Mini PCs have become a very popular solution for creating jobs even in very small spaces, although these still still raising doubts at the level of performance, especially. It is clear that, due to their small size, it is not feasible to integrate components that are capable of offering the performance that we could expect from larger equipment, but this does not mean that they are not useful.
In general, most mini PCs on the market are equipped with Intel Celeron processors, specifically with the J4125 and N5105 models, which have four cores and four threads. The former uses the Gemini Lake Refresh architecture and is manufactured using the 14nm process, while the latter is more advanced, having a higher IPC and is manufactured in the 10nm process.
If we are going to buy one, or several, mini PCs, the ideal would be to look for models that have the second chip, that is, with the Intel Celeron N5105, since we will enjoy greater performance while maintaining the same compact size that characterizes this type of equipment. In case anyone has doubts about their exact measurements, I remind you that they measure 72 x 72 x 45 mm. Yes, they even fit in the palm of your hand.
Among the most popular new generation mini PCs is, for example, the Anyrevo model, which maintains a classic design and is available in different configurations, and which can be purchased from only €218.39. For that price, we get a mini PC with Intel Celeron N5105 processor, 8 GB of LPDDR4, 64 GB SSD and activated Windows 10. We will have it ready to use as soon as it arrives, and storage will not be a problem, since we will be able to use a microSD card and we will also have numerous connectors and outputs:
- 2x HDMI 2.0.
- 1xGigabit Ethernet
- 1x USB Type-C.
- 3x USB 3.0 Type-A.
- 1 x 3.5mm jack for audio.
This kit also includes a Intel AC7265 network card, which means it offers Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity. If we need it, we can opt for configurations with more storage capacity. For example, the model with 128 GB only costs 10 euros more, and the 256 GB is priced at 244.39 euros.
