Hey, ill preface this by saying im new here.

I saw this origimagic c7 on amazon on the surface it looks like a pretty good deal.

Does somebody have any experience with origimagic? The c7 in particular? I cant seem to find many reviews online.

Thanks in advance

hello,
j'ai un minisforum um880 (8845HS et 32 go) sur lequel je fais tourner llama-cp avec des modèles de 12 ou 14B, ça tourne bien, mais c'est très lent (pourtant le gpu est utilisé à 99%) et j'arrive tout juste à du 4T/secondes.
il me semble que, grace au port oculink, je peux connecter un egpu et un peu booster les perfs, quelqu'un a t-il testé ça, avec quel matos ? et quelles perfs ?
merci pour vos commentaires

Basically just that, it seems to be running slower than it should, any help would be super appreciated, ideally if it could play YouTube and crynchyrol! at 4k smoothly that would be nice but it seems v laggy overall when and any advice would be super appreciated (defo gonna dual boot linux when I have the time but for now focusing on windows bc I use it for uni stuff and thats easier on word)

Title. *Minisforum I've been using my Asus Vivobook X510U (i5 8250U) for around 8 years now and I'm thinking of switching to a mini PC due to the laptop market generally being screwed up but still wanting a decent amount of portability.

Reading through the sub has been immensely helpful thus far.

After going through the subreddit and measuring my own circumstances, I've landed on these 3 PCs (though I read that the H255 for the SER9 is dubious, I still saw people having great experiences with the PC)

I also went through the google sheets guide and it seemed like Beelink and Minisforum both had pretty questionable(?) brand scores of 5.5-5.25 and 5 respectively.

Why might that be?

Here's what I intend to use the PC for.

• I will probably not exert the PC very much since I'm not big into extreme AAA gaming, the most I could do is host Minecraft servers with a large modpack or play Cities Skylines 1 modded.
• I will be using Matlab and AutoCAD a lot, probably quite a bit of art/editing software and Godot 2D.
• Programming.
• I might also use local LLMs a bit, but no large-scale image or video generation.
• I will also be using GROMACS, LAMMPS, CP2K and the like- software for running simulations essentially.

I am willing to sacrifice performance for longevity because I will probably have to stick with this computer for the next 6-7 ( heh ) years. Not having upgradeable RAM is not an issue for me since I'll buy a high-RAM version to begin with. Does the soldered RAM for the SER9 cause any reliability issues?

Which PC would you recommend, and how have your experiences been with these mini PCs (or any mid-range mini PC for that matter)?

How important is using an external cooler?

Hi everyone. I’ve been looking for a computer /mini for a while now. I use it mostly to do office work with multitasking and use of AI. I’m looking for something realiable, longlastime and not noisy and stuff. Even tho my budget is quite low and products in my country are quite expensive.

Found this gorli on Amazon for 400€. Is it a good deal?

Here are the core specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H (8 Cores / cm 16 Threads, Zen 3+, up to 4.7 GHz)
GPU: AMD Radeon 680M (Integrated)
RAM: 16GB LPDDR5 6400 MHz Dual-Channel (Non-upgradeable / soldered)
Storage: 512GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD (Upgradable up to 8TB)
OS: Windows 11 Pro
Ports & Extras: 2x Gigabit LAN, Wi-Fi 6, BT 5.3, HDMI 2.1, DP 1.4, USB Type-C, and triple-display support.

Mainly looking for feedback on the brand (Glorlin), thermal performance under load, and if the non-upgradeable 16GB RAM could be a dealbreaker.

Thanks!

So I wanted to look into some PCs for gaming and the only ones around my local area are

(hp prodesk 600 g6 core i5 10th gen 16gb ram mini pc)

(hp elitedesk 800 g6 mini core i5 10th gen 16gb ram)

Both have 256gb of storage. I'm not trying to make it into a full fledged gaming pc or anything specia,l I just want something that runs a bit better than what I'm currently using. If anyone has any suggestions or maybe knew more about this type of thing (and perhaps if they know how it runs) it would mean a lot!

Like the title says this would be my first mini pc.. i already have the screen, mouse, keyboard, mouse pad, etc but no pc yet.

I found this mini pc what do you say/think about it ? Or should i wait until black friday? The price is in cads and leaving me with no money practically. Im looking for a amd 6800h or similar or better for less than 650 cad, it can be used-refurbished or new.

Hey everyone,

I'm thinking about getting the ACEMAGICIAN AM06 Pro with a Ryzen 7 5800U, 32GB RAM and a 512GB SSD for around €429.

I'm pretty new to homelabs and want to get into Proxmox and virtualization. My plan is to run things like Immich, Nextcloud, Pi-hole etc..,

while also playing around with a few VMs, like Windows Server, Windows 11 and Linux.

Before buying it, I'd love to hear from anyone who's been using this mini PC for a while.

How has it held up over time? Any issues with reliability, temperatures or fan noise? And would you recommend it, especially for running 24/7?

Thanks in advance!
