Notebook reviews with Kingston NV1 SNVS/500GCN

The Trigkey is inexpensive at just under US$300, but it thankfully sidesteps the terribly slow Celeron or Atom solutions for an older but faster AMD Zen+ processor instead. Even light HTPC multi-tasking can benefit from the aging AMD processor.

Beelink SEi12 mini PC review: Outperforming the Intel NUC 11
The SEi12 Core i5-1235U offers faster processor performance than the Intel NUC11 Core i7-1165G7 while costing hundreds of dollars less. For most HTPC setups, the new Beelink will have all the power and features needed for 4K streaming and then some.

Beelink SER5 Pro 5600H mini PC review: NUC 11 speeds with AMD Ryzen
The SER5 Pro continues the streak of affordable HTPCs from Beelink all designed to be cheaper alternatives to the Intel NUC series. This latest model challenges high-end Intel NUCs powered by Core i7 U-series CPUs by running on a Ryzen 5 H-series Zen 3 processor.

Beelink SEi11 mini PC Review: Cheaper than an Intel NUC 11 but just as fast
NUC alternatives can be a mixed bag most of the time, but the Beelink SEi11 is coming awfully close to a full-fledged NUC while costing hundreds of dollars less thanks to the uncommon Core i5-11320H.

2022 Beelink GTR5 mini PC review: An Intel NUC with AMD Ryzen 9
The GTR5 is the closest thing you can get to an Intel NUC powered by an AMD Zen 3 Ryzen processor. Raw CPU performance is spectacular and beyond most other mini PCs. It's just too bad that there are no Thunderbolt or eGPU options.
