HDMI 2.0 does 1080p at 240hz, 1440p at 144hz. You won't be doing 4k gaming on a 780m, but it does 4k @ 60hz.
HDMI 2.1 supports VRR. 2.0 doesn't.

Quote from ShrewdHarrier5336 View quoted comment :
You realize companies will never pay the increase, right? They're going to just pass it on to the consumer, as they have since basically forever.
If a company has to choose between making a sale and not making a sale, they will do what they have to. Not everything pouring out of china is a necessity, you know.

Nice theory, but are you relying on actual empirical data or just indulging in an economist's fever dream? The historical record doesn't support your claim. Your assumption—that companies consistently absorb the full (or even majority) cost of tariffs—is almost never reflected in the data. The only time that happens is under rare, ideal conditions: when a company must make a sale and has enough profit margin to absorb some of the tariff. Even then, they typically eat only a fraction.
In reality, study after study shows that consumers in the receiving country bear most of the cost. According to Amiti et al. (2020) and Fajgelbaum et al. (2020), U.S. consumers absorbed nearly 100% of the cost of the tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war under Trump's first administration. Feng, Han, and Li (2023) found U.S. importers bore 93% of U.S.-imposed tariffs. The numbers are remarkably consistent across time and geography: under normal conditions, consumers absorb between 60% and 90% of the cost. That's the economic consensus, not a debate.
Happy to list more studies if you're actually curious:

No, AMD's iGPUs don't work as well as Intel's for video transcoding under Linux. A cheaper N100 or N150 mini PC will be much better. I have an N100 with 16GB of RAM as my home server and it has a lot of free overhead if I ever want to run more things.
As of June 2023 Plex does support amd GPU support in Linux. At that time it was sdr only. I don't know if that is still true though. https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-med.../30447/589

That said, Plex has made it seem like amd support is "as-is" and doesn't seem to get as much focus as Intel.

That's good to know. Thank you. I thought there were some cases where 2.0 supported vrr but I may be remembering incorrectly.

I think you are right and some devices can, but in terms of AMD PC graphics cards I've only seen 2.1 list support for it.

Quote from PremS6573 View quoted comment :
Dont pay high prices, let the companies pay the increase. Consumers only lose if they pay those prices.
This is like saying "don't pay taxes. Let the govt pay. Consumers lose if they pay taxes."

Tarriffs aren't paid by the companies shipping, they are paid by the recipient. You could say the vendor could reduce their prices to offset costs but even then there's only so much wiggle room. Much of the electronic space has razor thin margins, with the intent being to make money by selling large quantities vs high margins.

But for the sake of argument, let's say this item has high margins. Let's imagine this mini PC costs the vendor $200 their cost to produce one unit. Proposed tarriffs on China are 125-245%. Let's go with the smaller #.

Even if the vendor decided they would sell it at cost and make zero profit, the importer would have to pay $250 tarriffs per unit, meaning to sell it at cost it would need to sell for $450, that's if both the vendor and reseller wanted to make zero profit, which is obviously unrealistic.

I'll take that as a compliment that you think this is compiled by a machine rather than a professor at an R1 university 😊. Either way, it didn't change the fact you made a claim unsupported by any actual data.

If you're going to use this as NAS (network attached storage) keep in mind those large spinning hard drives need somewhere to go such as a USB DAS (Direct attached storage). USB of any flavor is just not reliably stable so you will be at risk of data corruption. It's a shame that nobody makes (at least I cannot find) a consumer grade DAS that uses Oculink instead of USB.

Never heard of usb connection causing data corruptions. In fact there are plenty of usb Das offerings on the market. Using oculink for Das is overkill since you'd never need that much bandwidth for Das purposes.

I have similar ones in a proxmox cluster and they work great. Powerful and quiet.
