Nice when the EGpu is added (didn't know they existed, another plus for your video's Tim). It all looks nice but awaiting the Ryzen box you mentioned before that's due a video soon from you. As said, I'm just after a PC that does emulation as far up as it will go. Thanks for the video, always great content..Paul..

Find it fascinating what kind of kitchen items you use in Japan.
That banana hang thing ... like that need that to 😆
Ow .. nice deep dive into this awesome mini pc buddy.

Wish most of these mini PC’s had dual 2.5G LAN’s like their AMD Ryzen 7 5700U Mini PC NucBox M5 you just reviewed. That way in the future could always turn it into a ( pfSense, OPNsense, Pi-hole or Open-WRT router ) and at least have options with the faster dual LAN. Much prefer Intel 226-v but even if it’s Real tech then so be it so save a few bucks. Once people did the research they probably would spend the extra money for the Intel ones though?
Good reviews on the boxes.

If you can get it at the 300 quid + tax mark, then it is not too bad at all. The RAM only being DDR4 3200 is a bit of a downer though considering that the processor supports up to LPDDR5 5200/DDR5 4800. But I guess this is where the pick for price comes in.
