Anyone using mini PC and find the minipc unstable?

[Tony.Manero]

Asus and gigabyte pc motherboard also max 2-3 years of bios update.

But I think their updates are good. Really do solve problems. Or improve something

Beeline recently launched new minipc with amd 8845hs or Intel 125h. Reviews said super quiet and do not reach 90C under max load.

Do not needs to update pc bios unless facing stability issues. Most are microcodes updates or security fixes. anyway.

No complaints.

Just buy dell mini pc, choose a good monitor, top up enough ram, get their extended warranty if good price

Any issues before warranty expire
They will come down and replace

No headache

If don't want new
Buy used mini pc from good brands
Those are built to last
Use and throw when done

Wait for PC show in September.

Usually Asus will have a few mini pc models to choose from.

 

[Tony.Manero]

Now Intel has core 7 and core 9 with arc igpu. While benchmarks lose to amd 790M, at least the gap has narrowed.

 

[leonaheidern]

is there a mini pc that can do Netflix browser at 4k.

the household thing is irritating as hell

kodi Netflix plugin only does 576P

I would believe anything with arc or 790M will be able to do that. Others can confirm if it can
