[@sigghum]

Most important factor in these small ali-boxes is their UEFI and amount of spyware in it

[@leoneildy2224]

i would only worry if the user dont know how to reinstall windows. they are still value if you dont game

[@jkoyama]

Minisforum and some other offer barebones which is a positive

[@ExpressITTechTips]

I’d always wipe anything that comes from any vendor. The amount of bloatware you get is never fun

[@pjn2001]

Source : Trust me bro

[@CeasiusC]

​@@leoneildy2224 UEFI is part of the motherboard firmare. A layer deeper than the OS. But everything spies these days so dunno

[@Chris.Davies]

I ordered a G5. Can't wait to get it.

[@cheekster777]

A lot of power in such a compact size for sure. Amazing stuff! Thank you.

[@fireballbea1730]

Great video

[@ExpressITTechTips]

Exciting times for Homelab users quite a few choices on the market now to reduce energy costs and physical footprint

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

There's actually one with good specs that I think I am gonna buy for my music production projects. AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS, 32GB DDR5 5600MHz RAM, 1TB SSD. With the ability to upgrade to 64GB and additional 1TB SSD.

[@KreativeDevices]

[@andrewvickers4487]

+1 for showing us the ugly in the G3 teardown. From the reviews I've watched the other brands don't seem to treat CPU chips like that...

[@tenglie]

Review ASrock x600 please🙏🙏I want your thought, does it worth it?

[@user-wf9wq9kq6u]

Hi! does it have LPDDR5 or normal DDR5? I guess they're single channel?

[@Masteraaa-cb5uj]

Nice

[@AlexSage]

I just bought G5 12gb for my mom for her web browsing... I hope it's not slow...

[@ayoub.harchioui5276]

can you bro do a vid you if we can have two gpu cards amd and nvidia in same pc the amd for gaming but when it come to editing the nvidia will take the work while i saw you saying in all your vids that nvidia is better for editing

[@TokyoNeko8]

I wonder if CoPilot+PC features will work because Microsoft said AI PC needs to have 40 TOPS. Wonder if MS will impose a hardware check.

[@N3tigen]

How about Intel n305 in g5 nano pc 😅

[@Hard_7_Iron]

Why is the heat pipe/sync partially black? Is it getting that hot? The upgradeable aspect of these PC’s is terrific! Sooner or later, Apple is going to have to address this or they will be left behind. We all know it’s only a matter of time before the M1 components start to fail and there’s no way to repair. Interesting video… thanks for all the effort.

[@fesen2]

Looks like overspray from painting the fins, so when you look inside you see black and not bare copper. No the cooler wont get that hot, todays computers are to damn clever and will clock itself down not to take damage.

[@Vj-mi7fi]

I have a thing in mind It’s obvious that mac hardware is inferior to others that’s they supass others in software optimisation If we run Mac OS on pc hardware and then run the premier pro benchmarks Will we be benefiting from powerful hardware of intel / amd with software optimisation of Apple at the same time ? Is it possible ?

[@_dev_null_]

Bet all of those would run great with Arch and Debian. Perfect little home servers, except for the malware

[@janskala22]

What malware if you install your own OS?

I've seen that exact n100 system run at 71°c at 15w power at 100% usage for 10 minutes on ETA prime channel and it never throttled once!! So something isn't going right inside the system!! Maybe a bad paste or it didn't seat properly or something like that. Plus gm tec systems all have adjustable tdp including the ultra CPU family directly in the BIOS ETA prime uses it fairly regularly and rarely uses Intel's tuning app on any systems. Even the n97 should run fine to 12w without any thermal issues it gets up to 80°c i've also seen u300 CPU systems which are 12th generation 5 core 6 thread with duel channel DDR5 and n200 systems all from 6w to 25w in tiny PC format and not throttle so either the Intel tuning app needs tweaking to under volt when increasing the clocks just dragging everything to max then testing isn't the best way to show off the system at it's best. Maybe check out ETA prime videos on these exact systems and see what he is doing to get better results!! And then if you are still throttling or having other issues maybe repaste the CPU and retry because it's not how it's meant to be unfortunately.

[@TokyoNeko8]

I hate new computers having so many USB-A ports and not USB-C

[@riffdex]

Exactly. USB C is not exactly new. Why can’t they get with the program

[@filipskrzekut3096]

Have you ever seen keyboards or mouse for usb-c. Most of gear is still made for ISVs a because every device have it

[@riffdex]

@@filipskrzekut3096 um keyboards and mouse are still primarily made with USB A because computers don’t add USB C ports, not the other way around 😂

[@TokyoNeko8]

@@filipskrzekut3096 kb/m dongles. Not yet because Logi being a pain. They do have usb-c connected devices for charging though. So now I am using BT when mobile and bolt connection on a dock when in office. I have a ton of USB-a to usb-c connectors now too. Just stupid not go all in usb-c I love every piece of tech I carry charges via usb-c too. Less bricks since I can use op GAN chargers and less wires

[@whothefoxcares]

16TB USB thumb drives for under $5 at ally x press is the perfect storage solution for American consumers!

[@SpoonHurler]

I'm writing this message on a pc running on one of these thumbdr....... *everything crashes* 😂

[@amigatommy7]

No usb4 or thunderbolt no sale

[@Arkangel88Mr]

PC, s need to be tools, not luxury toys for morons. Any Pc should be able to perform work tasks and play any game at 75+ FPS. And there shouldn’t be a distinction between Consoles and PCs.

[@halfey]

Totally agree with you there sir. Apple and Sony corrupted many people's mind.

[@MelroyvandenBerg]

Just run Linux already.

[@alphafort]

once again the Intel conspiracy to sneak back into the limelight makes an attempt. Oh well, they need at least one channel.

[@technologyrethinked]

I don't like those big logos and names on it, looks cheap

[@AnonDW40]

drop shipping garbage...

Intel? No thanks
