Air12

I am not 80, but am 62. I bought a Geekom Air12 for less than $200 on Amazon and it has been rock solid.

Here I'm using a Geekom Air12 Lite, also with Intel N150, a cheap processor from early 2025 that has QuickSync hardware transcoding (it can decode every format, but encode in HEVC and H264 but not AV1). I don't know if there's a newer CPU at the same price, but this one has a nice linux support nowa

Geekom Air12 Lite owner here. Same as the rest, it's good for a first cheap server with a nice hardware transcoding (for Plex / Jellyfin) and very low power consumption. I used these guides for the LAN driver: https://github.com/dante1613/Motorcomm-YT6801/ I'm running Ubuntu Server, but if you use P

The time span comes from ownership duration of owners who have brought theirs in for diagnostics/repair. Understand that the majority of Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake mPCs is the cost-cutting "race to the bottom". This has been especially true with the AZW manufactured MINI S12 & it's earlier releases. So

For all intents & purposes in comparing Intel QSV, until Phoenix/RDNA3 AMD transcoding for most purposes were non-existent. Not a matter of being worse, simply absent by contemporary standards. While any Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake mPC should suffice, @ $200 USD I've personally become quite fond of the G

With some exceptions to motherboard architecture & stick memory DRAM quality, Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake CPUs can support up to 32GB DDR4/64GB DDR5. Due to limits of the Gracemont/Atom microarchitecture & IMC restraints, the only drawback as utilized memory volume increases, maximum memory bandwidth dec

Recently have a local IT group choose the Geekom Air12 over a number of Chi-NUC competitors for a number of reasons, the primary being build quality. Other advantages included Adata CBDAD6S480016G-B commercial grade 16GB DDR5 SODIMM Gen3x4 supported Lexar LNM620X512G-RNNNU NM620 512GB retail NVMe Re

Debo sonar re hinchabolas con hacer mención de las mini PC's por medio Reddit, pero son un golazo para este tipo de cosas. Las que vienen con Intel N150 se bancan hasta el equivalente de una PlayStation 2 y salen menos de 200 USD (hasta que Trump siga metiendo aranceles...): https://www.geekompc.com

The Beelink MINI S13, Geekom Air12 & GMKtec NucBox G10 are all solid entry level choices, with each supporting full Gen3x4 NVMe SSDs & upgradable RAM. The NucBox G10 provides additional features like HDMI 2.1, a 2nd 2280 Gen3x4 M.2 slot, full function USB Type-C & AMD GCN 5th Gen Radeon RX Vega 8 in

I got a Geekom Air12 for $240 and it works well. Thank you for the suggestions
