Thanks for the great video Daniel. I have been seriously considering buying this rig but perhaps you can answer a couple of questions for me. I have absolutely 0 use for AI unless it would enhance WhisperAI's translaton capabilities. With that exception AI has no use in my world. My impression of the speaker is that its sole purpose it to communicate with the user. To that extent, should I buy this, can I remove the speaker from the MOBO, remove it from the physical dust cover and then replace only the dustcover? My other question is off-topic but does this new version prevent me from using ...bypassnro? I've read that Windows has removed that authentication loophole and I just want to know if I will be forced to log in to Mother Microsoft to authenticate the new system? Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer. Cheers.
Thank you and happy to help. I'm not finding much practical use for the AI myself because it doesn't help in games but I don't know much of what is out there. I see whisper has some discussions for NPU support which could possibly apply to Zen 4 and Zen 5 mini pc in the future. A lot of it seems like the same situation with nvidia ray tracing and DLSS a few years ago where nvidia banked hard into new features most software did not support yet and when those software finally were supported in meaningful numbers, there were much more powerful GPUs available by then.
@Rabid-Pinocchio i bypassed microsoft sign in by not connecting to wifi or ethernet during windows setup. I mainly just had to create a password and some security questions and name the pc. It was pretty easy.
@@Power3DDesign That's perfect sir. I see that you've responded to another question that I asked on another of your videos. I apologize for bombarding you with questions. I sure appreciate you taking the time to respond and also your reports are extremely well designed. I heard/read you self-effacing with respect to 'rambling' but I can tell you that your rambling makes the video vastly more compelling and much easier to stay focused on the data rather than a clinical description of said data so I thank you for that. Cheers.
The speakers can be removed. I am thinking of putting a couple layers of electrical tape to cover the space. They're kind of funny because under certain loads, the speakers pick up noise from voltage/current changes in the cpu/iGPU and will occasionally make a soft noise which interrupts what is otherwise a very low noise mini PC. But it is convenient for me since I don't normally test computers with speakers.
can you tell us how to remove microphone connected to this mini pc. this gen mini pc has inbuilt microphone and i don't like someone to listen to my conversations or spying on me. that will be helpful
Thanks for the great vid!
Happy to help, best wishes with your SER9!
