The Cheapest & Worst Intel N95 Mini PC Yet - NinKear N9 Review

[@bryans8656]

I would opt for the GMKtec N3 that has the N100 chip and is about the same price. I have one and it's a capable little device. (Since I keep watching and commenting I decided it's time to subscribe).

That fan alone would discount this for me.

Very helpful review, 👍 pity about the fan, 👎 what were they thinking?

[@bsd7342]

I'm honestly surprised so many of the alder lake minis use fans at all. I've seen at least one implementation where the case itself just acts as a giant passive heatsink and it works fine, no noise or moving parts to worry about. But I guess most manufacturers don't want to spend the extra $20 on all that aluminum.

Lying about the USB-C is pretty bad for their PR.

I've got a question, is there any mini pc similar to nuc powered by USB-C PD? Aparat from MeLe super mini pcs of course.

There's no chance for this one - even if it's only those that are maybe under $150US and that Rob has reviewed or mentioned are considered, even if this is all one is willing to spend, there are better options. One expects cut-backs on things at this price range, but things like not controlling the fan which is, forgetting noise, probably going to fail sooner rather than later if it's 100% nonstop, could be fixed so easily. It just feels like this was tossed out with little effort just to see if it would sell.

My N9 from beelink suports dual channel 16 gb

[@Robtech]

I'm assuming you mean the Beelink N5095. That's an older generation, not Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake N95.
