Notebookcheck tests the Bosgame M4 Neo with AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, 32 GB RAM and a 1,024 GB SSD. We also take a look at the 3D performance in combination with an eGPU.
I use 4 of them. 2 run services, one being primaries (DNS, Mail, etc), and the other secondary services and backups of the first. 2 more are CARPed OpnSense boxes.
I needed to replace my old server which was my old desktop, and I grabbed some deals from Aliexpress for cheap. Now I have redundant disks and machines, which is nice.
Edit: And I chose low power options, so all 4 use less power than my old server.
There’s low resource games that would do fine. You aren’t gonna be able to run a graphics intense FPS, but I’ve seen people run Minecraft, stardew valley and the like on minis.
I’ve got one running Batocera, and it works just fine as a little emulator console. Not something I would want to do any kind of modern PC gaming on, but good for my specific use case

So no one is actually gaming on them, right? Because that sounds really dumb.

Actually, we use an Intel n150 miniPC for playing Zwift with the bike trainer. So I guess I have 5.
I didn’t realize you could run Zwift on your own PC…
