There was a video about a prototype n100 board here in the channel few months ago. But I'm not sure, if these will be better value than some mini pc. I got a very small cube form factor machine "T8Plus" with n100 cpu, 16GB lpddr5, 512GB m.2 sata ssd. It has 3 hdmi and 3 usb3 and 2 gigabit lan. Also If I want, I can remove the plastic case and I get a very small board. Also it comes with a 30W power adapter. This was about 110 usd on black friday weeks on aliexpress. Also I have on the way a barbone n100 based, 4x 2.5Gbps lan, passive cooled router form factor machine for 125 usd, ordered with some luck on cyber monday sales. So, I think you can find some very nice n100 machine in different form factor, if you don't want raspberry pi like appereance.
For $99 with some screen, controller and battery this would make quite capable handheld console that could cost around the price of Switch lite when finished. It's really interesting. I wish I had 3D printer.
@@eisregenhaha You can 3D print case. If you have some basic CAD or 3D Graphic skills you can design and print case for cheap so the things you absolutely have to buy is screen, battery and controller.
@@JerziTBoss thats what i was expecting anyway, but almost nobody has a 3d printer and then youd need to buy the material fro that too. I went with my calculation with prices from 3dprinter services online which ship your stuff to you, it would probably be in the 300-400$ range since again, those small displays are crazy expensive. I'd just get a ayn loki 2 with the snapdragon8gen2 instead of making a handheld with this. Its arm and android but soon there will be apps that can run windows games on android with projects like cassia
I have recently (like 6 days ago!) bought an ITX board, the "GIGABYTE N5105I H R1.0". I've installed LAKKA 5.0 distro and it's running absolutely great with Vulkan. LAKKA 5.0 is simply amazing.
Wow this is a really nice SBC! Thanks for sharing. PS2 emulation test would be great to see. Curious if it can run it. Would you do a video or guide on emulator install for this?
The initial excitement might well need some tempering when you look at the wider picture. There seems a comparison screaming out for consideration, a head to head performance comparison with the Raspberry Pi 5 8Gb and Orange Pi 5 8Gb. The level of I/O seems very close in terms of GPIO and superior in other areas. The N5105 is Jasper Lake, so no AV1 but as I has said a while back, the Intel bins for Jasper lake will get cleared out by sub $100 products just like this. However, when I look at one of these from a Mini PC perspective, the value becomes eroded. If you look at what you can buy with an N100 Alder lake onboard, with NVME storage, then these boards don't offer the value that they initially seem to. N100 boxes with 16Gb and onboard storage up to 512Gb can be had for less than the most expensive board here. The PCIE 3.0 NVME and WiFi slots mean upgradeable options if required. Being an X86 board, it is much less hassle free than ARM based boards out of the box, so for a tinkerer than prefers the least amount of hassle and wants to avail themselves of all the I/O available, it might appeal. But if your need a are satisfied by the average Mini PC, look elsewhere for the N100 (and maybe even the N95, another processor that will very soon need to hit the clearance shelves and bins). I would definitely be keener to see an Alder lake onboard but I doubt that the manufacturer would be able to offer enough value to make it worthwhile.
Give your kids sonething a litle beter tbh, an xbox sreries s switch lite or even an older used cole would be a lot better than given them that. As a kid I had an i3 8130u hp laptop that was cheap as hell and a lot faster then that. I wouldn't want to make a kid expericence even worse performance when you can get better stuff.
Really nice alternate choice for auto applications due to size and power consumption. Pair this with an enclosure and 12v power conditioner and you're look at under $250
This is PRECISELY what we need to build DIY steam decks with minimal effort. MIPI is awesome. So many high quality and inexpensive mipi displays on the market.
I'm thinking to do some portable stuff with a n100... if there was something on the market for 200€ It would beat almost all arm devices and be great for emulation and indie/10 years old games
Steam deck beats this hands down when it comes to power though. Deck can play current aaa games. This won't come close. Still neat little versatile board though.
Nice deal. Having an option with more than 8GB is pretty great. The high end option is still cheaper than a LattePanda Delta, which I can see this contending with.
I've got the Delta. Super nice, though still looking for what to do with it. Honestly? Decide based on the peripheral options. This one has standardized uart plugs and some interesting direct power options, and feels more like a robotics or home automation board with a DSI display. Vs the Delta, which runs off USB C, has laptop ports like eDP, plus an Arduino subsystem with a ton of exposed gpio for sensors or electronics projects. And the Delta looks sweet :P
Thank you for your input. I believe the Raspberry Pi has met its end. Well, I would have been delighted if you had tested the whole thing with Garuda Linux (Gaming Edition). I suggested Garuda Linux because of the optimized ZEN kernel, and "Gaming Edition" because it includes everything you probably need for your channel right away (Emulators, Drivers, Kalibration for Joypads/sticks etc.. ). I'm interested in seeing how much performance one can really squeeze out with the ZEN kernel. Windows 11 seems more like a bottleneck. Still, great work, and for me, it's definitely the end of the road for the Raspberry Pi.
RPi doesn't seem that appealing these days indeed. Windows 11 is kind of overkill for this little guy for sure. If I had to go the Windows route, I would go with Windows 10 LTSC, but Linux would run great on this thing and older games run better on Linux to begin with.
Something I am always interested in: Jellyfin, and on the fly conversion into different bitrates for browser access (rather than the app and official jellyfin player). Can it do one, or two movies at the same time for example, into h264 for browser playback. Curious about how the Pi 5 will handle that, since I got my Pi 4 as a Jellyfin server and it really needs the app installed.
i heard 11th gen celerons are good for that sort of stuff. I've digged around for a long time about this stuff and they usually come up for a ultra low power *arr stations. I'd prefer an n95 or n100 rn but at this price this is stupid not to cope for a travelling media box
I am having a hard time seeing why this would be exciting at all. Once you added all the storage, wifi, etc. Will run you at least $150 without a case. But for that price you are really close to get a ready to go N100 system with DDR5.... and it will come with a case too. If all you do is emulation. This thing only makes sense for specific projects needed those internal headers.
@@marcusracerracer Believe me, that's not niche at all. But what's awkward about using this as an arcade brain is that it is over power for classic 2D arcade games. There are cheaper and arguably better options than this for those. But this board is not powerful enough for most of the 3D arcade games, that's not the NAOMI variants. (Which has a very nice, lower CPU intensive emulator). Basically any 3D games that are only supported by MAME are very CPU demanding.
Fixed description: In This video we take a look at the all new Youyeetoo X1 X86 Single Board Computer that "runs Windows" 11 or Linux! This tiny SBC is powered by an Intel CPU and "Backed" by up to 16GB or ram!
My current dream is to have plenty of SBC's like this (its ok if bigger up to itx size) but with Ryzen 7840u, 16gb dual channel, 480gb to 1tb storage. It will be perfect for my current computer rental shop. Or the rumored 7000G...
There are loads of mini PCs that may be of interest to you for something like that, given they have a full case already. I've seen loads with SoCs ranging from Celerons like these to the 7840U or 13900H. If you go for the more standard 1L office PC route, there are some AM4-based socketed systems that will happily take a 4750GE or 5700G.
@@DigitalJedi thank you for the ideas. i already know there are capable mini pc's for my use case. i was just hoping i get something better for more future proof, getting on chip rdna 3.5 would certainly give longer support not to mention more graphics power ^_^
Pretty board and the price is there. No configuration needed, no recompiling needed,you get what you expect. I wish those just flood the market, hope some AMD ones as well.
It would be great if you tested this in Linux. I'm also interested in a board's long-term OS kernel/driver support (i.e. updates) on Linux. This one is x86, so it will be good for a decade, but a lot of the ARM boards seem to have spotty support, except for Raspberry Pi's. of course.
@@merthyr1831 first thing I thought about. It's 11th gen, so it can encode and decode pretty much everything. I believe it can even decode AV1 (but not encode it) via Intel Quicksync.
Id love to see pcsx2 performance. Maybe also comparing linux vs windows for performance since its a pretty low end device that may produce some varied results
Very cool! Yes I'm interested in Linux Mint install. I just switched over to Linux this week and I'd like to learn more about Linux emulation. As a Deejay hobbies, I'm interested to know what if something like this will run serato or even virtual DJ. And if not, what upgrades could I make in order for that to work. Like this attached to a phone screen and a small dj midi controller and maybe even a portable power source.
I know you are not a huge fan or player of rythm games, but can you test some Clone Hero or YARG with this SBC? You can turn on the bot for multiple players(maximum of 4) for the benchmarks. It is a really good PC to build a Guitar Hero/Rock Band/Clone Hero/YARG arcade with this one running in 1080p 120hz (if possible with tweaks). I like the vid so much! Keep up your good work man!❤
I've really been waiting for a SBC that I can put into an retro laptop, hook up a big battery, connect up a modern 1080P or 4K panel put into the original housing and have it run windows 11. Old school looks with modern power.
You get the same processing power from an old Intel Q9450 from '08. I get that its small and x86, but there is a billion metric tons of E-Waste out there that is as fast or faster and free. EP is a good tech reviewer, but sometimes I take odds with his hyping the next new thing. Moore's law has failed us for the time being, but marketing sure hasn't.
Older PCs chug more power than these boards. Cheaper bills and better for the environment. There's definitely a place for "upcycling" older hardware though
@@nikobellic570 1KW costs me about $0.10. Even if you used an older free e-waste computer every day of the year that's maybe $40 extra in electricity per year difference, but likely half that for the average user. We aren't talking about 24x7 servers. Much more carbon is released creating the new e-waste and then stuffing the old e-waste into the ground, and all for no performance advantage. I don't care if you don't care, but it doesn't change the analysis.
Sorry, this is unrelated to your video, but at 4:51, I see my church [Iglesia Ni Cristo/Church Of Christ] in the bottom left thumbnail. What are the odds! 😅
this might be the one for an idea thats been floating around in my head. I've been wanting to build an sbc gaming system for a bit. a 16/256 plus an adapter to stick a video card in that m.2 slot, should run games on one of those ipad displays nicely
@ETA PRIME, I was wondering if you could possibly find a way to install that little beauty into the back of a portable screen so as to turn it into an SBC AIO unit, while still enabling both the screen and the SBC inside to be worked on/repaired if needs be. And also keep each IO port accessible from the outside, too. Think you feel up to the challenge? If you manage to succeed, post it and tag me so I know how you did: who knows? I might even buy it off of you if you don't care to keep it- although it'll be a year or two working hard at my pace with two seasonal jobs before I could pay you properly. (dishwashing at $10/hr in Winter; local streetside cub & gutter cleanup at $6/hr from Spring-Fall/Autumn) Please keep in touch! Love your tech videos, especially SBC and mini stick PC reviews!
Thanks for the video. $99 for a N5105 is good. My little kids using N6005, it's faster than N5105. Looking for a 8505 or N200 to replace the N6005. Seems that the 3Ghz Pi5 is still can not catch up with the little baby x86...
I’m curious, can you install an older Windows OS and just slap it onto the back of a TV and have it as a self contained device for watching ripped DVDs, emulation and so on?
Boy. After the RPi5 kinda left me a little underwhelmed, this is really nice looking. I'd really like to see how this can handle PS2 and linux performance in general.
No. That didn't come til Tiger Lake "On 13 August 2020, Intel announced that their Intel Xe-LP GPU in Tiger Lake will be their first product to include AV1 fixed-function hardware decoding."
@etaprime is there any chance you'd go back to the minisforum b550 and pair it with an intel arc a750, for some reason my dock is not detecting it i have tried everything, looked into every single forum, i was hoping if there's anyone that can make it work it has to be you...hope you'd consider making another video about this particular setup if possible and thank you... i love everything you do i'm big fan.
I like this little board, for the money its very decent! What do you think of the posibility of making it a handheld? I have a beautiful 7 inch ips panel here
At first when i saw the celeron cpu, i dismissed this, but then when i saw all the gpio, i thought to myself.. actually that's not too bad. The NFC really surprised me. Now then, for me, if i wanted to make my own starbound/terraria/minecraft server, i'd want at least 8GB of ram... And if i were to go 16GB, it might just be cheaper to get a used thinclient off ebay.
Hi can we run XP & 7 on this SBC? Would this SBC be powerful enough for decent DOS emulation (Blood, DN3D, Shadow Warrior) and PS1 &2? Which is best for emulation - Windows / Linux / Android? Can Windows and Linux dual boot on this SBC? Do the manufacturer sell a case for this SBC?
This is excellent for $99. Would be nicer if it was an n95 or n100 but the 5150 is still a solid choice.
I hope for a refresh with N100 because the DDR5 can make a difference in some games.
Indeed with a Intel N100 it would be even more powerful and use about as much wattage as a RPI
There was a video about a prototype n100 board here in the channel few months ago.
But I'm not sure, if these will be better value than some mini pc. I got a very small cube form factor machine "T8Plus" with n100 cpu, 16GB lpddr5, 512GB m.2 sata ssd.

2.9ghz for $99 is a steal. The price is really good.
Can this do Dolby atmos audio pass through using kody to replace NVIDIA shield?
We definitely need emulation video if you don't mind
How the heck do you wired this for POE? Something like this would be great for an edge device or just a poe powered TV box.
Sorry, this is unrelated to your video, but at 4:51, I see my church [Iglesia Ni Cristo/Church Of Christ] in the bottom left thumbnail. What are the odds! 😅
That looks awesome! How is fan noise and idle power consumption?
Would be good to program some GPIO pins to flash and LED on/off.
really want this to use as a travel router but i'm scared of Karens false reporting me in the airport thinking its a bomb lol
this might be the one for an idea thats been floating around in my head. I've been wanting to build an sbc gaming system for a bit. a 16/256 plus an adapter to stick a video card in that m.2 slot, should run games on one of those ipad displays nicely
@ETA PRIME, I was wondering if you could possibly find a way to install that little beauty into the back of a portable screen so as to turn it into an SBC AIO unit, while still enabling both the screen and the SBC inside to be worked on/repaired if needs be. And also keep each IO port accessible from the outside, too.
Think you feel up to the challenge? If you manage to succeed, post it and tag me so I know how you did: who knows? I might even buy it off of you if you don't care to keep it- although it'll be a year or two working hard at my pace with two seasonal jobs before I could pay you properly. (dishwashing at $10/hr in Winter; local streetside cub & gutter cleanup at $6/hr from Spring-Fall/Autumn)
Please keep in touch! Love your tech videos, especially SBC and mini stick PC reviews!
Thanks for the video.
$99 for a N5105 is good. My little kids using N6005, it's faster than N5105. Looking for a 8505 or N200 to replace the N6005.
Seems that the 3Ghz Pi5 is still can not catch up with the little baby x86...
I’m curious, can you install an older Windows OS and just slap it onto the back of a TV and have it as a self contained device for watching ripped DVDs, emulation and so on?
Don't see why not?
How did you up the TDP to 18w, running it as a small home server but power is a thing when you run almost 25 programms on it.
Does it have all the EUFI stiff for win11 or do you have to do the LAB registry hack?
Boy. After the RPi5 kinda left me a little underwhelmed, this is really nice looking. I'd really like to see how this can handle PS2 and linux performance in general.
This seems like it would work in my legends pinball machine to run Pinball FX3. Any thoughts on how that might perform? Ran Skyrim pretty good.
it seems like a great cluster for a home server, or as a cloud manager.
Nice vídeo.
Can you use virtualization with it?
I would like to know if I can use some virtual machines with it.
Thank you.
XCP-ng or QEMU/KVM on it 🤔
PLZ DO LINUX and Xbox emulation!!! Would love to see it
Can you test linux & Batocera up to ps2 or xbox360?
Nice video, btw is it possible to upgrade the cpu?
Probably soldered on.
How does this compare against equivalent priced ARM based SBCs - like Orange Pi 5?
One question: AV1 hardware support?🤔
No. That didn't come til Tiger Lake "On 13 August 2020, Intel announced that their Intel Xe-LP GPU in Tiger Lake will be their first product to include AV1 fixed-function hardware decoding."
@@garydeluce464 Is its possible on Raspberry Pi 5?🤔
thanks for letting us know about it- now the prices have gone up as expected - TH-camRS>>>> SMH
can you tell on your videos if single or dual channel Ram, thanks
If this thing can play Final Fantasy XI, I would soooooo get one.
I would love to see 86box or pcem emulation on these x86 boards
i would like to see how this thing would perform with steam OS
What emulator did you use for Sega Saturn?
Have we seen any low end boards with AV1 en/decode?
@etaprime have you done a video on this with Linux retro gaming ?
4:57 bruh what dat skull doing💀💀
could you oculink up that nvme slot? curious to see what it can do with a dgpu
@etaprime is there any chance you'd go back to the minisforum b550 and pair it with an intel arc a750, for some reason my dock is not detecting it i have tried everything, looked into every single forum, i was hoping if there's anyone that can make it work it has to be you...hope you'd consider making another video about this particular setup if possible and thank you... i love everything you do i'm big fan.
I am planning to purchase opi5 or x1 which is better?
I like this little board, for the money its very decent! What do you think of the posibility of making it a handheld? I have a beautiful 7 inch ips panel here
Would this be a better alternative if you would to say mod an arcade cabinet?
At first when i saw the celeron cpu, i dismissed this, but then when i saw all the gpio, i thought to myself.. actually that's not too bad. The NFC really surprised me.
Now then, for me, if i wanted to make my own starbound/terraria/minecraft server, i'd want at least 8GB of ram... And if i were to go 16GB, it might just be cheaper to get a used thinclient off ebay.
Hi can we run XP & 7 on this SBC? Would this SBC be powerful enough for decent DOS emulation (Blood, DN3D, Shadow Warrior) and PS1 &2? Which is best for emulation - Windows / Linux / Android? Can Windows and Linux dual boot on this SBC? Do the manufacturer sell a case for this SBC?
Can you test the Orange pi plus because i want to buy and your opinión is well apreciated
how about cloud gaming? how smooth is it if you plug it to a 4k tv and play xcloud?
I wonder if it can be powered with a 18650 battery pack
Looks like the pricing is a bit higher than you listed. 8GB is $130 shipped.
This might be the SBC for my jellyfin server
I'd like to see it running on lunch box or Batocera
Would love to see this running Batocera !
