Anyone using a "mini PC" ??

[paulw]

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/WKSPB52...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.

I've been using this PC for about 56 days now and no problems. Added an external 3.5 inch Unitek twin drive bay and Asus external Blu-ray drive. Was way smaller than I thought but the upside is it has heaps of USB ports all type 3 except for a USB C port. The only odd thing I got was when I went to install my 2019 copy of Nero Burning Rom and the installed went to Chinese. Lucky it was easy to navigate as the icons are the same s the English version. When it ran up it was all in English. Weird. Had a look at he settings and nothing Chines in them.
My old PC was Win 11 23h2 and all the network shares worked fine. This one is 24h2 and none of the network shares worked . couldn't see another PC on the network until I made their sharing for a private network. Still can't get the shares on my two Linux PCs to work. I can try to map them but I can't login . says user name / password not correct. Even change the settings in the policy editor to allow anonymous login. Work in progress.
