>he needs more than 100 watts to shitpost on 4chanWhy are you still wasting so much energy and space when you can use a tiny pc?
I use these because i can fit more computers in the same space
But I am. Deskmini X300, 4650G, 30 watts while watching 4k on dual monitors, browsing 4chan and storing all my shit on 4TBs of nvme. 11 watts idle. My 5800X3D/4070 needs like 50 idle, going up to 65-70 for the same workload, even without any fans
>>101174915>boils water with lignite>blames me for wasting his electricityFuck you.
can't fit 5.25" bd drive(even with case it can't give the 12v to power it)
>>101174915Fuck off chinese shill...
>>101174915But I'm shitposting with my 5W smartphone :^)
>>101175215你好
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>101174915>he needs to buy a micropenis to feel better about his CO2 footprintIm using the same old ass penis i used twelve years ago and nobody is gonna control this shithole's CO2 emissions until after WW3 so idgaf
>>101174915Try to run a LLM or SD on this shitbox.Try to develop using cuda in this shitTry to game in this shitTry to compile large projects in itTry to attach more storage in it
Looking into getting one that'll essentially just be a steam deck in power but purely for desktop work.
>>101174915I have a phone
>>101174915I multitask besides shitposting so extra processing power = good
Do you really need more?
I love these lil' buggers, I use one as a home server with tons of services and docker containers and it handles them no problem. They're efficient and very quiet
>>101176154Yes. The screen is terrible
>>101174915great for personal server, media storage and home automation, this little bastard can handle it all better than a same priced raspberry pi 5
>>101174915I use a minisforum em680 with 32gb ram. Very small and silent enough. It's pretty good overall.
>>101174915Because I enable Nvidia Optimus >browsing>GPU shuts down>intel iGPU takes over>not a shit ton of gamer fans>run like 60-70w
the AC uses 1000 watt. a few more make no difference
>>101175487AAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
>>101174915I'd have like 5 of these in my house if I wasn't a student living with my parents. The one I have works wonders though
My 140W TDP CPU serves as a space heater in the winter.
>>101178021i pity you niggersget a fucking job ur degree is worthless
>>101174915I am feeling cold. Please do not take away my only source of heat. Pwease!
>>101176001majority of /g/ are failed normie college kids who dont do anything with their pcs
>>101174915because energy and fast computers are dirt cheap
>>101174915>12.5" thinkpad as my main computer>thinkcentre tiny as my servermaximum comfy
>>101174915You know computers don't use 100% power all the time, right?
>>101180604maybe yours doesn't. unused power is wasted power.
>>101174915Material waste is much more meaningful to me then invisible energy waste. I will keep my mATX boxes in several rooms for the feels.
if that piece of shit started sipping 100w id throw it onto the autobahn like a frisbee
>>101174915Samsung Dex Phone is my shitposting machine
>>101175145can't even fit a 3.5" drive
>>101176600No thunderbolt 4 ports Booooo
>>101174915I have more than 100 watts just in monitors
>>101174915Why are you still wasting so much energy and space when you can use a phone?
>>101174915I have one of these coming in the mail tomorrow, it's going to be my home server. I'll have it on the vesa bracket on the wall by the router and breaker panel. Step one will be pihole.
>>101174915I don't NEED to but I DO it anyways
>>101174915But I'm using a tiny PC for a production server on my room
what's the cheapest mini pc with >2 thunderbolt 4/usb 4>1 hdmi 2.1>1 displayport 1.4>can do 4k 120hz (non gaming) general use without any issue
>>101180376...wha?
>>101180376*cuddles you*f-for warmth
>>101174915please stop buying them so i can afford onei need to replace my T520
>>101174915Don't those use 11-13W idle? Kinda power hungry, N100 has similar performance and is 6w idle, 14W max load.
I have 1000 W psu just to say fuck you poorfags
>>101174915My iPad stays at 100% charge from a USB-A Nintendo Pro Controller charger Your pic related is bloat
>>101181928OptiPlex 3000's can
>>101182802>thundebolt oh.. the completely useless port that no one ever uses. cool
>>101184659>My iPad stays at 100% charge>bloat
>>101184659yeah but you have to give it back when mom needs to check email
>>101174915You don't need more than 1W. Use your phone.
>>101184659>iPad
>>101184659>Mouse cursor is a damn circleGrim af
>>101176154what OS did you install on it? or do you use it in developer mode?
>>101176539Connect it to an external monitor. Simple as.
>>101176001these are for media servers not aislop
I'm always tempted to buy one because my computation need aren't that much but I also kinda feel that I'd regret doing it.
>>101174915but anon im not
>>101176154everyone does
>>101185881I do not require more.
>>101174915I don't live in a cardboard box like you doL M A O
>>101180376*vores you*Now you can be warm in my belly *buuuuuurp*
>>101186088*devours
>>101174915I can't deny, mini pc using 1 cable for power & display is probably the future of desktops
Other than Dell/Lenovo/HP, what are the most reliable brands when looking for mini PCs?
>>101174915How do I turn this thing into a device that easily hooks up to a TV for emulating games AND streaming (movies, cartoons, anime, youtube, twitch etc).My zoomer cousins are coming over and I don't want them to get too bored.(i posted this in /sqt/ accidentally before seeing this thread)
>>101188074>How do I turn my car into a device that will transport me from one location to another one?>i posted this in /sqt/it belongs there
>>101174915I love those for what they are. Got my parents one with an i5 for their emails and shit, and got myself one with a ryzen5 and it can play most games released before 2015ish.for less than $100 used, it's a great purchase if you think you'll actually use it.
>>101188074>My zoomer cousinsM/F?
>>101174915You can use a laptop
>>101188984>laptop
>>101176600>connetionsaar
>>101176154I honestly thought I was the only Chromebook user on this site.
>>101174915but why since everysingle fucking desk has special place for full size mid tower pcand even if it doesnt have one i can always put my pc under the fucking desk with no wasted spaceyou need monitor keyboard and mouse anyway to use this shit so whats the point of having portable pc just usa a fucking laptop
>>101189818He stills speaks and uses twice as many languages as you, bud.
I'm poor and refuse to pay kikeflation prices for shit hardware. There are a few for sale on 2nd hand markets near me but of course the prices are asinine.
>>101190043what price
>>101188074Install Android TV
>>101190102$120-$200
>>101176154I need less
mini pcs fucking rock for hosting websites. got mine from aliexpress for $110 and it came with a terabyte m.2 ssd, 16 gigs of ram and an n100.It's currently running a few of my personal projects and a production server.
>>101190023where did the reddit bot come from
>>101188074emulationstation and add a plugin for jellyfin or kodi.
>>101176001You are a stupid faggot.
i wish the steam deck had a fully capable OS. it would be perfect.
>>101174915any arbitrary task does not need only the bare minimum hardware necessary to accomplish that task
>>101174915The 5600G operates under that and is much more powerfull than what those sff PCs have. Still love mine.
>>101174915Because I do more than just shitposting on 4chan on my computer. This machine is not good enough for my needs
>>101189064>hp
>>101174915that's really small I could like hide it under my bed and have a mini-goonstation with all wireless peripherals
>>101191722>i wish the steam deck had a fully capable OSValve could always hire 3000 H1B's and start slapping shit together until its "fullly capable". What's missing besides Fortnite or Adobe? VR on Linux desktop is fine as long as you're on GNOME/KDE
I've been playing Grime while new version of PaleMoon is compiling actually. I'm still mad over getting gimped i9900k but on other hand it just works so.
>>101175089Whats lignite
>>101174915>when you can use a tiny pc?I use less watts posting on my iPhone.
>>101195335Which model?

>>101188074flash batocera on a USB drive with balena etcher. I have an hp prodesk with an i5-6500t + 16gb ram and batocera is a beast on that tiny PC. can emulate Nintendo switch & ps2 games as well. you can install a browser on it and use it to watch movies or TV shows too. then when your cousins leave you can unplug the USB and boot into your normal OS and use it for whatever you normally use it for
>>101188074>cousinsAge?
*sprays with water*fucking relax
>>101195091i mean its just things like this. (https://youtu.be/ttOs5iWgNzk) i actually love steamOS and its probably the best os ive ever used. but it has a lot of natural limitations because its designed to be simple that require a lot of workaround. i havent used linux since like 2009 and it was annoying to use im not some homo that wants to spend all day in CLI pretending to be a hacker. steamOS has the best parts of windows and linux with very few of their faults and is far better than either of them for a normal user. at this point its just simply missing a few core linux parts stock that would make it perfect.
>>101185872anon whats wrong with your head?
