Today we find in stores a new mini PC based on the latest generation Intel N100 processor, the small and compact TRIGKEY G5.
A mini PC that despite having an economical price includes a quite interesting hardware with 16 GB of RAM DDR5, WiFi 6 and RJ45 2.5G network ports that guarantee a fast wired connection. Inside we have a processor of the Alder Lake-N Intel N100 family manufactured in 10nm (intel 7) and very low consumption with a TDP of only 6 W. A processor that we have already seen in some reviews and allows us to run all kinds of programs up to a certain level.
Another mini PC in a sector where more and more interesting for its power and performance are the economic range equipments.
TRIGKEY G5 mini PC Specifications
The TRIGKEY G5 includes an Intel N100 processor manufactured in 10 nm with four cores and four execution threads that reach up to 3.4 GHz. For graphics, we have an integrated Intel UHD Graphics GPU with 24EU supporting AV1 video codec up to 4K@60fps.

The power supply is external, a VESA bracket is included among the accessories and as a system we have Windows 11 Pro.

I have the TRIGKEY G5 and there is no video out over USB-C. What do I need to do to enable this?
Nothing, just use the rear port with the right cable.
It would be helpful to know what the “right cable” is. I have a USB-C cable to my existing docking station that allows 4K DisplayPort signal from my laptop, along with USB (mouse, keyboard, camera etc.) and Ethernet at the same time. BUT same cable does not show any video from Trigkey (but does carry ethernet, usb etc.). Is it that Trigkey does not output DisplayPort via USB-C? Or am I missing something?
Hi. Contact with your store, as you see in the advertising, USB-C have video output.
Is very easy, connect and go.
