I really wished you would start mentioning the prices on these things you promote. It would really help out.

[jampaOK]

Man... I've been watching your videos since you had just a few thousands of subscribers. Your tutorials on RPI3 were really good at that time and helped me a lot.
You are now almot at 1M users. Congrats buddy!

[chromerims]

Appreciate today's tasteful and unironic keyboard pairing (10:10) 👍 . . . stays 100% in character throughout. Superb videos, thank you ETA sir.

Hi ETA PRIME! I recently bought an eGPU and an RTX 3080 Ti, along with a laptop that has Thunderbolt 4! I think I overspent on the GPU considering I'm only intending on using it with an eGPU. I only found out that eGPUs existed thanks to your channel.

Like these mini PC videos. They seems to get better all the time

[thesuperzfamilyvlog]

It's sad I find it surprising (pleasantly so) that they have a slot that's easily accessible for RAM upgrade.

Learn so much about a variety of mini pc's from your channel...great video and content..💯👍

[sbstndltn]

Can't wait till Ryzen 6000 comes to these little nucs.

[ColoK]

Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for uploading!

[TheRealNMD]

I'd like to know the Photoshop and video editing performance of these as well.

[leinandras]

I would be interested to see PS2 and PS3 emulation with that egpu connected. You have been demonstrating the emulation capabilities of the tiger lake cpus very well but sadly enough, I barely can find any videos about the performance increase when it is boosted by an egpu. I have a nucbox with the 1165g7 cpu and I am wondering if the investment in an nvme doc and a mobile gpu would be worth it for higher end emulation. Thank you

Every 14 days you make another one.
Your still original!
Somehow you can make the exact same video 100x and yet they’re all very different lol so strange.
I love your vids.Sorry I have a bad English.

[coinstudiocrosstec]

I'll buy next week's most powerful mini pc

[andromydous]

I miss the days when I would think to myself, "Who would buy one of those? I can build a PC for almost the same price and it'll have better performance."

[pcislocked]

4:41 That's playing using AV1 codec. Does the iGPU have AV1 decode or it's on CPU?

[kbhasi]

Me, looking at the video title, thinking about computer keyboards: 'GMK?!?! I thought they only made keycap sets!'

[jordantherubio]

Really awesome tiny pc perfect for emulators and a little rough on the main games but perfect for those that need it

[msthalamus]

I wish this had a couple USB 2 ports for mouse and keyboard. I've had way too much trouble with Bluetooth refusing to reconnect without explicit re-pairing across a wide range of systems.

[IcebergTech]

I see Forza Horizon 5 has the glitch with alpha channels on badges & license plates. I’ve only seen that on old AMD cards so far. Wonder what causes that?

[ProjectHelisexuality]

Surely having the vent at the bottom is going to mean it's covered all the time?
