    Chang Wang sells a bare-bones, passively-cooled N100 with dual Intel i226-V 2.5GbE NIC's for $150 (CWWK X86 P5). It would be suitable for a basic firewall, unlike this minix box. Of course, you still have to add your own M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD and a DDR5 SODIMM. I've been very happy so far with their earlier passively-cooled N5105 model that has 4 Intel 2.5GbE NIC's. Runs a little hot (doesn't thermally throttle) but I haven't repasted it yet. Others report a 10C temperature drop afterwards.

  • @gdjaybee742

    I believe N100 supports DDR4 and DDR5. If they went with the DDR5 variant, it wouldn't need dual module, and you are at max config. I bet you the DDR5 will run GOW for PSP at 3X if this had DDR 5.

    • @TommyLeeBak

      This reminds me of the situation how a long time ago, encouraged by advertisements, I bought a computer with an Intel Atom processor (nvidia ION). All the reviewers praised how it plays videos and yes the video on YT played smoothly at the time, but the pleasure of using the system was very low. Even when you just wanted to scroll the web browser everything stuttered. Today's low-power processors are faster, but the system requirements have also increased, so I suspect the user experience may be similar.

    Otherwise I think it is a good looking system, very early 80s 8-bit looking home computer, I like that.

  • @srvuk
    @srvuk 3 месяца назад

    There is a lot of competition in the N100 sector and this just doesn't have enough about it to rally distinguish itself at the price being charged. That warning sticker about the heat on the top (that wasn't mentioned) would concern me and the lack of DDR5 is another downside in comparison to some of the competition. Minix are better known for Android boxes, which were also rather more expensive than the competition but tended to provide better firmware and support. But this is X86 and does not require the same more specialised attention.
    So with just one major factor that makes it different, it just doesn't cut the mustard for me. They need to bring the price down closer to £$€200 to hope to compete. The power draw is less than others, so might indicate that the top would get even hotter if it drew the more typical 25-8w at max that we see from other boxes.

    • @MrChihinwong

    • @reinerfranke5436
      @reinerfranke5436 3 месяца назад

      Yes, you point it. A better fan control is what is needed. You can set the power limit and then a low rpm fan is lower acoustic noise than the background. I was interested in mini-pc to get rid of my old desktop, size- and power-wise. My minimum feature set was replaceable DIMM and 3 displays.
      The offers from Chatreey fit me with the AN2P R5 75625U and the T9 ADL N100 which provide 4 displays.

    The GMKTek G3 is a bit cheaper and I've been happy with mine. The fan on my G3 doesn't create any significant noise when using Batocera and emulating games. The fan is the only moving part in my G3 and removing that from the build by going passive cooling like this MINIX would not just make it quieter, but also remove a potential source of failure.
