The issue with "Future Proof" PCs is choosing CPUs from 2020-2021 with DDR4 memory & PCIe 3.0 data support. Of the APUs above, the 5825U is the most powerful with the greatest graphics performance, although it took a "quick backseat" once the next generation arrived the following year. RAM is an imp

Gmktec m7 and m5

This is correct. The only things in common between the GMKtec M7 and M5 is the brand, 16 thread CPU, two RAM slots, and dual 2.5GB ethernet which is barely anything. If they were the same computer, they would have the same name. Their differences are size, different 6850H vs 5825U or 5700U CPU, diff

What's the best mini PC for basic office productivity for around $500-700 USD?

I just got the GMKtec M5 Plus as my home office machine. Got the 32GB version. It's screaming fast. Highly recommended. Everything now days uses a ton of RAM. Going from 16 to 32GB has made everything smoother.

Feedback for proposed Proxmox infrastructure

Beelink Mini S12, are these the N95/100/150 versions? if so they are the wrong MiniPCs for this.

Gmktec m7 and m5

If it's an actual NucBox M5 5700U, the 2020 Lucienne Zen 2 APU is showing it age when compared to the later NucBox M5 Plus Zen 3/Infinity Fabric Architecture 5825U. The M5 is an older GMKtec platform when compared to the NucBox M7, with the M5's GCN 5th Gen Radeon RX Vega 8 integrated graphics being

Help choosing a quiet mini PC for living room server

I own M5 plus so I will speak mostly to that. You can see my own initial experience with it here. You might experience something similar, but with a little bit of elbow grease it is easy to overcome. There are several solutions proposed there and if you search you will find many mod examples to impr

Ryzen 7 5825u Vs 6800H

U series is a low-power laptop chip. H series is a “normal” power laptop chip. U series will be lower power, lower performance but lower heat/noise. H series will be more powerful but at the expense of heat/noise. 5825U definitely supports 32GB and NVMe (albeit, Gen 3 so not the fastest). I have 3 5

Any listing that states that a Zen 3 Ryzen 5 7430U is equivalent to a Zen 3 Ryzen 7 5850U is being dishonest & should be avoided.
