N97 is newer, slightly faster cpu, fair bit quicker graphics, draws more power.

The N97 has already dropped and is faster. Odd naming progression.

Crazy you could get a NM790 that would suit most use cases for ~$270 recently.

News just in, you get what you pay for, film at 11. Tcl's newer c855 massively outpunches the competition, particularly if you pick it up…

Semper fi, brothers.

Quicksync in general is not to be underestimated on the Intel chips. The new N97's are wild.

>The FASTEST we've tested WiFi 7 is about 3.5Gb Because you clearly don't know about the standard, beamforming, 2x2 vs 4x4, etc, etc etc.…

Erm. Consumer ethernet. 1 gig, magbe 2.5. Wifi 5, 3.5 gig. Wifi 6, max about 9.6 gig. Wifi 7, max about 46 gig. Wifi 8 is set to target…

In my Q990D, near as I can tell the ceiling speakers just raise the stage to "mid tv" or "slightly louder front", with no directional…

The surround formats are compressed i believe. Only the shield pro isnt.

Apple tv does not pass through uncompressed atmos. Only the shield pro does, iirc.

Got one if these a few weeks back. Solid. Solid. Unit.

Installed as pictured, this device could get you a ticket for obstructing your vision (and arguably should). Not a joke. It's happened to…

Noting that if you intend to run this as an "all in one" incluuding Plex/home media via this, a much cheaper/smaller box leveraging Intel's…

It smell like ACCC in here.

Streaming platforms not available here cannot always be accessed by all overseas vpns. There is a cold war arms race going on between…

It's so so good, once you dial it in. And you can blast the colours if you want to for animated movies etc, dial it back for sports/nature…

Stop minimising vendor lock in behaviour.

>a knowledgeable torch specialist That is most certainly a matter of opinion.

If they void my warranty for replacing said component? Yes. Abso (profanity) lutely. Go and ask the ifixit community for their opinion on…

That doesn't have "proper" quick sync decoding, the N97 would be more capable. Well, I mean it can easily do 4k transcoding, of some…

>You will be a walking target if you flash this around. How many criminals that *know what this is* do you expect to find doing street…

Got one running ~5x 4k streams. A few weeks ago. It's fine. I don't get the ramping you describe and I can't hear it at full tilt anyway,…

It is, and if he's got an older gen i7 without quick-sync, it'll actually be far worse for video transcoding (plex, security cams, OBS,…

Beyond capable. Plex will leverage the intel quicksync built into it. My box is running plex and some security cams, and doesn't max out…

These things are wild. Use Intel Quicksync, and this little thing is running 1 x 4k camera stream into OBS, doing overlays, and pushing out…

The CPU is one thing. The motherboard chipset and everything else is another. Core CPU consumption at idle is often not even remotely…

Ahhhhhh noooooo. Man.

Not just the CPU, the GPU is faster, which is a key consideration for most users of these tiny pc's that can't be fixed via dongle.
