Having followed the channel for a few years now it's kind of wild that we're seeing these tiny PCs that are able to handle PSP, Gamecube, and PS2 at higher resolutions. I remember just a few years ago some of these mini PC at time weren't even able to play Sega Saturn games perfectly. It'll be interesting in the next few years to see this form factor start to handle Xbox 360 and PS3 games.

really wish they would build more mini PCs with the N305 with it's higher all core boost

ETA Prime, thank you for such reviews. Thanks to you, today I bought a mini PC with an N100 processor for my friend. He was very satisfied.
By the way, I tried playing a video on Youtube called Tokyo 8k, I activated 8k resolution, and you know, the video played quite well! Of course, there were drops (100 drops per 1000 frames), but I consider it a great result for such a small cheap computer.

Now we need one of those things with single cable operation, like one Type C Cable with 90W PD from a monitor with everything in it. Screen, keyboard and mouse and ethernet plugged into its usb hub and everything else is Type C to such a box

[Blind-Ambition]

A USB 4 port on one of these would have made for a really adequate gaming system

4:55 dang 5/13 in the bios, turnaround on these videos is pretty quick

Thank you for reviewing the N300 like this. Of course, the performance is lower than the Ryzen mini pc, but I think it's a huge technology considering that it's 7.5x7.5x5cm in size. The Ryzen mini pc is still about 1.8 to 2 times larger than this pc in width and length.

This is amazing.. Incredible engineering

[JittikMieger]

Lovely little computer. Would be nice for the TV in the living room.

[nicoful]

Fits right in the palm of ETAs enormous hand

[FSK]

i would love to see this with egpu even n95 looks good

[nymusicman]

At the price for this thing, we are now in AMD 7000 territory and we'd get much better performance with slightly more wattage.

Can we all be alittle more honest here, I love the content from ETA, however there's so many videos of mini pc reviews from you that I don't really get the sense of what to buy. I'd have to go through each and every review which isn't ideal.. have you done a top ten 10 before? could you do one in the future?

[Somebodyoncetoldme]

I heard R2 NUT, and I was like "Noice".

[killickr]

Be interested to see the 4 port Ethernet version as a router

[ewenchan]

$469 for either the R2 Pro or the R2 NUC with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD.

It isn't cheap.

[gundamwang]

Amazing. I think I need one of these as my living room TV PC!
I don't suppose you've ever heard of the Zotac Magnus series of mini PC's? They're sort of like the Dell/Lenovo/HP mini office PC's, except they're packing like, RTX 4070's, etc.
I have the older model with a 1070 in it, and it's fantastic!
I'd love to see you cover some of the new ones though!

[dublintvcontent]

Excellent review.this seems like a real little gem.

[MarksGoneWicked]

Definitely interested in the Linux build.

Please ad in future some AI tests for such small devices...! I mean LLM's get more and more important at this time, and such little devices has for sure the potential to run LLM's locally without internet connection on it!!! Faraday and GPT4free are perfect for such tests and benchmarks... =)!!!
