World's Cheapest Vs. Most Expensive Mini PC

[@eduardovillacis432]

The most expensive Mini Pc would be a fully configured Apple Mac Mini Pro with 64 GB RAM, 14 core CPU 20 core GPU and 8 TB of storage that costs $ 4269

"slide show participation" very funny. nice job as always

[@matt.604]

Soyo can be useful as a Home Assistant server.. but maybe a pi5 would be even better for the same price.

[@janmayenese]

I think I will be the one making the noise if I had to use that computer for anything

[@joaovtaveira]

This is, obvioisly, totally pointless, but a lot of fun, thanks for it.

[@zalibecquerel3463]

Love your T-Shirt. I used to play that game specifically to enjoy the soundtrack! WE HAVE EXPLOSIVE!

[@kusandrzej7973]

Soyo nadal istnieje!!!. Moja pierwsza płyta główna dla Intel 486SX została zrobiona przez Soyo.

[@sigillinux]

I have a soyo m2 mini... early model a bit diff from the one featured... mine has a n3350 or something like that 6gb ram and 64gb emmc. have not found a use for it lol... did put linux on it but still not sure what to do with it

[@tendosingh5682]

If using an external usb drive/enclosure/das it could be a low power storage server. Or networking wise, host pihole.

[@saadmughal5478]

Make a NAS

[@neilquinn]

Ha such an extreme comparison. The best value productivity type machines to me right now are the 7735HS type machines for around $300 if you don't need a lot of gaming performance. The single threaded performance is just so much higher. The little cheap N100 machines are good for file servers.

[@TrusteftTech]

I guess one other advantage of the cheapest is that if someone steals it, it's not as big of a deal as the most expensive. Speaking of which, I think it's an outrage for such a high price to not come with an oculink connection. I realize part of the problem for the price is AMD, but having an oculink connection with this very good CPU, would make it a more tolerable offer.

Didn't Soyo release a prototype AI 370 powered mini to reviewers? It was called the S9. It was supposed to be for sale last August but it's still vaporware in late December. I wonder what the hold-up is?

[@Etchacritic]

The Soyo can play PowerPoints like a champ. 💪

[@zupzop9237]

Struggling with solitaire 😂🤣

[@r0galik]

Can you try to get the SOYO N100 mini? It's probably one of the cheaper N100s, got it for family some time ago, I wonder how it compares against others. And you can change its fan curve!

[@clintwalker1531]

Now for fun, you should've installed lightweight linux on the cheap PC - then see which was more responsive.

[@johnarnold893]

obviously the minis would still be faster.

[@MrChillyZ]

A plus side on the soyo... you can get a windows license for 60$ .... .... if you don't want to go the captain hat route

[@PlayingItWrong]

Finally two equals compared.

[@Gabriel2.0]

E waste

[@pocoapoco2]

$1,100 is the most expensive? Psh. Try a fully upgraded mac mini.

[@KissofDeath63]

i think that the beelink ser9 is a better value than this minisforum

[@Robtech]

Sure is. This one's more expensive so it got picked.

[@Z4KIUS]

is that "the most expensive base model"? cause I'm sure you can go way higher

[@sprockkets]

Lol, Soyo hasn't been around for almost 20 years.

[@johnarnold893]

Somebody in Chyna liked the name I'll bet.

[@bryans8656]

The G3 GMKtec is a much better value than either of those.

[@avidwriter2882]

Maybe they mean browser gaming. Farmville is still a thing yea? The fact for $60 you can get Win 11 and it runs is enough I think? Just for a senior for emails, youtube and AARP browser games?

[@Robtech]

Only if you don't like them very much. Otherwise you'd get them at least an N95.

[@johnarnold893]

@@Robtech I'm a senior and if my i7-8086K gets to slow I'll get me a Beelink and not with some lowball Intel processor either.

[@dualpapayas]

Intel N4000 must be 40 times better than the Intel N100. It's simple math.

[@johnarnold893]

Not true, they're both different families and the N100 is considerably faster with more of everything.

[@shadowbanned4606]

spyware.

[@lweston71]

For $1100 , I’d by the HP mini with an i5 for under a $1000. Good information video. 👍
