MeLE Reddot Winner Mini PC Overclock4C N100(up to 3.4GHz) Alder-Lake 12th Gen 32GB RAM, 512GB Storage, Mini Desktop Computer, Triple Screen Display, Full Function USB-C on Office Education Home

I’ve been meaning for years to set up a media and streaming PC, because my 1200w main PC wouldn’t fit the bill as far as electricity goes, pun slightly intended. This little guy works great, it’s my new Plex server, along with all streaming apps, it beats smart TV streaming because it’s much more efficient and effective, while also having the ability to block YouTube ads. I immediately upgraded to a 2 TB M.2, but there is nothing wrong with the original drive, although finding a quality gen 3 at this point wasn’t as easy as it once was, memory is fine, because you won’t be doing anything crazy on this computer. I haven’t had a single issue with it, it’s quiet and has been running consistently for weeks now without an issue. It’s not going to win any speed and performance awards, but as long as you keep your background apps lite, you should have no issues. Only concern is that the small fan built in will eventually fail, but that’s a bridge that can easily be crossed down the road.

I bought the 8GB, 256GB version and swapped the 8GB stick with a different computer with same type ram so this MeLe could have 16GB and my other computer 24GB (8+16gb). All works great. I upgraded the SSD to a samsung 1TB as well. Currently it's running 3, 27" 2.5k monitors. This setup is not working that well, but I'm sure it's not really supposed to run 3 monitors well. I also peeled off some the mesh to allow better air flow. IDK about dust, I'll dust it out with my compressed air. I want max cooling as it does get pretty warm under load. So is it worth it? Ehhh, it would be nice if this thing was faster, but for the price, it's faster than what I think you should get for the money so that's nice.

I installed Ubuntu LTS and Coolify on this mini PC to run containerized home automation services. Everything works flawlessly - no performance issues, fast response times, and stable operation. The device stays cool and quiet even under load. With 32GB RAM and 512GB storage, it’s more than enough for my needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a compact and powerful solution for self-hosting.

I was introduced to these at work where we use the lower end models for signage. I bought this more robust model (Overclock4C N100 up to 3.4GHz Alder-Lake 12th Gen, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD) to connect to my 55" flat screen so that I could do some computing with a lot of real estate. As stated in description, this is not for video editing nor heavy gaming, so do not purchase this for those uses. So far, it works very well. I did not see it in the description, and I took a chance on the OS, but I was pleased to find it came with Windows 11 Pro. Plus, no bloatware. Simple set up and connection. Does what I need it to do, does not get hot, task manager looks good on resources, graphics are good. If it holds up well over time, I may come back and give it 5 stars.

As shown in the photo, I'm really curious about what such a small computer host can do. As a photographer, I attempted to run DaVinci 18 on it, and it's obviously a crazy and unrealistic idea... 😂 But surprisingly, it can barely run Photoshop, though not very fast. I can now carry it in my pocket, car's armrest, or the small pocket in my bag... Paired with my mini mouse and soft keyboard (not necessary as most hotel computer rooms provide these), it becomes an excellent on-the-go office assistant, without worrying about the information security risks of using shared hotel computers. At the same time, its price makes me incredibly comfortable!

OUTSTANDING!!!!

Easy to set up and good as second PC

Excellent form factor and port selection, but unfortunately just slightly underpowered for my use case: streaming via OBS from a Cam Link 4K to YouTube. It seemed to mostly work, but it was using 100% of the CPU which meant if I tried to do anything else (e.g. monitor the stream on YouTube) it would drop frames, which didn't bode well for longevity. Not MeLE's fault, just means the N100 is underpowered for this use case.
