Looking for news on AliExpress, we have noticed a generic mini PC with the Intel N200 processor, rarely seen in mini PCs and that in this case is at a good price.
The Intel N200 improves significantly to the well-known Intel N100, both in CPU speeds and GPU cores, as these make the leap to 32 UE, from the 24 of the N100, improvements that are always appreciated. The TDP of the Intel N200 is only 6 W, so temperatures will not be a problem, and it is a perfectly valid option for a low power mini PC for desktop use.
From the rest of its configuration we will highlight its triple video output, its two 2.5G high-speed network ports and its wireless module with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. A mini PC with a processor that has always been more fluid than an N100 thanks to its improvements.
