This cheap dual-bay NAS now available with Intel N150

A few years ago several Chinese mini PC makers started branching out into the NAS (network attached storage) space with the introduction of computers that blurred the lines between PC and connected storage device.

One of the first to arrive was a model with the guts of a mini PC combined with two 3.5 inch drive bays and an appliance-like design (that honestly looks more like a router than a […]

Lilbits: EU orders Apple to open up iPhone and iPad key technologies to competitors

The European Union is telling Apple that, in order to comply with the Digital Markets Act, the company needs to allow competing device makers and app developers to access core iPhone and iPad technologies including peer-to-peer WiFi connection, NFC, proximity-triggered device pairing, AirDrop, AirPlay, and media casting.

Apple isn’t particularly happy about any of that, but European […]

This 8 inch mini-laptop has an Intel N150 processor and 12GB RAM

A handful of Chinese PC makers have been selling mini-laptops with 8 inch displays and Intel Alder Lake-N processors for a few years. Now we’re starting to see new models with Intel Twin Lake chips.

One of the first to arrive is the X-Plus Piccolo 2-in-1 mini-laptop with an Intel N150 processor, which sells for $385, but I expect we’ll see nearly identical models from other brands soon.

Build your own NAS with this versatile, low-power mini ITX board

Intel’s Alder Lake-N and Twin Lake processors are designed to be affordable and energy-efficient chips that offer good-enough performance for a wide range of tasks. They’ve shown up in a lot of low-cost mini PCs, Chromebooks, and other laptops and tablets over the past few years.

But they also come with some trade-offs. One of the biggest is that these chips only have 9 PCIe lanes, which […]

after reading the leaked info on Intel #WildcatLake, I did a little digging on #TwinLake, its predecessor, and was very disappointed to find out that Twin Lake CPUs like the i3-N355 only support 16GB RAM.

maybe that's enough for many people building a Proxmox system with an N355 - an 8-core, all-E-core CPU with a max TDP of 15 watts, which is ~25% slower than an i5-8500T released 5 years earlier while using less than half the power - but I'd really rather it support 32GB.

then again, anybody buying Intel for a low-power mini Proxmox box probably has some other good reason for doing so, because #Intel hasn't been competitive in compute per watt for a while.

Lilbits: Apple scraps an AR glasses project, Linux app support for Android, and AYANEO’s handheld gaming PC with modular controllers

The Apple Vision Pro has widely received positive reviews for offering an amazing mixed reality experience. But they’ve also been a niche device since launch, at least partially because of their $3,499 price tag.

Apple has been working on several other augmented reality projects, but according to a report from Bloomberg the company has decided to scrap work on a cheaper, smaller pair of […]
