  5. I am looking for a mini pc that’s mainly for gaming but my computer runs on 144hz and has 32GB of ram so it’s usually fine in most games but in games like beaming drive or gorilla tag on steam vr I need that extra tiny FPS boost. Does anyone know any good mini pc’s for this?

  11. It appears, from reviews, that the GMKtec Mini PC N100 does not carry audio through the HDMI connection. Are there any mini-PCs you know of that do?

  17. New Subscriber here! I picked up a UM780XTX from Minisforum last month for $489.51 barebones , and I use it as my primary PC. Add about $150-250 for RAM and storage, and at a bit over $600, it beats any mini PC out there, except maybe some of the Ryzen 9 7000 series machines. Also, this CPU has Radeon 780M graphics, which is the best integrated graphics on the market and can game fairly well. I’m playing Cyberpunk 2077 on it at 1080p with medium to low settings, but high res textures, and I’m getting ~60fps with FSR Quality turned on. The key to good performance on the graphics is to not skimp on the speed of your RAM. I put 64GB of DDR5 5600MT/s RAM in the machine, and in the bios I dedicated 16GB of this fast RAM as VRAM for the APU. Davinci Resolve runs flawlessly, editing 4k videos without proxies, since it has access to 16GB of VRAM. I realize this is on the expensive side for mini PCs, but man is this thing great! Lastly, if you want even more graphics power, the UM780XTX comes with an Oculink port, so you can setup a fast eGPU via PCI-E direct.

  18. What would you recommend for someone who runs a marketing agency. Anywhere from 3-7 tabs open at any time, some canva work, lots of zoom calls and live streaming etc.

  21. Sadly, you didn’t raise one of the Key Aspects in prospective purchases from different companies: the Warranty.

    The Beelink is a prime example: when ‘getting down in the weeds’ of the Amazon Prime Star system, the Comments from 1 Star and 2 Star Verified Purchasers indicated that IF something goes wrong with the hardware past the 30 Day Return, you are REQUIRED to ship the unit BACK TO the P.R.C. (China). The shipping costs can ADD up rapidly, making the ‘affordable’ Beelink systems very UNAFFORDABLE.

    There are SEVERAL ‘no name’ systems from the P.R.C., which match the Beelink problem: NO USA Service Centers for repair/replacement.

    YT Reviewers are KEEN on reviewing the Hardware, but as we all know, hardware can FAIL, and that is the moment where the ‘rubber meets the road’, cost wise.

    Please take the time to review the Warranty Requirements from several companies, so that your viewers can make informed decisions.

  24. Hello! Which one of these Mini PCs would you recommend for a Game Dev? 

    We aren’t trying to create high graphical games. Maybe something between NES – PS2 era graphics.

  38. Can you know anything about the fy3 mini PC by funyet? I’m looking at that and thinking about buying that one but I can’t find a proper review? Do you know anything about that one?

  45. This aged like milk and in way too short of a time. Basically all of the brands you mentioned are notoriously infected with malware. Im disappointed that it’s not even covered in the video, I feel like that’s definitely a topic you should have touched upon.
