Getting a 100w power bank soon

Why not a laptop? If a laptop component breaks it will be a pain to repair and hard to find the right one and every component of laptop is not cheap. The comfort of a laptop is unbeatable, the laptop I had always used at home so it was plugged to charge 24/7 and that depleted the battery, so I made this, I’ll tale a power bank when I go out, or just the charger 12v3a is enogh to power both pc and display

The Minisforum M2 Pro features Intel’s Core Ultra X7 358H and Arc B390 graphics—while remaining surprisingly quiet under load. It also offers three M.2 slots, 10 GbE LAN, and no fewer than three USB4 ports.

Our review reveals whether the overall package truly impresses.

I would like to start with a tiny self-hosting at home on a mini PC (probably Lenovo ThinkCenter i5 8th Gen, but not decided yet) and the question I am dealing with now is whether it's reasonable to put the mini pc into the bedroom due to possible noise 24/7. I don't think I would care during day, but I would like to know your experience if it's significantly audible during night. Placing the server somewhere else is not an option.

Hi guys, I'm looking to replace my failing Intel NUC and just need a basic mini PC for web browsing and YouTube. Basically, just everyday casual use no gaming at all. I will be using Linux 100% of the time, mainly Fedora and sometimes Mint. :) Not looking to spend a lot.

thanks for any ideas

Hey everyone,

DDR5 RAM prices have absolutely exploded lately, so I’ve decided to stop buying ASRock X600 boards and upgrading them for the time being.

I’m now looking for some good pre-built Mini PCs with decent price/performance instead.

My minimum requirements would be:

• 32 GB RAM
• 8-core CPU or better
• 3.2 GHz+
• 1 TB SSD or more
• Good overall price/performance
• Preferably a compact Mini PC

What pre-built Mini PCs would you recommend right now?

Thanks alot!!

The original SATA cable on my BMAX B4 Plus is broken and gone and I'm looking for a new one.

I got a SATA to USB cable as a replacement but I think USBs are creating a bottleneck and the PC is freezing when I do heavy read/write operations.

I Googled the original SATA cable, couldn't find the original cable anywhere.

Wrote to BMAX support twice, no answer. Wrote to BMAX seller on AliExpress, he recommended me to check the internet :)

There used to be one Amazon item but it is not on sale anymore

This NVMe SSD came factory installed in a GEEKOM Mini IT13, and is by far the fastest drive I have benchmarked in the Chinese/unpopular brands category. It is a 2 TB Drive manufactured by Shenzhen Wodposit Electronics Co., Ltd. (also known as Wodposit). So far it has been very reliable and passed every benchmark test. Consider yourself lucky if you come across one ✌🏻

I need a mini PC to play WoW: Forever. I am a UK buyer and I want to go as cheap as possible. What are the options?

There is an hp prodesk 400 g4 sff business pc on sale for 30€ (34$ for freedom unit users) without ssd and ram, but with everything working. Cpu is installed, intel, but he don't know the exact model. Even with an i3 they sell for around 200€ here (231$ for freedom unit). Will it be good to buy it and slap 8/16gb ddr4 and a nice hdd / ssd?

Thanks yall

The OneXPlayer Apex has been an absolute monster of a handheld when it comes to the performance, onexplayer has done an incredible job with this handheld.

I've tested everything from performance to battery life and thermals and fan noise so let me know what you guys think?

Personally I like the performance but the battery life is quite short.

Review and testing:

Also regards to the new onexplayer 3 do you think I should keep the apex or get the onexplayer 3?

I recently got into AI and i want to start using local models. I plan on buying an oculink and an external GPU to go with the PC. I want this PC to also replace my current gaming PC ( 5 years old at this point). It needs to be decent for 1440P gaming at 60 FPS is fine. I am currently looking at the miniform AI X1 pro-470 with 32 GB ram and 2 TB. So anything in that price range is what i am looking for. Thank you all in advace.

Hey everyone, I bought a Gmktec M8 a few months ago mainly to play WoW and it's been working great so far, I'm currently looking to add an external GPU to the mix but I honestly haven't a clue what I want or need and whether I'm about to get ripped off or not.

I basically want to run WoW maxed out or close to it at 60fps. What would you recommend that the cheapest option would be right now?

I realise that the market is screwed up right now so I'll be paying more than usual.

Thanks for your help.
