    Man its getting confusing which mini PC to buy. Do i get this or the N100 brand new deals going for $180 ish?

    No bloody idea.

    • N100 has way less power consumption

      • Would not say it's way less. The i5 6400t cpu is designed for laptops so it does have a low tdp for the age of the CPU. Tests measure of 10w - 20w idle and max draw of 40w.

        The Intel n100 idle draw is 4w-10w with max draw of 30w.

        You may be able to under volt the i5 even more to get the idle power closer to the n100.

        Most of the bios on the generic Intel n100 mini PC's are extremely limited and your have less flexibility to tweak it.

        A saving of 5watts over 365 days at a tariff of 23cents/kWh is around $10

        Also take note that these cheap mini PC's you get from AliExpress all comes with cheap power supplies. If you want stability and safety I would price in a new power supply that has passed Australian standards. That will set you back $30-$40.

          I have a 6400T based laptop attached to my TV and it's starting to show it's age, struggles with 4K for example. The much more modern iGPU in the newer N100 desktops would blow this out of the water for media consumption but if you're using it for Home Assistant etc these are great

        I have a 8500t desktop running as HAOS and its currently running at 5.2 watts.

    • I tried both for.my Plex server and ended up with this. For some reason my n100 was overheating, could have been a unit issue.

      These are lower in power consumption, probably low as low as the n100.

      Hasn't missed a beat

      • Check the thermal paste and heatsink on the Intel n100. The one I got was poorly installed with way too much crappy thermal paste.

        After a repaste with thermal grizzly paste the idle temps dropped 20 degrees

        what HDD setup do you use for media storage?

        • I have one NVMe + 1 internal SSD + External powered HDD

  • What speed is the RAM? It's a pretty good price for just 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD

    Edit: The processor spec says DDR4 2133MHz is maximum. Poo

    • +1

      DDR4 - 2400T and 2133 Mixed models in this lot

  • Hey OP

    Where are you located and do you offer pick-up?

    • If it didn't com from the factory with wifi then it won't have either the internal nor external antennas.

      You can get a kit of wifi card and both antennas from AliExpress for like $30 shipped.

    Obviously can loaded with Linux/Home Assistant etc., but if you’re actually after a Windows machine it’s hard to recommend something limited to Windows 10 at this point.

    From what I understand there are workarounds to get Windows 11 running on unsupported hardware, but there are performance impacts/drawbacks.

    • you can run activated win 11 LTSC using massgrave.dev and completely circumventing the tpm 2.0 requirement

    I find the AIO listing a bit confusing. It says AIO only. I assume that means monitor + computer combined but no keyboard or mouse? And the first slide says DVD but I can’t see a drive slot anywhere? (I’d love to have the Bluray AIOs back but no one makes those)

  • Does this have any dust filters built in? I had the dell SFF before and it got really dusty after a few months.

    • I do not believe so, however the amount of air that goes through this is also a lot smaller.

  • Got one of these last time. It's a dense little nugget, should be good as a remote backup server at the parent's house.

    N100 is Windows 11 certified. Anything older than Intel G8 (e.g. 6400T) is not.

    • VentoyUSB will circumvent the MS Windows 11 certification. Just copy Windows 11 ISO to the USB and you're good to go.

  • Bought one for Batocera and Windows 11 dual boot. Thanks OP.
