It's amazing how low the prices for mini PCs are getting. I'm hoping that a "gaming" mini PC comes out for mid-level games around the $500 price point later in the year. Fingers crossed.
They're already here. Checkout the GMKtec K8 Plus mini PC which is $523 with 32GB RAM and 1TB storage, it's also available barebone for $390 (no RAM/SSD/OS). Thanks to the integrated 780M graphic unit it can play current AAA games. It even has an OCuLink port so a more powerful external GPU card can be used.

what issues did you have? all i need is for it to be able to run 50 browser tabs while also having windows word and excel open. nothing heavy duty

it should be fine.
i got a n100 dreamfire in jan 12g ddr4/512ssd @120
and till today it works fast ... like 5 second turn on to load login open chrome and reply email.. fast..

i use it specifically for email, browse - youtube, excel and word..
so basic office/business work. - about 15 chrome windows open give or take plus youtube1080p @ 3x speed.. loads and works fine.

if my n95 can do it .... this n150 should be better. dont expect to do video or large banner format psd editing on this.. it may or may not go smooth ... i didnt buy this to play games or call of duty / audio video edit.

just bought this n150 12g-DDR5 for office - should be flawless. with time technology gets better faster and cheaper.

Would frigate run smoothly on N95/N150? Its object detection is compute hungry.

Yeah, but as I've mentioned in prior threads, they're lousy as Windows PCs. If you want a PC to use on your desktop and not with Linux, I'd spend a little more on one of the Ryzen mini PCs. The N95 and N150 are not great.
AMD CPUs don't offer HW transcoding.
I'd wager a vast majority of purchases are for things like plex... opnsense/pfsense... nas (4x nvme version)... things that stay on 24/7 but sip power.

I'm running a fairly active, public facing, website with this exact device. The WAMP stack is working very admirably (10x the speed of the legacy server it replaced).

These PCs are great for general use applications (email, web surfing, youtube, MS Office, photo editing, etc.) and can even be used to do some light 1080p video editing. They're also great for retro arcade/console gaming or playing some older PC games at lower resolutions/settings.

You might want to consider getting a laptop instead since you'll spend about the same once you add a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Most laptops will be more powerful than the N150 CPU used in this mini PC.
There's another (extremely) important factor to consider....reliability! These cookie-cutter, obscure brand mini-pc's are destined to fail prematurely! There are numerous complaints about issues developing within just a few months....and good luck with getting any real support from these sellers/manufacturers!


The majority of them don't even have a US support presence and expect you to rely upon Amazon (a joke)! 30-days is basically useless (unless it fails right out of the box)! Regardless of what you spend, it's the same, poor design (especially where heat mitigation is concerned). Cute and convenient?....yes. Practical?....NO!


A laptop (or a real desktop PC/small form factor PC) from a real computer manufacturer (vs. one of many highly questionable, obscure brand mini-pc's) is a far better option! Especially if you're a power-user who can invest hundreds of dollars....which is even more impractical if it's being spent on one of these no-name (in the real PC industry) products!


There's a good reason why these
cookie-cutter devices aren't even considered for review by credible, professional sources.

This will work with game streaming to a TV, though I would use a wired LAN connection when doing so to keep latency as low as possible. Just be aware this has an HDMI 2.0 port so it's limited to 60Hz at 4K resolution.
Thanks very much for the reply. I will most likely have to look into a MoCA setup.

Technology may get "cheaper"....but real quality-built products (from real computer manufacturers vs. these obscure cookie-cutter manufacturers) remain more expensive....because they're built better, are far more reliable, and are actually supported by their manufacturers! These end up being throw-aways much sooner than you'd expect (or deserve)!

I used an off brand Zotac BI320 (Celeron 2957U CPU) mini PC since 2014 as a 24/7 media/NAS server without issue. I recently replaced it with an Aoostar N1 Pro (N150) because Windows 10 will be end of life on Oct 14, 2025. The Aoostar apparently uses an updated motherboard from this mini PC which has been upgraded to dual Intel 2.5Gbps LAN and full Type C USB (Display, Power, Data). Since these are low powered PCs they'll have better reliability than more powerful PCs.

You do realize this is a low price, low power (6-25 watts), all in one mini PC. If one cares about support, they can buy from a bigger brand and pay $100-200 more. I've owned 15 PCs since the mid 80s and only had a few issues after years of use - 1 failed HDD, 1 failed SSD, 1 failed power supply, 1 failed graphics card. I never had to use support for these issues since they were years out of warranty.

Again, this is a low price, low power, all in one mini-PC. They're not designed for power users and don't cost hundreds of dollars. GMKtec is considered a well know brand in the mini-PC market.

You do realize that there are people on youtube that review a lot more mini PCs than PCMag. There are also several credible/professional websites that have reviewed GMKtec mini PCs. Seems like you have a lot of hate for some reason along with using lots of exclamation point. Relax, it's a $150 mini PC you won't buy but others will.
