[SIC] Really good Ryzen mini PC

[flame2000]

Anyone using this Biostar B550T-Silver ITX motherboard? I know Biostar is not a first choice for many. It's a late comer to ITX release and the spec & price are pretty good. So far I have only seen one review in Thai and it looks good.
Somehow this brand just reminds of the days when ABIT and Biostar were still pretty common.

id rather get the asrock b550m-itx/ac if it doesnt cost much more. this biostar board uses discrete mosfets for power delivery, which will run hotter than power stages, some more the heatsink also looks about the same size, if not smaller than the asrock board. i guess it shouldnt matter if ur putting just 65w tdp cpus into it, but it does hurt upgradeability.

I see. Thanks for the advice. I'll keep a lookout for the Asrock board if there's any sale during black Friday.

I think the Biostar silver series uses DRMOS instead of discrete MOSFETs as advertised on their product site.
The Racing series motherboard uses the discrete MOSFETs as some reviews have shown.
I hope to see more detail reviews. Looking to build another budget PC.

Did you reformat it?

Nope, Not sure why the vendor partition it to c, d and e, I repartitions to c 200gb, and d use up the reminder storage space think is around 280gb. Just installed standard office, zoom, and teams for my kids HBL. The only issue I have is the trackpad cannot right click or hold and drag object. Need to figure out how to resolve this issue.

Received the cheap $200+ T-Bao laptop but not sure why the trackpad not working after reinstalling Windows. (prob need to go troubleshoot).

legit laptop with specs stated at really good price.

Here is a driver backup. Doesn't seem to be using any secific trackpad drivers

Try this driver. Might help you solve the problem

It's here!

Feels cheap but for $205, it's value for money!

Thanks for sharing this deal.

Edit: The default wifi card is 802.11AC. What is the cheapest way to get it to AX? buy an external WIFI USB?

Anyone did some benchmark test with cpu-z bench test and geekbench?

I did and noted when the T-Bao X10 laptop when connected to AC power the performance drop and when it run on battery it run on the correct performance what a 3150u should get.

Anyway in the bios to increase the gpu ram?

FYI, the laptop license can activate wind 10 pro and the ram speed can set to 2666mhz.

For those who bought the tbook x10... you can charge if you buy usb c to 3.0 x 1.0 barrel

charging rate is slow, so a cheap $10 essager 48w pd charger is enough

not really anything special. my 7 yr old lenovo with the rectangular charging port also can charge through usbc with adapter.

better idea to buy usbc to usbc cable then buy the correct adaptor, instead of buying a niche cable like this one, at least when not charging the laptop can charge other devices with the same cable also.

it has metal lid and base, plastic palm rest, just like acer swift.

open up and see if adapter is removable. if yes get intel ax210. the built in one is a bit slow
