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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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!❤
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 ^_^

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.

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! 😅
@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!
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
It's cool no doubt. With the release of the Raspberry Pi 5, this board falls in line with it in terms of quality. It looks good for tinkerers and people looking for low-cost computing. :)
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.
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?
Form factor and specs super close to lattepanda 3 Delta. Which I have. That is NOT $99! Overpriced, I paid too much? Or is this x1 bending the rules somehow? I can say, the build quality of the lattepanda is really another level.
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.

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!
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 🤔
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
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's cool no doubt. With the release of the Raspberry Pi 5, this board falls in line with it in terms of quality. It looks good for tinkerers and people looking for low-cost computing. :)
good for AIOT
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.
2.9ghz for $99 is a steal. The price is really good.
Nice video, btw is it possible to upgrade the cpu?
Probably soldered on.
Thanks for the video.
$99 for a N5105 is good. My little kids using N6005, it's faster than N5105. Looking for a 8505 or N200 to replace the N6005.
Seems that the 3Ghz Pi5 is still can not catch up with the little baby x86...
really want this to use as a travel router but i'm scared of Karens false reporting me in the airport thinking its a bomb lol
4:57 bruh what dat skull doing💀💀
Would love to see this running Batocera !
Would love to see that paired with the new Gigabyte 4060 half height card if possible. It would be the smallest powerhouse PC you’ve ever built!
PLZ DO LINUX and Xbox emulation!!! Would love to see it
thanks for letting us know about it- now the prices have gone up as expected - TH-camRS>>>> SMH
Can you test the Orange pi plus because i want to buy and your opinión is well apreciated
I'd like to see it running on lunch box or Batocera
Why 16gb at 179 whereas 8 gb costs 109$?
people using it for thin clients for corporations can pay more
OCULINK TEST PLEASE 😁
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.
This might be the SBC for my jellyfin server
If this thing can play Final Fantasy XI, I would soooooo get one.
Would this be a better alternative if you would to say mod an arcade cabinet?
Would love to see a chrome os install on this board
I would love to see 86box or pcem emulation on these x86 boards
Can this do Dolby atmos audio pass through using kody to replace NVIDIA shield?
Can you test linux & Batocera up to ps2 or xbox360?
I want this board but with a Ryzen 6-core and PCIe slot!
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?
i wish these companies would design these boards to fit neatly in a case. have ports on 4/4 or 3/4 sides doesnt help
metal case is on the way
i would like to see how this thing would perform with steam OS
Nuc moonstone 7940hs modle please.
How does this compare against equivalent priced ARM based SBCs - like Orange Pi 5?
can you tell on your videos if single or dual channel Ram, thanks
Please test Batocera & top end Emuls !
What emulator did you use for Sega Saturn?
Form factor and specs super close to lattepanda 3 Delta. Which I have. That is NOT $99! Overpriced, I paid too much? Or is this x1 bending the rules somehow? I can say, the build quality of the lattepanda is really another level.
ah yes, CUPHED, my favourite pltfomer
Does it have all the EUFI stiff for win11 or do you have to do the LAB registry hack?
I am planning to purchase opi5 or x1 which is better?
Linux would be awesome
