AOOSTAR WTR Pro NAS Updated With Intel N150 'Twin Lake' CPU

AOOSTAR is a relatively well-known brand of mini PCs and eGPUs. The WTR Pro is hardly any different from a mini PC, although its hefty four-bay storage capacity allows it to function as a decently well-equipped home NAS as well. Folks who are interested in the system will be pleased to know that the system has now been upgraded with Intel's six-watt N150 processor. Of course, the quad-core N150 "Twin Lake" processor is far from a performance-class product, although it does offer enough computing grunt to allow the system to push through non-intensive workloads well enough, outpacing the N100 chip that the WTR Pro previously rocked by a small margin.

The rest of the WTR Pro appears mostly unchanged, boasting room for four 3.5-inch drives and a single M.2 2280 SSD slot. A single SODIMM slot is also present, which can accommodate up to 32 GB of DDR4-3200 memory according to AOOSTAR, although the N150 processor is officially rated for a maximum 16 GB of memory only. The dual 2.5 G LAN ports should be enough for a small home networking setup, and the rest of the ports on offer are pretty decent as well, including dual USB 3.0 Type-A, dual USB 2.0 Type-A, USB-C, microSD, DisplayPort, HDMI 2.1and an audio jack. The system is already available for purchase on Amazon, with a price of $339 (after a $30 coupon) for the N150-powered variant with no memory or storage.

Minisforum Unveils UN100P/UN150P Mini PC With a Priority on Affordability

A brand-new Minisforum mini PC has hit the scene, dubbed the UN100/150P. Unlike most of the other mini PCs that Minisforum offers, the UN100/150P is not meant to be as much of a powerhouse as its siblings. Powered by either the Intel N100 or the slightly higher-clocked N150 processors, the UN100P is barely performant enough for most workloads and casual usage in the modern-era. For those unaware, the 6-watt Intel N100 and N150 are quad-core, quad-thread CPUs based on Alder Lake-N, with the latter boasting a 200 MHz higher boost clock than the former's 3.4 GHz.

Unsurprisingly, there is no room for the luxury of powerful discrete graphics, which means that customers will have to settle for the integrated Iris Xe iGPUs with 24 EUs. As mentioned earlier, the system should be speedy enough for lightweight workloads and casual usage, but expecting anything more out of the UN100/150P in terms of performance will most likely prove to be futile. At 12.7 x 11.2 x 3.9 cm, the Minisforum UN100/150P is plenty compact, which is hardly a surprise considering the modest internals. In terms of memory and storage, the mini PC can be equipped with up to 16 GB of user-upgradeable DDR4-3200 memory and 256 GB of SSD storage, also user-upgradeable via its M.2 2280 slot.

Ultra-compact Morefine M6S Plus Mini PC Set to Launch with Intel Twin Lake Processor

The world of mini PCs keeps on growing, thanks to a boost in popularity made possible by the impressive efficiency and performance improvements brought to the table by the silicon giants, allowing compact systems to function just as well as full-fledged towers. The Morefine M6S Plus is yet another addition to the list of mini PCs, and it appears that the system prioritizes portability and compactness over raw performance. For a sizeable chunk of casual desktop users, even entry-level processors pack enough computing grunt to ease through their workloads, and that demographic is exactly what the M6S Plus targets.

With dimensions of 7.2 x 7.2 x 4.2 cm, the Morefine M6S Plus is commendably compact indeed. As mentioned, the computing horsepower offered is very limited, thanks to the quad-core Intel N150 processor that lacks Hyper-Threading. The memory is, unfortunately, not user upgradeable, so customers are will have to stick the 12 GB of LPDDR5-4800 memory on offer. The storage however, is upgradeable, thanks to the M.2 2242 slot which can accommodate up to 4 TB of storage. In terms of connectivity, the options are acceptable, including dual Type-C ports with DP, gigabit ethernet, triple USB 3.2 Gen 1Type-A ports (two on the front), HDMI 2.1, as well as a headphone jack.

GMK G9 Mini PC Unveiled With 4x M.2 2280 Slots and Dual 2.5G LAN

The newly unveiled GMK G9 is not here to set any records in terms of raw performance. However, it does pack a different trick up its sleeve - impressive storage capabilities, allowing for its use as an affordable NAS. GMK has not revealed any price or availability details as of now, although Liliputing did manage to dig up a retailer listing which reveals that the G1 mini PC will start at an affordable $289 for the base variant with 12 GB of memory and no SSD storage, whereas the same unit with 512 GB of storage will command an extra $30.

The GMK G9 is powered by Intel's N150 processor - a slightly higher-clocked version of the N100, which packs a total of four cores and four threads, a boost clock of 3.6 GHz, and a modest 6-watt TDP. As mentioned previously, the G1 is by no means a performance system, and packs just enough computing grunt to function as a lightweight daily driver or a NAS. The system can be equipped with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5-4800 memory and 64 GB of eMMC storage. To justify its NAS credentials, the G1 packs a whopping four M.2 2280 slots, allowing for a maximum of 32 TB of SSD storage. The port selection is plenty decent as well, including a USB-C port, triple USB-A ports, dual HDMI ports, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and of course, dual 2.5G RJ-45 LAN ports. For the price and the features offered, the G1 sure does like a commendable choice for a nifty little home server.
