (Intel CPU) and the AM08 has the USB 4 port (and I cannot edit the original post as it has been replied to).

    • Telios on 22/01/2024 - 18:45

      I mean not sure a dGPU is much value when CPU and RAM will probably bottleneck you first.

        I mean at least you have the option with USB 4.0. Sure buy a proper PC for gaming, but USB 4.0 is just better than USB 3.2 objectively.

        An actual enclosure? Yeah, they're expensive. I have seen just the PCB as a dock on AliExpress for like $100 and a separate case for like $50. Or you can buy one of these for about $185. Not cheap but I suppose thats true of any eGPU solution because they're niche.

    • gizmomelb on 22/01/2024 - 18:12

      it's in the specs - "2 HDMI 2.0 ports and 1 Type-C port (4K@60GHz), you can connect 3 displays at the same time, perfect for multitasking, saving time and increasing productivity." you will not be able to game at 4K resolution and fast refreshes - this is not a gaming PC. It should handle media playback more than easy enough though and would be able to game or emulate at 1080p resolution pretty well though.

      Theoretically HDMI 2.0 ports support 4K video at 60 Hz, 1440p at 144hz and 1080p at 240hz, but I don't have one so cannot confirm.

      For when you don't want to be squinting at a 14-15" laptop monitor? my mini pc (not this one) is mounted behind the 27" monitor, with webcam, mouse and keyboard connected so I have a 'proper' sit down working space.

      Isn't having options and choice a wonderful thing? :)

      • congo on 22/01/2024 - 18:32

        Yeah, but you can also connect the laptop to external monitor.

        • gizmomelb on 22/01/2024 - 18:50
          +1

          true.. but the laptop will take up more space (usually). I used to have a dual monitor setup at work with a lenovo M720q mini PC installed behind one of the monitors.. worked fine for a year like that.. again just had a keyboard, mouse, wireless headset (for the phone) and the monitors on my desk. Work then decreed everyone should have a laptop.. so went to monitors, keyboard, mouse, dock, laptop stand and laptop being on my desk. I lost space, not gained it. Laptop didn't leave the stand for 2 years after that. And the laptop was slower than the mini PC I had previously (and over heated).

          As I said, it's up to personal choice.. there will be options where a laptop is subjectively better, there will be options where a mini pc is subjectively better.

          • congo on 22/01/2024 - 19:05

            @gizmomelb: Thanks. I guess you can use a wireless keyboard and mouse and mount this on the back of the screen, it would have a clean look.
            With the laptop, you can pay more and get one with dedicated GPU and it perform better for gaming.

            Initially I was thinking you can place this in living room, mount a external drive and use it for Plex.

            • gizmomelb on 22/01/2024 - 19:10

              @congo: oh this would work with plex for sure - but honestly the N100 Intel based mini PCs will also work fine with Plex (and transcoding) and they are less than half the cost. I've been using my N100 for KODI media centre on the loungeroom tv for a while and it works really well - the one failing point for me is it doesn't support HDMI-CEC so I need to use another remote control to control KODI interface, rather than the one remote control which controls my TV, surround sound etc. through HDMI-CEC. First world problem I know.

        • Telios on 22/01/2024 - 18:51

    • gizmomelb on 22/01/2024 - 19:17

      is noisy in gaming mode (34DB+), but as low as 20DB when in quiet mode. Since the sides come off easily (held on by magnets) you could always take them off to allow better circulation I'm guessing. My N100 is usually totally silent (fan ramps up a bit for a minute or so when it finshes downloading something and then auto-unzips the file and moves them to the NAS for me).

      Most of them can be powered from 12V DC so they are good for caravans and camper vans too.

        I replaced my main desktop with a mini PC - handles O365, MS Teams / webcam and general work from home quite happily and uses bugger all power (about 1/10th over what my desktop would use). Also is good for overnight useet downloads / torrents and basically silent.

    I Legit thought that had a flashlight on top and was hoping it would and will be pretty cool

      there was a mini PC I saw today (probably news from CES) where it has a small tv screen built into the side of the case and it displays system info like CPU temp, CPU load, memory usage etc. etc. I love that geeky stuff.
