Just got this a few days ago. It's tiny. I wiped it and installed Proxmox to play around with. Decent basic device for lighter use. It has been this price for months though.
It idles at 6 W. Light load is 8 W. On startup and heavier load, it will draw up to about 16 W and then settle back down to 6-8 W.
Have to ship warranty repair to china. No USA address . Also they start ignoring you when you qualify for warranty repair. Go with beeline or minisforum
So I'm typing this in Ubuntu on a MeLE quieter 4C right now (fanless) and it's drawing 6-7 watts, even with a couple of tabs open and Slickdeals's ads reloading. (19V x 0.3-0.4amps.
With a you tube running it's up to 11watts.
I just fired up Geekbench6 and it's now at 16watts - I thought it would be higher, as I've lifted the power limit in the BIOS to 30watts and I have a cheap aluminum heatsink sitting on it. I'm pretty happy with the Mele4c - although I have hit a strange bug in windows that locks the MHz to 400 regardless of temp and only cycling sleep states fixes it. But yeah, it seems the N100 and N150 are leaps ahead of the N97 in power draw. I've been really impressed.
Oh, forgot to add. Totally idle with no screen plugged in, it it drops to 3W. It seems to use slightly more power (about a watt) on the USBC-PD port (which is runs at 19V) han on the USB-C 12V port, which it actually seems to want to run at 9V.

I have been pretty lucky with the two mini pc's I bought 18+ months ago (N100, N95). I just picked up a new motherboard to revive an old Deskmini.
Nice. They fully refunded me and let me keep it since I had already put a couple programs with licenses on it. I will find a use for it that does not involve audio out.

Why use windows when you can use a lighter and less bloated operating system.

While my distaste for Windows is formidable, sometimes you have to drive on the same road everyone else drives. Sometimes there are no other viable options. It's unfortunate.

Quote from AngelA7785 :
After a power outage, this mini PC remained off even after the electricity was restored. Is there a BIOS setting that allows it to automatically power on when power is restored? I couldn't find one.
I don't have this item, but usually in BIOS there are options to do this called something like: "Restore on AC/Power Loss" or "AC Power Recovery" that you can flip on.

If the BIOS doesn't have this the other option is just plug it into a smart plug that you can turn on and off remotely.
