I read a good write up and review on one of these minis

Although much slower then a M1, these make great low power plex servers. The igpu's quicksync is plenty capable at transcoding for 3+ users. You could then free up your Mac mini for something else.

How would this compare to an m1 Mac mini for running a Plex server? My server is only used for home. Maybe 2 - 3 viewers at once on different devices max. Usually just 1 or 2 people.

The n100 is far weaker than your m1 mac mini. Is the plex server transcoding? Run plex server on linux to get around limitations if you get the n100.

Can I use this as a Media player?
Also, is there a Remote (just like how we have for Firestick), that we can use to navigate applications in media player?
TIA.

The one you'll see the most often is the Intel Processor N100 (remember, Intel now uses "Intel Processor" for Intel processors that might have been called Pentium or Celeron in years past). They're quad-core chips that use a cluster of four small, high-efficiency E-cores, the exact same cores Intel uses in most of its current-gen desktop and laptop processors. Unlike the Intel Core chips, these Intel Processors don't include any large, fast P-cores to do heavy lifting.
But those E-cores are surprisingly decent compared to the old Atom or Celeron chips that used to go into these kinds of systems.
Intel has compared its E-cores' performance to those of its 6th-generation Core CPUs, codenamed Skylake (head-to-head performance comparisons show the N100 running a bit slower, generally). But Skylake-ish performance is plenty for browsing and office work even in 2024, and the N100 is faster than older 4000-through 6000-series Pentium and Celeron chips by double-digit percentages in both single- and multi-core benchmarks, and they're significantly faster than a Pi 5. All this while still being considerably more power-efficient than Skylake (or its many, many iterations) ever was.

Quote from MrBunny :
They are basically recycled laptops that get to be resold in a new form factor from Chinese companies. They're pretty good as just browsing and media devices, office work, maybe some light emulation. The N100 is Celeron class so it's not too fancy, but it runs smoothly like the old i3s did and essentially replaced their previous position and purpose.
oh that makes sense why they're so cheap, they seem like a bang for your buck thing considering this thing is only 160$

In terms of a Plex server, and I know this is an ignorant question, but whats the difference between the Beelink model you linked and something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...VS6B0&th=1
