Anyone using a "mini PC" ?? - paulw - 16-05-2025
My current desktop is coming to the end of it's life. I've had it since 2012 currently running Win 11 23h2. Doesn't do well on 24h2.I'm looking at a mini PC to replace it as I don't do gaming but a little video editing. Unfortunately here in NZ there is a dearth of mini PCs. I've looked at PB Tech who have quite a few and have virtually settled on this one https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/WKSPB52714/PB-Jupiter-52714-Mini-PC-Windows-11-Pro-Mini-Busin but wonder if having DDR4 RAM rather than DD5 RAM will have much of an effect
Your thoughts??

DDR5 being the later also implies the rest of the hardware will be more modern as well - some of the hardware on the market atm is from a couple of generations ago.. DDR5 is twice as fast as DDR4

But real world, probably won't notice any difference

I did a long time ago when my laptop died and I opted for a cheapie. No, it wasn't ideal. But it did give me time to save up for a real one, lol...

I decided to buy the one at PB Tech as it was on a sale and looks like a runout model. Also ordered a two external drive enclosure for the other two HDs in the old PC.
