I have a cheap one (kind of like Wuben but 1000lm max) and for my usage (working in a room with no light in the evening), it is still…

From the review comments on the item, it has 4 levels (so guessing 2000Lm is for highest level, up to 7 hours run time refers to using the…

It's a prosumer board as it has 10Gbps LAN, USB4, USB 3.2 gen 2x2, multiple PCIe gen 5 slots. It also has a top notch VRM (though it is…

It might still be worthwhile to wait for X870E because the board might have 1 more change: WiFi7. Improved DDR5 support could also be…

Sorry about the confusion, I was mainly commenting / replying on Shiroi's comment. I actually agree with your comment. Personally, I would…

AMD did use multiple AGESA micro code updates to fix multiple issues. Ryzen 3000 series CPUs have RDRAND bug and all AMD did via AGESA was…

If you have a better cable, try that first. Quite a number of these "cost effective" enclosures come with USB 3.2 gen 2 cables which are…

You can get close to 1000MB/s with USB 3.2 gen 2, below is my result using JMicron chipset based enclosure. Generally, the Realtek chipset…

You need to get an active DisplayPort to HDMI converter. Below is one where some OZBers like.…

Yeah, Intel was arrogant and refused to support HDMI 4K/60Hz in integrated graphics until 11th gen. Most PC makers wanting to quote 4K/60Hz…

I bought the GPIO pins and soldered that to my Pi Zero W years ago, pretty easy. I do have a soldering iron though.
05/08/2024 - 23:18
Yes, but pi zero only supports USB 2 so you probably can't use gigabit ethernet.

That price, has to be EF. I recall buying a nifty fifty (EF) for $90 delivered (DHL from Hong Kong).

The i7-4770 mini PC isn't good either. The Dell one I was looking at, R7 200 1MB video card, 450GB storage **HDD** so that means it only…

Yes, DP can actually do more. If the GPU supports dual-mode DisplayPort (DP++), you can use a passive DP to HDMI adapter (and the GPU does…

Maybe this: https://www.amazon.com.au/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00JQORLCG It's best not to use converters (even if…

If you don't care about HDMI CEC, then this might be better (since it includes an SSD and power adapter). With Pi 5, you need to get the…

Mine suppose to do 3 x 4K60Hz (all with HDR). This one should do 2 x 4K60Hz fine. I am not sure about high refresh rate on 2K though... but…

This is a N97 deal and due to N97 being set to 12W, Intel i7-4770 is no match in single core. Your N100 result is likely based on 6W and…

> HEVC with big bitrate Intel i7-4770 does **NOT** support HEVC decoding, let alone encoding. So the band-aid solution is get 1030 which is…
05/08/2024 - 15:42
I don't get this fixation on buying really old tech. I threw away a 1030 last year. If I want to game, I wouldn't bother with a 1030. H265,…
05/08/2024 - 15:37
Problem is 1030 lacks some of video hardware acceleration capabilities (i.e. AV1). Now, if all you care is old tech, then it is fine.…
05/08/2024 - 15:31
FYI, I don't neg people's comments even if it the comment contains incorrect information. When the integrated GPU inside can decode a video…

N100 is likely to do better in Web browsing than i7-4770 because its single core performance is at least comparable if not better.…
05/08/2024 - 15:21
i7-4770 will need to rely on multi core usage to beat N100 and not a huge fan of second hand PCs or laptops. The much improved video…

Don't think it doubles the power consumption all the time. It just raises the limit on the max power the CPU can draw.
05/08/2024 - 15:02
It has 2 HDMI ports. If you need more, there are some other N100 Mini PCs supporting 3 displays (technically, N100 can support up to 4 4K…
