We now have available the tiny Minisforum S100 mini PC that stands out for its size of only 152 x 58 x 19.5 mm that allows us to install and transport it without problems.
A PC that uses a Quad Core Intel N100 processor, very efficient and with a TDP of only 6W TPD so we will not have heating issues, especially when it is cooled by a variable speed fan. We are surprised in its specifications by the compatibility of power over Ethernet (PoE) port, so the Minisforum S100 can theoretically be powered electrically through the network cable, something interesting if we have a wired network at hand to avoid cables.
A mini PC that despite its small size has good connectivity options, since we find a high speed 2.5G RJ45 network interface and two 4K@60fps video outputs. A very fascinating mini PC despite its size.
