Is this a good deal

The R7 H255 is a rebranded 8745HS and not even listed on AMDs official website. Typing or not typing the H isnt important. The official R7 H 260 is the 8845HS upgraded and only slightly faster. The official R7 H250 is slightly slower. In regards to the Aoostar its a R7 H255 like all the rest made in

MINI PC / REGULAR ONLY FOR SIMS 4

Aoostar Maco $600: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G7DCC2XY?th=1 I really recommend raising your budget a bit for this as long term it will be more expensive increasing your budget by 50 or 100 will get you a better product that will last longer and give better performance.

Looking To Upgrade From Laptop, New To Mini PCs

CPU wise yes, GPU wise, the iGPUs will struggle. If you can get a 8000MT/s memory HX 370 config, that will barely match a 1650. You should be able to get a Strix HALO 32GB system for around 1000 USD, but those are rare. Your best bet is 500 USD for a decent miniPC with Occulink (f.e. Aoostar MACO wi

AOOSTAR MACO AMD R7 6850H Mini PC

On the AMD driver, isn't that common? I just looked at a bunch of Aida64 reports I made on Lenovo laptops, and it's listed that way for GPUs in: Ryzen 7 5700U, Ryzen 3 PRO 5450U, Ryzen 5 4500U, Ryzen 5 5500U And, of course, the 6850H MACO. It's not listed that way for the GEM10's Ryzen 7 7840HS. Are

Are there better options than this?

I've tested the H255 of the MACO & the 8845HS of the GEM12+ and am happy with both. The GEM12+ has a more sophisticated construction with separate independent fan cooling system for the chamber with SSD & RAM. Advantage: superior cooling. Disadvantage: another moving part vulnerable to failure. Mayb

Need Advice Choosing a Mini PC for My Daughter

32Gb is overkill for tabs. This option is 24GB and quality. https://www.amazon.com/AOOSTAR-MACO-AMD-Ryzen-OpenClaw/dp/B0GG9S35PC Dont worry about the OpenClaw jazz you don’t have to use it. Comes with Windows pre-installed.

Aoostar GEM12 dead?

I have same issue with my AOOSTAR MACO H255 after a month of use. The system won't power on and Aoostar logo just flashes as long as I hold power button.

Looking for a good performance mini pc for around 500-600 usd!

I dont know much about that brand but that is a good price for that CPU with that much ram. I would suggest looking at the Aoostar MACO R7 Pro 8845HS first just because it has more features. Its $600 on Amazon. The R7 255 version you might be able to find for a few buck less. The R9 version is $640
