Beelink unveils Intel Wildcat Lake Mini PC with smartphone UFS 3.1 storage

Pretty shitty price for the specs, you can get a Peladn WO4 7460HS for 399$ or Aoostar MACO 6850H with 24GB LPDDR5 for 430$. You would overpaying for a weak NPU for webcam background and Noise isolation and that s all

Bosgame P3 Mix 7640HS ($398) vs Aoostar MACO 6850H ($459), worth extra?

The Aoostar MACO is without a doubt a better quality build than the BOSGAME P3 Mix. The MACO enjoy a New Metalic Chassis Design whereas the BOSGAME is build on "Fit them all" old plastic chassis The Aoostar Maco has a better port selection with precious Oculink port for EGPU expanssion and 2 X USB4

AOOSTAR MACO and MINISFORUM x1 Lite: both H255. Can it run power via the USB4 and operate eGPU?

I would rather pick the Aoostar Maco because it has an Oculink port.

If you could recommend only one MiniPC?

With RAMpocalypse/RAMageddon last years 300-400€ mid-price mini PC is now 500-600€. Outside of RAM cost there's processor architecture and features to take into consideration. For example the 5500U is 2020 Zen 2 HyperTransport technology while a 7640HS is Zen 4 Infinity Fabric Architecture. This far

Does anyone know if these mini PCs are good quality for gaming, or which one you would recommend?

get an Aoostar MACO with a 6850H it has OcuLink so you can upgrade the GPU with an AG01 later on it should provide better performance than a Steam Deck.

minipc + vesa mount = a clean all in one setup

I like the build quality and size of the Geekom A6. Unfortunately if yours isn't an older model Geekom has switched to 1x 16GB stick of RAM making these a poor investment during RAMpocalypse/RAMageddon. Single channel memory can reduce processing and graphics performance by up to 40% while buying th

Please help me to choose Mini PC barebone for gaming

I have Gem12+, with the Ryzen 7 8845HS, 64GB RAM and 1TB drive. Very nice miniPC. It got even nicer after I did a repaste, since original thermal paste and its application were subpar. I've also have Radeon RX 9070XT connected through OcuLink when I want to game, but for the last 2-3 weeks I didn't

Looking for budget mini PC to install Bazzite and stream from my desktop

I know a few people who bought the recently released GMKtec M8 PRO 6650H for this purpose. They're running Bazzite OS from a 2nd drive for what's close to Steam Deck performance and EmuDeck for classic console emulation. The negative is soldered 6400MT/s LPDDR5 memory with the positive the x4 4.0 PC
