[SIC] Really good Ryzen mini PC

[xolatw]

Did you reinstall OS, and are you using the SSD that came with it? I did not manage to find anything because I immediately removed and sold the SSD. Installed my own SSD and performed a clean OS installation. I am also somewhat paranoid, that’s why I prefer a clean slate.

did not reinstall OS and yes using the SSD that came with it, would you recommend reinstalling a clean OS?

i always do a full format for any prebuilts as well

Just bought maibenben recently and immediately downloaded avast and malwarebytes to scan. Just a paranoid habit of mine. Avast didn't find anything but malwarebytes detected 4x PUP.optional.Ludashi so just sharing with everyone here to scan your mini-pc upon receiving. Not very happy with this as I do not have any files on it at all.

All prebuilt comes with preinstalled things. Even windows 10 image comes with unwanted software.

For me, I will recommend a clean OS installation.

I agree with Yusoff as well that most systems come with a lot of preinstalled software, which may look harmless on the surface. But a lot of them are also "stealing" information from your system, though in a "legit" way. So that's why clean installation is the best.

Anyone got his Tiny M75q2 cancelled?
Ordered late May and got charged 2 days ago.
ETA shifted from Sept to Nov and yesterday to July.
Today email me said worldwide wireless shortage....

compensate me with a useless 5% discount code..

 

[yusoffb01]

if no rush just wait for next year model with 5nm, ddr5 and rdna2

But that will be expensive right?

Actually while waiting for Tiny, I had think of Apple M1 macbook but afraid cannot get used to their OS or a i5 1140, 11700 with itx with thunderbolt.
I don't game, so can save on GPU.

If you go with an M1 MacBook Air, I think it is a good buy. I've been using it for 3 months now. To be honest, most OS are designed quite closely, so it should not be that difficult to get used to it. The only thing I struggle is the shortcut keys that I am so used to on Windows. So when I go to Microsoft Office applications, I stumble big time.

How about minis forum pc?
Bigger form factor but cooling should be better.
Got offer now.

Ryzen 4800U

Did you go for this in the end? Specs look really good for a mini pc.

Planning to preorder it for my son. The higher spec variant with 32GB RAM would cost slightly lesser than SGD$1.2K (USD$829 + free worldwide shipping + custom tax).

why would you risk so much for no warranty?

am also getting very pissed off on the delay for the m75q, so i am thinking of cancelling the order and get a deskmini x300 instead

I think there is a shortage of Intel Wifi card that may be causing the delay.

x300 supports better cooling fan. processor support not the latest tho.

its not. they explicitly mentioned the chassis is the root cause

am aware...i dont need latest ryzen..the 4xxx is more than sufficient

and more expensive if i buy deskmini and 4650g individually

i suggest u dont buy deskmini. i had to rma twice. the motherboard doesnt last 1 year. i sold off after the second rma. both a300 and x300 deskmini is the same hardware in a different case. asrock even accidentally release 4000 series firmware in a beta a300 bios.
