Today we found on AliExpress a small mini PC called ZXIPC that may be an interesting option over the Intel Nxx.
In the most economical version of this mini PC we have mounted a low-power processor Hexa Core AMD Ryzen 5 4500U. A chip that today and for its price has a very balanced performance, making it suitable for use in productivity, web browsing or as a multimedia and entertainment centre, since its iGPU will allow us to play many more things than with a processor of the Intel N100 or N200 series.
The rest of the ZXIPC mini PC specifications include Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, triple video output and the presence of two RJ45 2.5G network connectors.
