Mr Roberto, I can slot in additional storage space with the Toshiba Sata HDD 500GB? Is it compatible with this mini pc? Grateful for your advice. Alex

[@eclipsedat3am]

Great review. Were you saying that it doesn’t come with an activated version of Windows 11?

[@VISPER01]

I have this pc but the audio will not work what do I do?

[@jonasdarker]

can i stream with this device on twitch 1080p60 with elgato hd 60 x my xbox series x? and also do some video editing and multitask like play spotify and stream at the same time? is it powerful enough to multitask while stream to twitch with a webcam also?

[@Kanivalos80]

N100 looks amazing, my complain is being "single channel only" for the memory. Intel nerfed him on purpose to sell the pricier ones.

[@markbernhardt6281]

Nobody seems to have the N200, what's up with that?

[@DoubleM55]

Yes, i3 series would be pointless, since N100 would be cheaper, more powerful and power efficient.

[@djlouisdeelane]

How do this with OS Ventura ?

[@AKSUN74]

Mini s 5905 Can it upgeade Nvme PCIE SSD??

[@jayeverything]

Any good as a home server for jellyfin?

[@_GarethRossUK]

how are these for video playback? Google TV is no longer viable option for optical spdif toslink in Android 10 and newer it was taken away. I purchased Xiaomi Mi TV Box S Gen 2 and only 2.1 sound is possible so I am looking for Windows 11 box and will use a usb soundcard in future.

[@dfbess]

I am using it for videos and web surfing.. And its playing 1080p without dropped frames And 4k has a few dropped frames but no stutter.

[@racecrashrepeat]

One annoying this is working out which Quicksync version it has. Website states YES !! but which one. i am after version 8 and i cannot believe that intel doesnt mention which versions are with which processor. I want a plex server as i have 4k hdr files with igh bitrates and need hardware transcoding BUT i am after extremely low power consumption and this seems to be very good in that spec. But i dont know about the plex 4khdr transcodes with quicksync. Anyone have an idea?

[@Bareego]

It's Alderlake architecture so I'd guess it's Quicksync version 8 like the rest of the CPUs, just running on 4 E cores.

[@user-ev3ic9iv5e]

Is it suitable for games?

[@aj9675]

With the main OS drive, are all makes of M.2 Nvme's compatible with the Mini S12 pro or is it only recommended to use a certain brand ? Thanks in advance.

[@dfbess]

Everything i have found out the max speed of any m.2 is 900mbs so just use cheap ones ..

[@Roberto7725]

​@@dfbess The motherboard of this mini PC supports only PCIe 3.0 x1 bus, so any NVMe SSD (even PCIe 4.0) is limited to 800-900 MB/second.

[@pixelatednoose3999]

Has anyone tried connecting a drawing tablet or a midi keyboard to this?

[@javiercales5019]

The only problem i have with the N100 is it doesn't support 4K on Netflix and everything looks pixelated in full HD on that app. It could be that their files are compressed, just saying.

[@Z3RN0]

Great vdeo! I just ordered one of these. Excited to see how it will perform. :)

[@diasseitzhan4940]

Price?

[@Z3RN0]

[@intangiblesloth]

How's it been so far? Thinking about ordering one of these as a gift to replace my parents old PC.

[@XXXX-r]

Who it now??

[@Z3RN0]

@@intangiblesloth Sorry I see the message just now. It's great! Fast PC for everyday use. It can play up to 4K video at 60fps no issues. I've had it play all kinds of different nature videos and fireplace, etc. stuff that you can find here on KZbin. I do recommend one of these, even if not exactly same this one. :)

[@jan5310]

Only saw cpu power but please also show total power, thanks

[@adasprogramuotojas2183]

You need to be more specific and do not forget to measure power consumption from the wall.

[@fernandavln38]

Good video!

[@corolex]

Does it support surround sound?

[@justinharris754]

How does thee N100 in this compare to an i3 from 2014 or 2015? I’m running an old HP desktop for my online radio station. It runs the radio software just fine, but when I do live streaming in Streamyard, it gets very laggy, unresponsive, and the fans spin up to the point where it sounds like something is gunna break. I need to replace it, but am on an extremely tight budget, but I know I can afford some of these that have the N100 or similar. But, if it is going to struggle just as much, then it’s not worth it. I don’t know the exact processor I have now, but I know it’s an i3, and I got it in 2014 or 2015.

[@paranoidpanzerpenguin5262]

Pretty similar

[@dim3nt0]

N100 should be 50% to 150% faster depending on workload. Plus modern architecture alows it to decode all modern codecs and resolutions with ease. So 4k hdr h265 media will not make it go nuclear, where i3 from 2015 would crumble.

[@oldtwinsna8347]

Passmark score shows it a dead ringer to an i7-3770 in single core and about 5% less in multi-core performance.

[@sayadinc3533]

Hi that;s enough for live streaming (for Twitch) ?

[@TwiggehTV]

Not even close

[@YaroslavCazux]

Depends on what you want to stream. For streaming games - no. For streaming workplace and work like programming stream - yes.

[@ziggy8757]

can it handle ps2 emulation or nintendo wii emulation? seems like single channel ram is holding this back....

[@kadenabbott3073]

You can install 32gb ddr5

[@bitstart2260]

Can i use for basic video editing?

[@RobinParmar]

Depends on how basic and what software you use. At a minimum I would target a more powerful processor, like the Ryzen 5 5500U. That has double the multicore GPU performance. But in my experience people who at first want "basic" soon want more than that, so a proper computer with GPU is the best recommendation.

[@KenSuh]

This will be great for daily use for internet surfing and youtube or netflix streaming !!!

[@HdHd-kc9ng]

Is it good for VMs. My need is 2-3 VMs

[@RobertoJorgeTech]

If its for simple tasks yes 🙌

[@AVSTechYT]

Can it run OBS studio ?

[@simrangill4555]

It can.

[@miker7939]

Do you happen to remember which Wifi card is used? Intel or Mediatek?

[@jf-go1dx]

Mini S12 Pro --> Wifi/Bluetooth is Intel (the Ethernet is Realtek)

[@dfbess]

Intel

[@PbPomper]

Why do people need more than 1 display or HDMI port on such a device? Probably just cheap to chuck it on. Makes no sense though. I would much rather have an additional NIC instead.

[@TwiggehTV]

Im buying it specifically because it has two HDMI's. I have 2 TV's in my livingroom, one for watching content, and the other for browsing. My 2nd tv also has my chatbox (Chatterino) to watch the chat of twitch livestreams, that way i can have twitch fullscreened on my 1st monitor.

[@MegaSunspark]

I hope it wasn't 95 deg Celsius. Water boils at 100 deg Celsius. 😮 Maybe you meant 95 deg Fahrenheit?

[@jojogarcia5462]

I watch ur videos at 1.25x speed lol

[@jeffp3405]

good suggestion

[@familyden4640]

96C is complete madness, how can this even be launched to the market?

[@LividAxis]

96C is below the max of 105C for the n100. It's fine.

[@familyden4640]

@@LividAxis not at all, frequency is lowered to just a few hundred MHz at such a high temperature and make it super slow.

[@LividAxis]

@@familyden4640 You do realize that it only hit 96C when running Prime95.....right? It's not like it's hitting 96C running excel or watching 4k content.

[@familyden4640]

@@LividAxis I do realize that, and a good device wouldn't behave like that under load. But you get what you paid....Beelink.... so it's normal performance

[@LividAxis]

@@familyden4640 This device is perfectly fine. The fact that you called 96C "madness" exposes how little you truly know about modern mini PC and laptop design.

[@MichaelHFrandsen]

I enjoyed the review, but as soon I noticed the "Trial version" info in the software you use to make money, I stopped.

[@RobertoJorgeTech]

Hi Mickael, where do you see trial version? Thanks

[@MichaelHFrandsen]

@@RobertoJorgeTech @6:35 you show temperature using a trial version. Maybe it's just me but does not look like a trial anymore when it is in a video.
