Would this Pentium CPU be able to handle 1080p videos without lag?

Should be borderline.
Depends how high bitrate your 1080p is encoded.

Upgraded my SPECS.


Jin Happy with my MSI Cubi

Intel Pentium 3805U @ 1.90GHz USD$130
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 USD$26
931GB TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 SGD$66
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit SGD$45

Low Power Consumption of average 12-15W based on my Kill-A-Watt.

CPU Temperature hover around 60-65 Celsius.
105 Celsius is the max temperature for the CPU as listed on Intel Website.

PC performs very well for Internet, Office and Videos.
I run Guild Wars 2 on Lowest in 1080p and min FPS was 20FPS which is quite playable.

Highly recommended as the best value Entry Level Mini-PC for its performance.

 

[MoneyFace =p]

What's its ideal and max load power?

And how's the noise like?

 

[Entry Level PC]

What's its ideal and max load power?

65W AC Adaptor.
Average Wattage 12W on idle, net surfing and watching videos.
Max wattage I have reached so far is 19W. (15W CPU, 5W from 2.5 HDD + RAM + MOBO maybe)

Maybe can go up to 30W with 2x USB 3 devices?

And how's the noise like?

Very silent unless you are directly next to it.


My only complain is,
CPU 60-65 Celcius.
MOBO 25-30 Celcius
My 2.5 1TB Internal HDD 45-50 Celcius.

I a little humji, feel quite hot although max CPU Temp can tong until 105 Celcius.

So I guess the total damage would be:

Intel Pentium 3805U @ 1.90GHz USD$130
8.00GB Single-Channel DDR3 USD$26
931GB TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 SGD$66
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit SGD$45

130 + 26 + 66 + 45 = USD 267 (~SGD$369)

Price seems good

Nope.
USD$156 (~SGD$220) + SGD$111
= ~SGD330

Which is very competitive vs building an entry level ITX.
But this is smaller, lesser power consumption and less powerful.

Not bad.

I did consider building before but end up saw the Acer so cheap so go try try.

Maybe cosz my build calculations add windows at the 100+ price lol.

Same like how I saw the HP Stream 7 @$99 so cheap go try.
End up CPU too chui gives me a sibei frustrating experience using it due to it being sibei slow and laggy.

This Intel Pentium 3805U quite satki.
I am doing everything on it now except gaming.
My desktop is now my console.
