Tiger Lake is still fast enough! Acemagic shows that a Tiger Lake processor still offers sufficient performance with the AD15 based on the Intel Core i5-11500B. We analyze what else the mini PC has to offer and whether the price-performance ratio is right in the test based on numerous measurements and benchmarks.

Intel Core i3 - not on the back burner. With its Intel Core i3-N305, the Maxtang MTN-ALN50 can impress with good everyday performance. Thanks to the active cooling unit, the native 8-core processor does not need to be artificially slowed down. In this review, we have analyzed how well the Maxtang MTN-ALN50 has fared against the competition and whether the price-performance ratio is right.

Affordable work device with room for improvement! The Venus Series UN100L is a particularly inexpensive and compact PC sold by Minisforum. The manufacturer has installed an Intel N100 with four computing units as a base. For under US$200, you can currently get the system with 8 GB DDR5 RAM and a 256-GB SSD. We have analyzed the affordable mini PC in detail.

Active AirJet cooling without fan. Zotac's compact pico series has undergone a significant upgrade. Alongside the introduction of the new Intel Core i3-N300 featuring 8 Alder Lake cores, Zotac stands out as the first producer to incorporate a novel cooling system. Two active AirJet modules are implemented to effectively manage the SoC even during heavy usage. We have evaluated the effectiveness of this system and assessed the overall performance of the Zotac Zbox pico PI430AJ in daily usage.

Efficient SoC for desktop systems! The Minisforum BD770i is a motherboard that includes a permanently soldered APU. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX is installed here, along with a large heat sink. As a result, there should be no thermal issues with the SoC. We coupled the Minisforum BD770i with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 to see whether we could make a relatively compact gaming system. All of the results may be found in this review.
