Re: Mini PCs Database
#52If you're looking to tinker the Amazon Prime sale has some reasonable deals on N100 mini-PCs right now, at least in the US. Popular models like BeeLink and Minisforum are down from $200 to $160.
How is this better than an i7-8k series from Ebay with 16GB ram and a 256GB SSD for $150 USD or less?
It's new? it's smaller and quieter? It runs under 10 watts? You get 16GB + 512GB for $160, or did in the sale.
Also it's cuter.

For $600 sure, but its review isn't exactly glowing: https://www.servethehome.com/minisforum-ms-01-review-the-10g...
Isn't exactly glowing? End conclusion is this: "At the end of the day, if you are looking for a P-core enabled high-performance mini server or workstation, the Minisforum MS-01 is probably the best out there right now." The review is why I bought the damn thing. But I didn't go for the most expensive option and bought my own RAM and NVMe for it. NVMe I went with a Samsung PM9A3 for filesystem consistency and heavy wr…
And the next sentence says "On the other hand, this is a $619 list price CPU"...

You are misquoting. The next sentence does not say such.
The quote is "At the end of the day, if you are looking for a P-core enabled high-performance mini server or workstation, the Minisforum MS-01 is probably the best out there right now.". After that comes a new part of the article, concerning Where to Buy.
What you quote is mentioned in the article, but taken out of context by you. The full quote however is:
> The Minisforum MS-01 is a really awesome machine. Let us simply say that first. It is hard to make a system that pleases everyone. For one, I might want more RAM capacity and a lower-end CPU. On the other hand, this is a $619 list price CPU (Core i9-13900H) that comes in a system with a SSD, RAM, multiple network ports, chassis, and so forth for $829. That is a lot of extra components for $210. While I may want a lower power processor, I am not sure how much better of a value it would end up being.
In other words, it is actually a compliment. But the Core i9-13900H is the most expensive option. I didn't go for that one. Besides, I also put in my own SSD and RAM (and SFP+).
