On sale is the successor to the SOYO M2 Plus 2 featuring several upgrades. It comes with the newer Intel N150 CPU, two USB-C ports with video output and Power Delivery input that allows the mini PC to be powered via USB-C instead of the DC jack, as well as both WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. These low power Intel mini PCs are an excellent choice for use as a media centre PC, especially when using software like Plex where the codec and decoding support really shines with the N150.

Featuring Windows 11 Pro, an Intel N150 4 core, 4 thread CPU, Intel UHD Graphics, 16GB DDR4 SODIMM RAM, 512GB M.2 SSD (M.2 2280 NVMe + 2242 slots), 2x USB-C with video out & 12V PD input, 2x HDMI ports w/ 4K@60Hz support, 3x USB 3.1 5Gbps ports, 1x USB 2.0 port, Gigabit Ethernet LAN, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, 3.5mm audio jack and fan cooling.

    if you want to have hardware transcoding enabled then try Jellyfin instead of Plex. It's free.
    Also please try using the search button as the pros and cons of mini pcs has been discussed to death on here.
    They're fast enough for every day web browsing, youtube, email, torrenting and usenetting. Yes they can play back AV1 4K videos without dropping frames, yes they can run emulators up to PS2/Wii/Gamecube at 2X resolution, no they are not good for modern AAA gaming as, yes they make good homelab servers for opnsense, home assistant, jellyfin etc.

  • SueyJitSu on 20/03/2025 - 22:05

    I use an N100 as an Emby server (Library on NAS). Works a treat. It also doubles as dedicated server for some games every now and then.
    Is the N150 much of an upgrade over the N100?

    • GuniGuGu on 20/03/2025 - 22:18

      In my limited knowledge just researching the n150 it looks barely any faster than the n100. It's mostly on the GPU and it wouldn't be noticeable outside of benchmarks

      I have a N100 mini pc paired with a Synology DiskStation DS420j. Running Emby no problem. Have had up to 4 streams going (1080p) at a time and it handled it fine. Some streams were external as well, not all local direct play.

      • BanannaMan on 20/03/2025 - 22:38

        Exactly this. The old NAS would act as the storage only and nothing else. The microserver would be the processor that runs plex through the network. Works really work, did this to my brothers old old nas.

        How to pair? Can i put this on top of my syno? I assumed i have to connect network cable from mini pc to syno? Lucky my syno has two ethernet port, so the other cable is from syno to router? Sorry im noob. My syno is 1511+

        • MasterScythe on 20/03/2025 - 22:51

          Just setup an NFS share on the synology.

          Map it on the mini PC.

          Done :)

        • Nom on 20/03/2025 - 22:52

          You don't pair them - both devices are entirely standalone.

          Just put them both on your network and then tell the Media software on the PC (Kodi, Plex, Whatever) to look for it's content on \\synology\movies

          You're just using the Synology as dumb storage.

          • gizmomelb on 21/03/2025 - 08:14

            @Nom: As Nom said. connect NAS to your local network switch using a cable, connect mini PC to network switch using a cable.. you can have the media player / smart tv connected to the same network using wifi, but cabling is so much faster and more stable than wifi.
            try Jellyfin streamer, it works well with the Intel N100/N150 GPU for hardware transcoding and it's free, unlike Plex.

      why, they only support 1 dimm, ram is always the limiting factor

      better off with an old 8500T usff pc, will run quieter and probably more power efficient

      generally the power supplies that come with these cheap machines are well cheap, just like the pc itself, cheap build quality

      • gizmomelb on 21/03/2025 - 12:02
        +1

        because Intel hobbled the chip to single channel only so they didn't out perform their I3s. It's been widely available info for the past year that the nx00 series only supports single channel RAM.
        likewise power consumption of the n100 has been widely available for the same amount of time, so maybe do some actual fact checking before sharing opinions?

  • Treasurehunter on 20/03/2025 - 22:17

    is it better than n100?

    • festivus4all on 20/03/2025 - 22:30

      Yes by a small amount only like 4% on average.

      • hen dawg on 21/03/2025 - 07:44

        Maybe it should be called the N104 as N150 implies it's a big upgrade.
        These things are still super impressive looking considering how little they cost

        • BlinkyBill on 21/03/2025 - 09:32

          N150 with DDR5 is a noticeable improvement, over N100 with DDR4.

        • Dsiee on 21/03/2025 - 10:14

          I disagree but really neither of us have any say. N104 sounds like it would be a different SKU released at the same time which the n150 is not. N200 sounds like a bigger upgrade while n150 sounds in the middle with a graphics, memory and IO bump seeminging reasonable.

          • gizmomelb on 21/03/2025 - 12:03

            @Dsiee: intel are terrible with naming CPUs.. there are n200 and n300's, n150 for a 1 year on refresh is bad naming.

    • gizmomelb on 21/03/2025 - 08:15

      I've used mine for daily desktop usage and it's silent - EXCEPT for when I'm unpacking a 30-60GB file downloading from usenet. Then the fan will ramp up for the minute or so, then drop back down to being silent.

  • GreenLego on 20/03/2025 - 22:38

    How do you power these? The picture shows DC 12V 3A, do you need to use a travel adaptor? Do you need to buy a separate AU power brick?

      After ordering mine, I msged the seller and asked for an “AU power supply, if possible”. Seller immediately replied “My pleasure :)”, LOL. Review pictures look like it’ll probably be a Euro power plug, possibly with an AU converter. If I don’t like it, 12v AU power plugs are cheap

      You can use a travel adaptor with the one they send you or get a 12V 3A with an Australian plug. I used this one for my N100 SOYO with no problems https://vi.aliexpress.com/item/1005006770868832.html. If SOYO will send you an AU plug when asked that would be even cooler.

      I am genuinely impressed with these little N100/N150s and SOYO has been a good brand so far.

    • seefu on 21/03/2025 - 10:48

      Mine came with an asian power plug which luckily I have plenty of Xiaomi powerboards and other random adapters around. It can also power off USB-PD but keep in mind, if updating the USB drivers, it'll actually turn off the PC because the USB ports lose power as they get turned off while updating drivers

    TDP of N100 is 6W. TDP of N150 is 10W. TDP of N97 is 12W.

    N150 is fastest CPU. N97 is fastest GPU.

    N100 is the best for power efficiency and speed.

    • User7699 on 20/03/2025 - 23:41

      Some bios, the TDP of the cpu can be adjusted. The N150 box I am using can adjust the TPD to 6W like the N100 or higher then the 10W

    • desync on 21/03/2025 - 11:51

      yeah but that doesn't really mean much when the cheap chinese power supplies are vampires sucking up and extra 5 - 10w

        proof or conjecture?

        • Dollar Dreamer on 21/03/2025 - 12:22

          Its a known quantity. Bundled power supplies on cheap Chinese branded electronic devices are known to be made with the absolute cheapest materials and have low efficiency. A PD power adapter from a known brand and a USB C cable will be a bit more efficient with less parasitic losses.

  • BiZi71 on 20/03/2025 - 22:56

      Guess we will never know which one is true.

      I am looking for a reasonably priced client for moonlight at 4k 120 myself.
      Honestly its looking like one of the better options is a used Xbox series S.

        Yeah, I am confused about this one. 8K/60Hz over USB-C / DP alt-mode in the listing, but according to Intel N150 Specs Page, it states max resolution for Display Port is 4096 x 2160@60Hz (4K/60Hz).

      it comes with windows 11 installed (though personally I would format and re-install), a potato can run business software but it won't run it well. What are you wanting to run? If it's heavy calculation based stuff then be aware this only has a 4 core CPU, single channel RAM (so it is intentionally slowed down by Intel) and a limited PCI bus which limits NVME access speeds. I've been using mine for web based daily email, youtube, browsing and MS O365 tasks for over a year now and I've been happy enough with it.

      Customer review comments in this deal also indicated one of the USB-C port supports USB-PD to power the device. However, one of those comments indicated:

      There are two Type-C, one power and one monitor output.

      Does that imply you cannot have a single cable that powers the PC and also provides display output? i.e. Even if you have a USB-C monitor, you can't use single cable to power it, provide display and use the USB downstream ports on the monitor?
