I see a lot of people suggest NUC PCs with Radeon GPUs in them. I'm not sure how much that has improved over the last couple of years but the last time I tried a NUC with a radeon GPU in it, the decode latency was awful. Like 20+ ms. So nearly unusable even though it supposedly supported AV1 and HEV

Cybergeek has a decent but unremarkable 30 day return policy and 1 year warranty. I see nothing bad with them. It is a very small brand with 3-4 models for sale and nothing using a recent processor. You are looking at the Nano L1 Zen 2+ 5700U model. Other than the minimalist white aesthetic, it does

This is more a question about the manufacturer, component/assembly quality control & brand. Indeed, heat dissipation does play a factor, although if one starts off with a poor quality product, the experience can only go down from there. Take your 5500U for example. The Lucienne Zen 2 5000 series (57

Products manufactured by CYX understand the MiniPC Union umbrella (Acemagic, Acemagician, Kamrui, NiPoGi, etc) have questionable build quality & customer service over the last couple years, noticeably once they switched from Cezanne/Barceló to the much cheaper Zen 2 Lucienne. Something that became e

My general recommendation for everyone buying prebuilt computers from any brand is to reinstall the OS because it is free and easy to do. Alternatively, for the incredibly lazy, run a windows full scan or malwarebyte scan which are free to use. Otherwise, I have been testing the Acemagic F3A, F1A, a

I'm glad you asked this question. I bought the Matrix M1 so by default it comes with 16GB single-channel DDR5 RAM. I wanted to dual boot Windows and CachyOS which is a Linux distro. I do a lot of multi-tasking on both operating systems. I noticed when gaming I would experience the video lagging behi

I’d be a bit cautious with ACEMAGIC for a homelab “core” box, not so much because of performance but because of trust. Earlier this year they admitted that some mini PCs (AD08/AD15/S1) shipped with pre-installed spyware (Redline + Bladabindi) baked into the factory Windows image. Honestly, they, alo

First, the Ryzen 5 7430U is far from a Ryzen 7 5850U 7430U - 6-cores/12-threads / 4.3GHz boost / RX Vega 7 1.8GHz 5850U - 8-cores/16-threads / 4.5GHz boost / RX Vega 8 2.0GHz The 7430U is a re-badged 5625U, not known as a gaming powerhouse. From the disinformation, guessing it's one of the CYX budge

I’m migrating my plex server from my main pc because I want to learn Linux and docker, and also because I don’t want to have a bunch of extra processes running on my regular workhorse. I’m trying to decide on a mini pc but I’m getting confused on requirements. The mini pc will run plex and home assi
