Is $699 a fair price for this miniPC? Based on the Specs (i3-N300, 16GB LPDDR4, 4x NVMe Bays, 2.5GbE Port)

$699 i3-300 🤣 You can do much, much better in the $700 range. Look at just about anything in the GMKTec K line, for starters. Picking one at basically random, the NUCBox K12 Ryzen 7 H 255 with 32GB RAM/1TB SSD, Oculink and dual 2.5Gb NIC is currently $649. That will absolutely smoke an i3-300 perfor

Kaufberatung kleiner HTPC (YouTube, Netflix)

Aber wozu? Wenn du nicht zocks erledigt ein google tv stick doch genau das gleiche für einen Bruchteil des Geldes ohne, dass du immer wieder eine Tastatur auspacken musst, weil dir Windows irgendwas zerschießt. Ein GMKtec K12 mit ein bisschen RAM und SSD kostet dich schnell 500€ aufwärts für nix.

GMKtec K8 plus vs K12 vs K16?

Its all about processors in 3 different builds. The K16 7735HS is a rebadged Rembrandt 6800HS from 2022. The K12 H 255 is a lower quality 260/8845HS for the Chinese market while the K8 Plus 8845HS is fully authentic and supported by AMD. When I was searching for my mini last year I wanted more perfo

Best Gaming Mini-PC for $500-$600?

I think the GMKtec K12 is probs good value at $500 (Ryzen 7 8745HS CPU, Radeon 780M iGPU - 32gb RAM, 500GB SSD) vs competitors who have soldered ram and less expandability. The K12 has three SSD slots and you can replace the RAM. Plus it has an OCulink port so you can plug a dedicated GPU to max gam

Best mini pc under $400?

eh, the problem is the RAM and SSD. You can get a great mini-PC for around $499 CAD without RAM+SSD - GMTek K12 - https://www.amazon.ca/GMKtec-Barebones-Computer-Expansion-K12/dp/B0GC4TSPNN But the RAM and SSD is additional cost. If you got some laying around, that would be great.

What's your 'I can't believe I self-hosted that' service?

Honestly it's working good, a bit rough around the edges. I built it because I really don't like Android. The lack of control, software support abandonment, etc, have driven me to work towards eradicating Android from all my devices. So atm we have these Mini PCs, they were £160 no RAM no SSD. Beast

Best mini pc under $400?

Also keep an eye on the GMKtec official seller on Ali express. I bought a barebone K12 for £185 (348 CAD) 10 days ago. It’s gone back up in price again but I’d expect it to drop again.
