𝗣𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗨𝗦𝗗 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝗲-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 £𝟴𝟲 𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 - some fee-free card/account examples include Starling, Revolut, Monzo, Wise, Clarity, Zing, Monese
Mini guide if needed...
1. Register your fee-free card as a payment method at Aliexpress (Ae) - will be using Revolut as an example here
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 £1-2 worth on top) to the Revolut app from your bank account
6. In the Revolut app, use 'Exchange' to convert GBP to USD
7. Change the default payment currency in the Revolut app from GBP to USD
8. Double-check you are paying in USD at Ae & the USD funds in Revolut match or exceed what you need to pay, then hit the buy button

• Recommended to wipe the entire drive+partitions & install Windows afresh on receipt
- Due to malware concerns, do this with all computers sourced from the Far East, including those via Amazon, eBay, etc & also secondhand PCs from anywhere
- Some additional useful related 'how to' tips by (thank you) can be found here hotukdeals.com/com…296
- These are ok for entertainment/tweaking/home theatre purposes, but refrain from using these types of lesser-known brand PCs from the FE for anything critical or professional - e.g. for your job or run a business on. And probably even avoid any financial/crypto transactions on it altogether to be on the safest side
- If you're concerned to the point of paranoia please refrain from buying - the only relatively "safe" brands are Apple, Intel, Dell, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Lenovo, HP, Acer, ASrock & similar longstanding & reputable brands in the UK.

Thanks in advance (edited)
» CPU: Dell is more powerful overall cpubenchmark.net/com…00T, also has 6 cores 𝘃𝘀 4 cores in the Fb
» RAM: Dell is upgradeable to dual-channel 32Gb (2x16Gb) 𝘃𝘀 no upgrade path with the Fb
» Storage: Dell takes 1x NVMe SSD + 1x 2.5" HDD/SSD 𝘃𝘀 only 1x NVME up to 2Tb with the Fb (upgrades with latter are relatively expensive due to the less common 2230 form factor)
» Graphics: Fb is a little better on the iGPU front... UHD 730 𝘃𝘀 UHD 630
- videocardbenchmark.net/com…730
- notebookcheck.net/UHD…tml
» Ports
- Dell has 1x USB-C port 𝘃𝘀 none on the Fb, but latter has more overall USB ports
- Dell has 2x DisplayPorts (plus 1x other video output depending on specific one you buy/own) 𝘃𝘀 no DPs in the Fb, but has 3x HDMI in lieu
- Dell has a headphone/audio jack + separate line-in jack 𝘃𝘀 a single headphone/audio jack in the Fb
» Both should be able to be easily+cheaply upgraded to WiFi 6 & BT 5+ via their dedicated M.2 slots for this
» Fb is noticeably lighter in weight & smaller in physical size
» Dell is more robust overall with much better driver support & spare secondhand motherboards should be more easily+cheaply sourced (edited)
but that would be maximizing what the unit could draw from the wall, i've been running on 12v 2a or 24w power supply and it's never had problems at all, which tracks with some youtube testers that estimated the max power draw under heavy load is about 22w. so the max i could be drawing would be 15p.
but in the real world of course 99.9% of the time is at idle or near idle conditions, i can see in casaOS that the CPU is idling at about 3.5w so alltogether power i would estimate, i don't have a wall tester, total system draw around 10w. throwing my heaviest HDR 4k plex file at it brings the CPU wattage to about 9.5w so i'll eyeball 15w. that's 7p a day when it's idle and 10p a day if it was serving plex all day.

- Then use code HOTSALE3 for q further $12 off on the final checkout screen & you'll be paying £126 equivalent if paid in USD with a fee-free card...
Seems not bad considering the cost.
Thank you.
remember, it's not an android device or other streaming stick designed for a tv, it's a conventional computer, at least out of the box. basically a baby desktop. so, for example, remote control integration is nonexistant/poor, you'd need a keyboard at least or a KB/M ideally to get good function out of it.
does that make sense? it's a little low powered machine which makes it ideal as a homeserver, for all sorts of automation tasks.
I'm interested as a Plex server only.
Any other options worth considering on Amazon like an 11th gen N5095 box?

Can anyone recommend a mini/SFF PC that has enough CPU/RAM grunt to do Lightroom Classic/Photoshop photo editing? Happy to consider used.
Many thanks. (edited)
Do some research on the 7735HS CPU prior to buying.
If you want more powerful, then let us know your max budget.
Anyone know if I'll need a wired keyboard and mouse to set this up before using a wireless keyboard and mouse? (edited)
Explanation for why you're charged or not for future reference hotukdeals.com/com…558
at this price its silly money.
Edit: Price gone down again by further $7 so approx just over £5 (edited)
Depending on your OS needs something like DietPi would be a good place to start if you're confident doing things via SSH. You do have desktop options too. Very lightweight and you can run everything either in Docker or a bit of both as you can natively install plenty.
You'll have SMB, DLNA, SFTP, NFS and the rest running in no time.
That's the way I have my setup, albeit much less powerful than the N100. I'd go for this if not for the 1Gbps NIC's. (edited)
Otherwise it's just a desktop PC for light PC usage. (edited)
FWIW I did deep scan the OS that came with this and it was malware free. I'd still do that again and still reinstall it though to be safe. It does show as activated though. (edited)
If it was available without the Windows 11 licence it would be even cheaper. (edited)
Good solution fast outcome for parents and workers I feel 6w processor Superb. (edited)

As in the link above, similar ones come with more than 2x LAN ports, 2.5GbE, plus passive cooling & a NAS-type N100 miniPC as well hotukdeals.com/dea…172
Can provide some examples for all of the above depending on your needs.
