was ยฃ8.80 with some ยฃ1 or so voucher on account
it's stacked under the m2 drive, m2 drive is a 2242, wifi card is a 2230
8 screws to open the unit and 10 mins to change, drivers auto installed though I installed the latest from Intel - intel.com/conโฆtml
just becareful unclipping the antenna connectors, they have a little hot glue over over it, new unit comes with a plastic clip cover should you wish to install
not a bad unit

If it's install and you wipe it, it'll activate when it goes online with your clean install as it did for me.
Boots to using only 2.1GB RAM of the 16GB..... Not run CPU-Z yet to check CPU/Memory speeds.
One thing to note - after I changed BIOS setting for RAM from 3200 to AUTO the device froze on reboot. Had to hard power off and then after a long pause it did finally boot back up again so need to dig further on that with CPU-Z and make sure memory setting is correct etc.
My UEFI/BIOS version is 0.2 in case others have different versions.

2. Change currency at Ae to USD, so you'll be checking out & paying in USD
3. Add the item to your basket & apply all the various discount codes as applicable
4. Check the approx current currency conversion rate USD to GBP using something like xe.com
5. Add the necessary funds (recommended extra ยฃ1-2 worth on top) to the Revolut app from your bank account

7. Change the default payment currency in the Revolut app from GBP to USD

Both are dual-core & significantly less powerful than the quad-core N100 cpubenchmark.net/comโฆ100
Also, the N100 has noticeably better UHD graphics of the trio videocardbenchmark.net/comโฆ730
The N100 may be weak relatively speaking, but still more powerful than yours, so not sure what you're trying to convey? Please elaborate. What kind of system do you have yours running in & for what purpose?
Love cakes btw, please send me some when you have a mo (edited)
This listing does not have an option for a UK plug though so it may not be any cheaper and more hassle to get the correct cable.

As far as I understand it, an N5095 is NOT an N100, but an inferior processor. What is the seller suggesting here - that it's all the luck of the draw as to which processor version you get?
"Intel N100 vs Ryzen 7 1700 (1st Gen) - Plex Transcoding and Power Consumption Test
I have just upgraded my Plex server and decided that the Intel N100 based mini PC would be an excellent choice in terms of overall value and power consumption. I am going to compare my old Ryzen Gen 1 tower PC to the new mini PC to see the difference in both transcoding performance and power consumption. The mini PC in question is the FIREBAT T8 Pro Plus 16GB N100 Mini PC..."
This person bought a very similar N100-based mini PC for PS & was satisfied with its performance reddit.com/r/pโฆpc/, despite some saying it will not be fast enough, 16Gb RAM is low, no dedicated GPU, etc, etc - he still went for it anyway!
Thanks in advance for any help. (edited)

Best to fresh install - download windows from another machine onto a USB drive and boot from USB drive and install. Personally I would not connect the internet with preexisting installation. Oh if they've infected the BIOS then you're screwed (edited)
