[SIC] Really good Ryzen mini PC

[watzup_ken]

is there any AMD option in the region of larkbox pricing?

Pricing wise, the Larkbox appears cheap. But under the hood, the old Ryzen 2xxx series is a lot faster than the Intel Celeron/ Pentium silver. Between the 2, I feel the Maibenben MiniPC is a much better deal when it can be as cheap as 350 to 360 bucks, though without an activated Win10.

And is the wifi card upgradeable? And what is the stock wifi card? Thank you.

Yes, the type C supports display out for a total of 3 display ports on the PC25. 2 rear 1 front.

Actually if it fails so fast for you, you have the option to return it. I've been using mine for a couple of months now, so far so good.

Yup, that was also my concern when I was considering this model. In my opinion, I feel the cooling solution is insufficient especially when, (1) there isn't a lot of vents for the cooler to suck cool air in, and (2) the heatsink is too small for higher end APUs.

No harm finding out. Better to return it if it doesn't work for you.

Could it be a TV problem? I ran into an issue with my Lenovo laptop in the past where it was very picky with the display used. It simply refuses to display anything on my monitor but works fine when tested on my TV even with the same cable.

Not 15 days? It is a LazMall store though.

Lazada doesn't sell barebone unit.
I buy for around SGD$280 from Aliexpress for Barebone Unit cos I already have my own RAM and SSD/HDD.

After my bad experience,
I am unlikely to buy MAIBENBEN again.

They suppose to have service centre in SG,
but KNN like totally uncontactable with no support put for show only.

thanks for the recommendations guys. I ended up buying larkbox pro on lzd cause it was 200 after all the discounts by lazada since I'm only using it as a spare PC

 

[bellick]

10% discount can be found online quite easily.

There are different discount for different category products.
eg The 20% for Legion Laptop given by Sales team had expired and couldn't used it on Legion but still able to used it on Tiny series.

Below are the codes that I had tried for Legion 2021 and Tiny (Which might be able to use for other models too)
HZCNSALE previously 30%, now is 10% (Legion 2021 cannot use)
Coupon2 10% Tiny & Legion 2021
Coupon4 10% Tiny
Coupon5 10% Tiny
YAHOO 10% Tiny
SHOPBACKAMD 10% (Legion 2021 cannot use)
BIRTHDAY 20% previously given for Legion 2021 20% but expired (Can be used for TIny 20%)

For Bros pm or asking about my cart, it's a 25% Tiny/15% Legion 2021 code which I'm unable to share for some reason.

I had placed another order with 32GB upgrade on the same night and managed to get my 1st order cancelled with Lenovo.

Previously I had got the Legion 5 Pro with 22% discount and find it overkill for my use as I don't game.
Sold the sealed set@$231 below retail price and got $457.50 profit.
Therefore the final price I paid for this M75q Gen2 is $623.05 with 5 years onsite.
Only question Now is.....will my order be fulfill and when will they ship out
Edit: ETA September 2021 for my order.......

need some advice.. quite a computer noob cuz for the past 10 years I just buy the standard macbook pro without much consideration for specs.. now looking to get a desktop.

Main usage will be just for trading, running multiple chart windows on tradingview as well as MT4. Occasional youtube streaming in the background and no gaming at all.

Should I go for the Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7? Also, will 16gb ram be enough or should i go for 32gb?

Thanks in advance
