Air12

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

Helping someone else, went through this earlier in the year. It's not uncommon that some of these entry level Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake mPCs develop USB/HDD problems (I'm looking @ you NucBox G5), although the V1 somewhat stood out. On the bench, the front USB 3.2 ports failed to provide static data th

Have a local business that was in a similar position, this week they're deploying dozens of Geekom Air12 DDR5s. It was there budget choice out of more than 20 candidates, primarily for serviceable DDR5 & full Gen3x4 NVMe. They made their choice before the GMKtec NucBox G10 was released, which is giv

Ok so you first are trying 32Gb 5600MT/s 2Rx8. I hope it works, if not, 1Rx8 24gb will have a very high chance. I'm still researching beelink s13 and gmktec g3 plus on the side, but those have really poor ssd read/write speeds (avg 800mb/s) and even fail completely after a few months according to us

Don't know about ONN devices (check app store) but I use a firetv cube and sticks as well as a chromebook, android mobiles and tablet as well as via a web browser to access Channels DVR and it works fine on them. The Channels DVR server software doesn't take much to run it. From a NAS to old PC's wi

These are actually the same CYX manufactured mPCs (Acemagic, Acemagician, Kamrui, NiPoGi, etc) in different cases. In the past couple years, these Chi-NUC brands haven't been well received when it comes to build quality & customer service 😞 IMHO, the DDR4 Beelink MINI S13 & DDR5 Geekom Air12 are "Be

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

For the best performance, the lowly N150 processor can offer, it should be interfaced with DDR5 memory and PCIe x4 SSD. There is a "Trigkey Key mini" N150 mini-PC (ASIN: B0DSFV33GF). On paper, it supports DDR5 SODIMM memory and dual M.2 2280 SSDs (PCIe 3.0x4/SATA & PCIe 3.0x1). A candidate with DDR5

In 2025, a gaming server is often more dependent on the game(s). The four players, the basic formula is quite simple CPU: 4x cores or greater, @ 3GHz or higher, PassMark multithread score 4000+ 16GB of RAM, preferably dual channel NVMe storage Ethernet connection, 2.5GbE preferred Entry level Intel

First, understand that Alder Lake-N/Twin Lake mPCs are generally "a race to the bottom", where cost-cutting is the goal & expectations for failure can be relatively on. "You get what you pay for..." Alternately, & to some extent "ironically", the Geekom Mini Air12 appears to be in a class of its own
