the N150 should have been called the N101 or the N 110. Having said that though, its clear that intel need t take a good long look in the mirror when it comes to sensible naming of these products (looking at you, N97)
This is one of those times when you are trying hard to be as fair as possible to the unit, and it does have its upsides, but it's still hard to see value when 2-year old AMD units with much better specs are so close to the price. More importantly, unlike a number of the N100's, this one feels like it got pulled out of the oven before it was fully baked, as there are too many little niggles (that may or may not be fixed with a BIOS udpate).

How come cheap Minis pass the DPC Latency test, but many expensive ones don't? Also, which medium to good performance mini passed the DPC latency test?
It's a worst case scenario with all cores loaded in the background. It shows that there's CPU throttling. The budget minis have low power consumption and are easy to cool. If they don't throttle, they pass the test.
My V1 heated up to max under load / clocked down / crached when pushed each and every time. Inspecting the innards and running up side down without the bottom plate on, I found that the fan was stuck which explains the lackluster turbo / craches under load and the almost silent fan noise regardless the load. Hopefully only mine was faulty but with most reviewers praising the very low noise, I wonder if it's more widespread than just mine. @Robtech: Can you check the one you have?
If yours couldn't support an nvme drive, then neither could their n97 one. Heck, their n97 one might be faster still. Neither product is on their support page. I would avoid.

As if AMD is naturally innocent with the apple-esque naming ripoffs😂😂
@@baoquoc3710 Who is talking about AMD lol

The marketing team need to be completely replaced for that terrible naming
N150 is like: we have much better E cores now - not for you though!
Cool classic T-Shirt, Neo Geo - The future is now 🙂
DDR4 not running in dual channel could explain some of the slower units. LPDDR5 (soldered) runs in dual channel.

Already done during the many hours of testing. Maximum temp recorded is in the review
they should have called it the N105
I'll stick with my GMKtec N100.
I approve of the Neo Geo Shirt.
Does this model also come with the built in BIOS malware? 🤔🤔🤔
The malware test at 02:16 tests for rootkits and none were found.
GTA became a PS2 mod. 😂

2666 RAM and no NVME support kills this for me. DDR5 4800 should be standard. Some penny pinching going on.
you need a long and thin shaft to screw this one
It's not a bad one.
not ace magic 🥲
Yeah really sad to see him still working with that STD of a company.
