      Why am I just learning about this $80 thin system right now?

      My current server runs around 80 watts idle,but it’s also my gaming pc. I’d love to replace it with something dedicated that can handle direct streaming 4k with the occasional transcode around the house, at less wattage.

      Why not a N100 though? Faster, lower TDP, and it’s built in graphics supports hardware AV1 decoding (J5005 doesn’t).

          Yea, that’s what I’m seeing. $200 for an N100 based machine , $80 for a j5005. CAD with shipping.

          N100 is technically superior, but my use case is the *arr suite with plex, NAS attached so the j5005 will likely suit no problem.
