My mother was working in Wang mainframe computers in the 1970s through the mid 90s. I wish she were alive so I could show her how far things have come. What a time to be alive!
GOD bless her
I used to work for Wang. cough cough
Sorry for your loss.
🙏
My mother started off as a typist, then started learning Wang word processors in the late 70's / early 80s and eventually the entire MS Office suite and worked her way up to an administrative assistant. I've been working in the IT Industry since 1989.
I installed Windows 10 both to optimize the performance and to ensure there's no hidden back doors. Works a treat. Was 100% fully backwards compatible with no faults or issues. Also added a back-lit bluetooth keyboard. Really neat little system. This is what I call progress.
With my offbrand Intel N5105* miniPC that I got last year, still running well for what I need it for and emulation. I love being able to travel with it and runs faster and better than my older Pi4 that I still own. What sells me on this is that it's so small that to travel with it is easy and causes less (or no) attention in customs.
also it plays back video like a charm, which is not something you can say about the pi4 all times.
If you don't want to lug a keyboard mouse around you can also just buy a wifi combo in your destination country, many hotels have TVs with HDMI port. So all you lug around is the computer with power wart and hdmi cable.
Something like this looks like a much better option to run Kodi or Plex than a Pi 5. And it's not that far off money-wise once you add the accessories needed for the Pi. Just wish it supported HDMI 2.1...
I've never used Kodi for years, once I got Stremio and the stremfun addon I've never looked back. Kodi was great at the time, I just feel it is too slow these days and cumbersome to use. Try Stremio and the addon :)
My second desktop computer is an old HP with a Core-I7 running Linux Mint and feeding a 32" gaming monitor. I could really free up floor space and do everything I want to do with this amazing mini. The days of the giant floor standing computers is receding into the past at accelerating speeds.
I got this with the coupon discount. Upgraded the wifi to an Intel wifi 6e. I haven't done any over clock of change to tdp. I'm really impressed with the gaming performance. I really just wanted this for parties and playing couch coop games. I ordered a 2tb drive to load up with emulation.
I have the same idea thanks, is wifi 6 a must?
Do you have a link for this to purchase thanks if available
No value, I bought a used ASUS Ally Z1 extreme with a dock 400$ to play the emulation fast and cheap
Love the mini PC content, Prime 👍
Kindest regards, neighbours and friends.
I got this exact mini PC last week and set the TDP to 15W in the bios, so far pretty impressed with the performance in "classic" games I'm trying; maxed out settings in Oblivion and it's almost always at 60fps. New Vegas I've only just booted up but it's running well too. Running Morrowind/OpenMW actually doesn't do as well as Oblivion but I've got it near max locked to 30fps which is fine for me. I'll test out FFXIV and Apex Legends next (whenever I upgrade the SSD) but it ran the FFXIV Dawntrail benchmark at "slightly low" which is better than I'd anticipated. Overall very happy with the performance after years of all my computing tasks shared between an iPad pro, a Raspberry Pi 400, or if I had to use an x86 computer dusting off a decade-plus old dual-core laptop.
Finally a cheap mini pc on par with my 2400g. Been wanting a smaller desktop with similar performance or better.
Its nice to see youre going back to budget oriented videos! :)
Thank you
I own the GMKtec NucBox G1. Low end but it works just fine for what I need it to do. I upgraded the memory to 16Gigs and Added a 1TB NVMe SSD. Dual booting Windows 11pro and Xubuntu 22.02-LTS. Linux is my everyday OS. I have Windows for Adobe products. Overall I love the size and performance of this tiny little box.
This thing is ABSOLUTELY crazy for what it is and at the price it's going for. Super cool.
I use this one w/ 12GB ddr5 N100 as my 4K PLEX server and man I have 4 streams going and this little beast handles it. I am not using windows and went with a Linux Fedora 40 w/ GUI.
It's always nice to see fellow Linux folk chime in because I'm looking to use it for a how Linux server. Thanks for sharing, and God bless 🐧
What's good ETA! Its your fav teardown better here with another begging session! Just a peak at the cooling fan would make me go wild PLEASE ETA🙏🥺
The Nuc-like PCs are like a gateway drug! I bought one earlier this year, maxed out the memory and SSD, then figured out the graphic problem with upgrading the Linux OS. Best little hidden PC I ever had. I plan on building a little network of these kinds of PCs all over the house. Just because…
Bought it, love it, watching this on it.. strapping it on the back of a 12 volt RV tv / monitor and powered off a Jackery 300 whr power box with a BT keyboard w mouse pad. with a verizon jet pack internet makes this setup a great grab n go computer solution
Ya this is amazing and I totally agree, they should always include an extra USB-C port or two for data, should be standard now...this would be perfect as a 2nd pc for a family member (like my mom) who doesn't game much and the price is excellent. Back in the day 4 cores were slow asf, but with the improvements in TDP, they're good workhorses now...if they can run 4K vids...what more can you ask for that meets 90% of your needs?
I didn't even know GMKTec released this!! I have a NucBox 5 that I use for a x86 development server that's super portable. Unfortunately that only has a N5105 processor and 8GB of memory. Going to have to replace it with this one! Having a cpu with AVX/AVX2 allows more things I need to run, NICE! The extra memory and newer CPU will definitely help me! Thanks for posting this!!!
Very nice and the upgradeable M.2 storage gives it an edge not usually found in something this small. I see it swaying some prospective N100 purchasers.
Thank you for your video, The market is so confusing to me, but I trust your judgment so I have just ordered one to play retrogames through retrobat. Thank you
I have three of these networked inside a very small dollhouse for my daughter to simulate a tiny home computing environment with her dolls. She loves playing Disney Dreamlight Valley from inside her dollhouse. The monitors they're connected to are as thin as a grain of rice and hang on the walls above the mini pc.
watch 4 con-10th
@AfterBurnettAsks 🤣🤣🤣
what monitors do you use?
we need mini pc's like this with amd apus
Unfortunately the things we actually want in budget are actually very rare and cannot be found easily....harsh truth..
That small? Sadly no. But you can lower the TDP on Mini PC's that use AMD processors.
ZEN 5 APUs please
Imagine if amd release athlon that competes with these pentium or celeron
MinisForum EM680/EM780 are basically that
ey, thats breddy gucci! Considering decent support right off the gate plus its power draw, it can be (easily) considered as a rpi 5 killer!
It is so insane to me that you can play games like Skyrim on this thing. The advancements since my gaming peak are just crazy. I used to have a PC as big as my house with a fan louder than a motorcycle chugging through to get games running at like 20 fps.
I had 2 of these delivered today, one will be my jellyfin server.
Oooh, this looks perfect. I wanna get one of these, throw Retroarch on it and a ton of games and hook it up to my living room TV!
Please do more comparisons :) like three products of the same factor / price / technology or whatever just like u did here with these Nseries CPUs. Cheers!
Good to see N97s coming through now
This is incredible 👏 how do you connect it to your display?
The geekbench for the N97 was done in Linux as opposed to Windows?
Excellent video, does this mini pc can be used for video editing?
When benchmarking, it is a good idea to use the same version and same OS.
Thank you for including power consumption! I want something to handle video streaming in my RV and take power over PoE. I think a PoE to type-C converter will do the job here! Do you know if it works with the Power Delivery standard or expects a constant voltage and amperage out of the power supply?
Thanks for the review, I had not Heard of this company before your videos. Again, thanks, and God bless
Thanks for letting us know about this product. Could you help us newbies with external products that you recommend for storage etc as an additional video so we can get the most out of it.
That N97 has a Passmark score of 5919.
That's pretty awesome for such a cheap and tiny box.
Now, if only it would run virtualization
the excitement for zen5 and zen5 mobile is growing - should be some good things later this year
indeed that will be by next mini pc
I hope you can include assesment of some opencv models or ultralytics tolo models using this small gpu, that would be really great
Intel saw arm64 form factor and said hold my beer
That's sweet. I love the tiny pc's. You got me to buy the S500+ R7-7840HS 16GLPDDR5 6400MHz 4 tb Mini PC, and I love it! I still can't get it overclocked, though I'm definitely doing something wrong. Because I do it it doesn't want to boot. Then I have to remove the clock battery to reset. 😔
skill+education issue
Reminds me of the Chuwi Shartbox. Not falling for that again
This is crazy! I already want it. I had Raspberry Pi to run object recognition python script to process my security cameras stream that gave me 0.5 frames per second. I wonder what this little guy can provide.
This will be my new Mac mini. Btw can this intel Gpus handle hdmi-cec commands when using as kodi player plugged to TV?
Can u add local game streaming (moonlight) to see if the small pc's can handle it ?
Ps: Love the channel
There are SO many of these ... it would be really nice if we could get a teir list placement *for this and the handhelds*
"i think this goes into the S teir" ect
cause the numbers are great but >.< it gets a bit overwhelming after a while and if i ever get into the market for one of these which i plan to when i start up a few projects *of which i will definitely use your videos for that choice*,
a tier list would be so incredibly useful. i understand that's a lot of work though.
The benchmark discrepancy is almost definitely because of using different versions of the benchmark software across entirely different families of operating systems
I'd love to see this torn down to just the minimum for it to work (board and a few ports), so it can be fairly compared to the rpi.
Off topic but what keyboard is that he’s got? Looks nice.
How well would this act as a game server? Looking to host a few game servers with minimal power/desk space. Thx
I wanted a small PC i could use for emulation and for running Renoise+Milkytracker for making music - this looks like a crazy deal for the money. Takes up zero space and I can take it with me when I travel. If you aren't doing anything super demanding this looks like a solid choice and it's cheap enough to pick up and not feel too guilty about.
regarding emulation performance, you said that it does not have enough gpu-power to run F-Zero GX on Gamecube... did you try on windows or with batocera? On batocera i can play F-Zero GX at 2x resolution constant 60fps (even on the fire/vulcano track) no problem on my N100 mini-PC
This awesome. As long as it’s playable I’m straight🔥🔥🔥
@6:13 why is the n97 on linux while the others are on windows? Could that account for the difference in scores because of system overhead differences between the OS?
How do you think this will handle cloud based programs like photoshop, illustrator and sketchup?
Do you reckon this thing would be up to the task of switching FHD video streams (NDI/SRT) for livestreaming using vMix or OBS?
This looks like the perfect thing to replace my old HP single core Desktop when it dies which I imagine it will probably do before too long because of how old it is
ETA - will this run Steam FX3 pinball games? Would love to use this to make a vpin with FX3 on cabinet mode.
Am I reading the benchmark correctly? The N97 Geekbench for Linux and the N200 & N100 were for Windows?
Does that have any impact on results?
Reminds me the pc104 architecture. at 3.5 by 3.75 inches, it was the tiny pc back in the days. That’s 4 times as big as this. Wow!
No, it's not - this PCl size is 4.5" x 4.2" x 1.6" (approx.)
Is this great for a Plex media server? The specs and performance seem to indicate that it is.
Would this be good as a streaming pc? I’m only going to use it for OBS and my camera for the stream
Does the USB-C power supply support PD or just straight 12V3A down the wire?
Just wonder if this supports in-band ECC? Thanks.
Hey can you review emulation on the new onn 4k pro?
whats the point on using different benchmark versions? (geekbench) ofc the results doesnt makes sense 6.1.0 vs 6.3.0 vs 6.2.2 the n200 is the faster one not by much but still (n97 gpu is faster because higher clock)
I was thinking about getting a retroid pocket pro 4 but then I saw the price of this and now I'm thinking of getting this instead. Good idea?
Cool little PC. Though I only use it to run Lightburn for my laser engraver/cutter lol
Any application running in windows works ? no issues? I am planning to install visual studio and sql etc and all software development apps
Would this improve significantly gaming-wise using an eGPU?
Pretty cool. But does it use a modified windows 11 pro? I bought one of their other offerings and they use windows 11 pro that omits the windows TPM because it lacks the hardware.
So an authentic full fat windows 11 can never be installed on it.
That footprint really reminds me of the Morefine M6S!
Edit: It literally uses the same case...
I would really appreciate if you started including music production software capabilities in you reviews . Pleease
This is such a sff for those who just wanna watch UA-cam and Netflix and web browsing and email it’s perfect
sell fone
@@UNKNOWN-un6nz bigger screen monitor i dont wanna use my cellphone
Could this be used for processing RAW images using Photoshop and Lightroom? Will the power/cores/threads be sufficient for this purpose? Please suggest. Thank you.
I'd love to see you trying out games like halo infinite on these mini pc
Cool Thank you
Are the screws in the back VESA compatible?
Any word on how it would handle imaging online, and/or photoshop and say something like rebelle 7 paint program? Most of my editing software and painting programs and racing Hames all require windows 10 or better now, but I want to keep my old windows 7 / Linux dual boot machine as main computer, but use a new small form factor pc with wi down 11 for the software I mentioned?
I'd use this only as a stream decoder? Like a 2 pc setup using this with quickstnc etc. Is that possible??
No one ever tests Twilight Princess, which I've found often lags on systems shown to run other games well, especially during the fog scene in the woods.
How would this one perform compared to LattePanda Delta 3?
I have to ask, how would this do as a dedicated streaming pc that would be seperate from your gaming pc?
Can this thing be powered by any portable battery banks, like an Anker?
Geekbench scores were not all performed on the same version or OS. The N97 stats show that they are for Linux and not Windows. It would be better to have more correct scoring on the same versions and same OS.
I'm kinda confused with the benchmark results, is the N97 test faster because It was on linux maybe?
Not sure where you got the measurements from, but that thing is much bigger than 1.4" x 1.4". Looks to be around 3" square, maybe 2.5".
Measuring tapes aren't expensive, but maybe you can get some company to send you one to review.
no optical audio out?
Finally something in my price point 😂.
Question so the g2 is stronger?they were playing PS2 and GameCube easily on the g2 even some Xbox
Which 4K test video was that?
Wooaah soo smol!! Like it
I’m curious if it can it run LLMs like Ollama’s one
Wow classic and LoL would run great on this i think ! :)
Please make a comparison of this N97 PC with a similar priced used Lenovo, HP or Dell Minimicro (1 Liter) PC (Intel i5-6500T and/or i3-8100T)(Price/Performance/Powerconsumtion). Greetings from Germany.
The neon green power button is an eyesore
I wish ETA Prime would test a Dog's Life on PS2, it's pretty hard to run due to artifacts. Maybe a test one day?
This with the new arm chip would be killer
I got same formfactor but on n100, it would be great to see m.2 external gpu performance, because igpu barely enough for ps2 native resolution
Great nvidia geforce now device though
I find it weird that your benchmark data at 6 minute mark uses linux for the device your'e showing; and the comparison products are using windows. Could you help me understand that?
But you still need a screen and keyboard, so by the time you add those, its about the size of a laptop?
