Hello all, I recently setup jellyfin on my RPi 4 with an external HDD attached and after a few tests I decided to move on. On ebay I found a refurbished Fujitsu Mini PC with a Pentium G4560. It is way cheaper than the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q (with a G5400T) which I saw being recommended a lot.

My question is:

how does the higher TDP of the former 54 W with a base frequency of 3.50 GHz compare to the latter with a TDP of 35 W for 3.10 GHz in a real world scenario running jellyfin?

For now I will continue using my external HDD because the prices for new drives is too high for me.

Someone linked a list of Mini-PCs here: https://lemmy.world/post/19837516

I think the N100 sounds good. But I can't comment on buying a cheap chinesium one versus a refurbished Fujitsu/Lenovo or an Intel NUC.

I bought a "cheap chinesium" one a couple of months back and have not regretted it (yet). It does what it claimed it would.

The one I bought: Aoostar R1

How much did you end up paying? Did you have to pay tax, customs fees etc? $200 sounds almost too good to be true. Do you run Linux on it? Any driver issues? I'm looking for a replacement for my NAS right now. On paper this one looks pretty good.

I opted for the version with RAM and nvme for $270. had to pay shipping, but no import tax (lucky me). So all in all it was about $300 for me.

And yes I run Linux on it. Arch Linux to be precise. Have not encountered any driver issues.
