It features a 1080P HD camera with a physical switch for privacy protection, supports Windows Hello and Studio Effects, and can be angle-adjusted with a stand. Paired with dual digital microphones, it offers excellent collaboration experiences for video conferencing.

This Mini PC comes with dual-channel DDR5 5600MHz high-frequency memory, supporting up to 96GB. It includes two M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD slots and an SD expansion card slot with speeds up to 60MB/s, meeting the storage needs of filmmakers and creative professionals.

The AtomMan X7 Ti utilizes the Cold Wave cooling system, featuring a proprietary compact phase-change cooling material, a large silent cooling fan, and three heat pipes, ensuring stable 65W performance release.

For video output, the X7 Ti supports up to four different displays through HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.0, and two USB4 ports. In addition to supporting the latest WiFi 7, the X7 Ti is equipped with dual 5G Ethernet ports, providing users with both wireless and wired high-speed internet options.

Hi there!

I am after something to attach to my 75" loungeroom TV to be a base for torrents, Bluetooth my Sony soundbar to, and play content at 4k.

I 'daily' run a chromecast for Netflix, Disney+ and such, but i am sick of having to torrent and thumb drive to the TV and hope the format works in the in-built player.

As for other uses; I have a beast gaming pc, so don't need a mini pc to do anything too crazy on the gaming-front (although some older emulation would be nifty, but not a huge deal breaker)

I wouldn't mind being able to do some spreadsheetwork from the lounge and using my big ol' TV to get a better look at everything.

Oh, I also live in Australia if that affects anything.

Thanks! 😊🙏

I don't keep up with mobile processors much, and was planning on getting the AM5 version of AsRock's DeskMini when it launches. Just curious of anything exists to potentially save a buck (looking at over $800 to setup the DeskMini the way I want).

Looking for something that will allow me to OC RAM. Any other unlocked features is nice to have, but DRAM-OCing is a requirement.

The exact CPU doesn't matter much, so long as it has the full-fat 780M.

Does anything exist?

I'm thinking to move away from Raspberry Pi 4 that i use only for Home Assistant.
I want to buy a mini PC and I would like your suggestion or experience (if you have personally tested for HA). My plan is to (eventually) do the following (descending order):

1. Run Proxmox (not pimox or any other unofficial port)
2. Host Home Assistant (HA OS) reliably (the main reason i'm moving away from Raspberry) in Proxmox
3. Be low power (at least something between Raspberry Pi and "normal server")
4. Host other stuff in parallel in Proxmox like NextCloud, Plex (transcoding capabilities are welcome)

I'm thinking a Intel N100 mini pc like: FIREBAT T8 Pro Plus or larkbox X

Any opinions?

I was looking for a mini pc to replace my raspberry pi.
I'm down to these two models.
my priority is low power consumption and longevity.
Which one do you think I should go for?

Gmktec g3 8gb 256gb : $142 inc. shipping

or Chatreey T9 8gb 256 gb : $160 inc shipping

does the Chatreey T9 worth the additional $20 in your opinion?

please provide your thoughts.

Thanks.

In case anyone's interested I made a short video about my initial experiences running the Minisforum UM790 Pro from my Anker PowerCore 737 here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6H-CyOy5d4

Ok, so I have been putting in work, researching and trying to learn where specs are at these days. I'm lost!

I haven't built or bought my own computer in 20 years..!

I've got a killer retro gaming collection, which is taking up space, and is going to be boxed up for a while, or until I get a house with a spare room.

I recently got into emulation, which is amazing, I've got a Miyoo Mini Plus, and an Anbernic handheld.

So now, I think I want a mini PC, it will be connected to the TV, and used for media and light gaming.

My needs -

• play downloaded movies (I don't care about 4k)
• stream Netflix etc.
• play emulated retro games (prefer up to and including PS1) - I can live with just SNES & Genesis though
• play old PC games - Doom and Wolfenstein 3D etc. lol
• SSD
• wifi / bluetooth built in
• quiet fan ?
• up to about US$250
• not too much techno setup, windows installed would be a bonus
• AND power rating up to 240V for down here in New Zealand

Any recommendations? And thanks in advance.

Hi,

I bought an Acemagic S1 MiniPc and I'm using it as a headless server for my house. I'm very happy with it but I'm a little annoyed by the fact that the LCD display on the case does not work on Linux and the official drivers are only for Windows 11. Does anybody know of a way to access the display from Linux?

Hello everyone, I just bought a couple of mini pcs. Both on the N100 platform. The Beelink I got had the ability to have a SATA ssd added, but I really would have liked 2.5Gbe LAN.

The Morefine M9 N100 page on Amazon says that 85 has this feature, but mine arrived and the port speed is showing 1Gbe.

Is this just misleading marketing on their part or am I missing something?

Thank you!

Edit: Title is supposed to say “Morefine”.

Is there any efficient ways to free or optimize my 6gb of Ram for emulators like Mobox 64 and yuzu? I've got Google Pixel 4XL, Snapdragon 855, only emulators and camera apps are installed beside system apps. Haven't used smartphones and Android much. I'm aware that 8gb+ is more required for current days, but couldn't get a better option

I downloaded Citra MMJ and when I tried to play one of my games, the tilt controls werent working for some reason even though it worked on the normal citra version. How do you fix it?

I beat Hades once and now I am playing re-runs. It's fun. But I need some new games which I can beat. Already playing PoP lost crown and enjoying it. Can you please suggest some linear easy to finish games which I can finish in my leisure time. Preferably without a controller.

Hey guys, I need some help or advice.

I found an old mini pc in the attic, it's a Pegatron Amis D525

( Intel Atom D525 1.8 GHz, NVIDIA ION2, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Gigabit Ethernet, 500gb HDD, 4gb ram ddr3, 4 x USB 2.0, vga hdmi)

Here are some photos (taken from a russian forum)

Is it too bad? Can it be used for something? what could it be used for?

Servethehome tested 96GB with HP 600 g3 and as i have seen they continued to test these modules in newer reviews. They mentioned that they have tested it with other 1L mini pc’s but they didn’t publish those results. Does anybody know which other machines work with 96GB?

https://www.servethehome.com/mushkin-redline-96gb-2x-48gb-ddr5-5600-sodimm-non-binary-upgrade-kit/

PS. i DON’T ask whether it is supported or not by vendors (HP,Dell etc.) - i know it’s (usually) not and don’t care. Im asking if they WORK with those modules.

i plan to download that custom ROM in the future and wondering if it breaks any emulators? would the 160hz refresh rate mode cause any issues either?

Yeah this question is very strange,but i want to know

Hi there!

I have an HP ProDesk 400 G2 Mini and NL952-EAU-10 4G cat18 M.2 modem card from a Three 4G router. I want to turn this into a 4GLTE router with pfSense. I'd like to add 2,5gbe ethernet too, if possible. This thing has no PCIe however.

Firstly, is this possible and if so, how where to begin? Any suggestions?
