Wahey! Tbh it won't be that great, maybe you'll be able to do a little 720p clipping here and there, but for 1080p+, nah- saying that, it probably compares to an older i5 unit. I5-4570 or there abouts for power.

Btw thanks for watching 👍 They're a great bunch and I like chatting with the RH pack when I can. In reality I'm not at all comfortable in front of the camera, that's why most the time I'm behind it 😊

@@TeamPandory One thing that this is definitely better than older generation CPUs is the driver support. My computer has the i7 4710HQ and Davinci Resolve refuses to use the iGPU on it because of old driver. Intel SUCKS at updating drivers and the last driver they released for the HD4600 was back in 2015, less than 2 years after the release of the iGPU. There is a newer driver built in the Windows 10, but that too is several years old so I am fraked. So I am guessing for similar situations the N97 would be the better choice if one had to choose between them. I am not sure that is a huge compliment for the N97, but take it as you wish.

@@TeamPandory Ahhh good to know, I was thinking it might be a decent 1080p editing rig, or some lightroom. Thanks!

@@TeamPandory LOL! I know the feeling, I do photography and it's been around 14 years, I'm shy so I know! We hide behind the camera! lol! That's how it gets me out.

If they send one, maybe. We've done a gametest on the 6800h chip (same as h68) though. Was quite good. Also on the 7735hs (h77). Check the playlist for gametest videos.

Not as good as Ryzen for gaming. - but for super budget (under 200-300) they win out. Next tier up is dominated by and and Ryzen unless you go for the intel meteor lake, and even then they'll be beaten for price by... Ryzen again.

@@TeamPandory My issue is, how does Intel manage to always have iGPUs which always manage to have lackluster performance. It's like they are intentionally trying to suck.

@@TrusteftTech I guess they care about.... Um ... 🤔 Okay. They probably don't care 😭

There is for sure. We've reviewed 3 mini PCs using the 7940hs processor, and the other two throttled due to not enough cooling on the memory and nvme. There are also subtle differences regarding differing memory, nvme, additional nvme slots inside, price, CPU cooling, WiFi signal, software installed. It's not only a question of "what processor is in it", but the sum of all its parts.

Regarding waiting for the 890m, I think we'll be looking at either the third or fourth quarter of 2024 before we start seeing those. And then it'll be "should I wait for the 990M?". It's a never ending cycle.

@@TeamPandory Hahaha, that's true. And thanks! I'll try to find out about all the options in my country, or I'll make a friend who understands, maybe that will be faster :pppp

No worries 🤠 We want the best for the consumer, and to do that we need to say both the good and the bad points of whatever we get. Once manufacturers accept the shortcomings and work on them. It'd work better for everyone. 😊 Would love to see what you're cooking up next 😁

It might. Depends on if emuelec is compatible with the wheel or not.

No, you can't add lightgun games unless you have their Retroshooters- and the lightgun game is set up by them to run on the machine.

It should do. Make a backup of your microsd before you try it, and let us know if it succeeds 😁

TBH there's no reason why it shouldn't work. It should be fine.

​@@TeamPandory thx

Oops, that was me.

The voice actor in that game? Do you mean Dave the Diver? ... 🤣 But yeah, MS are going hard the last what, ten years in trying to take more control of YOUR system. Spying with co-pilot, and if you can remember the type of shenanigans with the XBOX ONE launch? Thankfully it's pretty easy to jump ship now, especially with the rise of online tools/ applications like canva, and also Proton being able to play most Windows games. The IPU was not activated, so that could be good, or bad, depending on how you view it. TBH I'd prefer a switch in the BIOS so we could activate/deactivate it if we need it. The APU itself is actually attached to the outer case using liquid metal. I probably botched it up by pulling it like that, but it was nice to know that it uses something higher-end vs the usual "toothpaste". AMD fixes, sorry we didn't explain. Teknoparrot is an arcade emulator for later games, such as Outrun 2, Tekken 7- and those arcade systems ran using GeForce GPUs. If you have a GeForce GPU in use, then most games will perform as they should. If you're using either Intel or Radeon (AMD), then you'll require fixes to be installed, or you'll be riddled with graphical glitching and errors. Textures not showing, things like that.

@@TeamPandory Thank you Dave.

@@TrusteftTech oh right, that was me being a fool 😂

@@TeamPandory You might want to work as a voice actor. You have a very good skill there.

Somebody stop me!

When gaming, your PC will have more stress on it, so you'll get more heat. DAW needs mostly CPU power, you should be fine tbh. ✌

Yeah, it's not bad at all. 🙂

Yes

@@TeamPandory thanks for your replay and for this tutorial, gonna be doing so with this guide 👍🏼

@@Nintality no worries. Let us know if it works for you 👍

@@TeamPandory Will do :) , thought the power coming from a usb port was to low for using on the mini. Looking forward on using mines again, really like this mini arcade

@@Nintality it only uses 5v 1a. It might benefit from using a 2a power brick but I think for this particular one it's enough.

Rob! 😂

Great car / tank! 💯😁

Hey there, thanks 👍 To be fair, my router is one that came with my ISP. It uses WiFi 5, and is through a couple of layers of dry wall. The test we usually do is probably for the "regular guy who never upgrades his stuff", rather than having top of the line equipment. If you're all WiFi 6E router with a mesh setup, I'm sure it'll work like gravy.

Definitely a positive review. As we mentioned, dongles can work around those points, but still would lose it's premium looks. Usb 2 has it's purpose which isn't immediately obvious, until you look at troubleshooting and knowing it doesn't need drivers. Guessing you prefer a quiet close instead of the summary eh ? 😄

I use an old iPhone SE for the video footage, then copy it over to a pc and edit it down using davinci resolve. There's a free version that does most of what you need. For voice, a usb mic is probably the place to go.

@@TeamPandory Thank you

Thanks man. Always appreciated 👍

Gina Wild is in a league of her own 😂

We've added a guide video on adding covers. You should also be able to scrape the games using the tool from skraper.net (on your computer), then move over the thumbnails to your a500 mini stick.

As I don't currently have a monitor with hdmi2, we could only get readings for regular 4k without HDR. Fluctuates from 17w-32w. Hope that helps 😉

@@TeamPandory thanks much appreciated!

Wahey! Thanks. They're definitely getting better, who knows, maybe by next year we'll get a metal case with great WiFi? 😉

4!

Ah, we had Rooibos, but I wanted to drink Typhoo today. 😄

I didn't think anyone would catch that 😄

Hey thanks! 😄✌ Is it 44 times better than the Tab 16? 🙂

I've found a potential fix online. In device manager, right click and check the properties of the card. Turn off 2.4ghz and aggressive roaming. Let me know if it helps at all

@@TeamPandory thanks. i did and it worked. It's crazy! The router is on 2,4 Ghz mode and the network card only 5 ghz and it's works.... I will send and email to GMKtec to complain on it!

Apparently the Retrotink 4k / 5x etc, are higher quality, covers many systems (and video modes), but with it being far more expensive, it niches down the product making it good for those willing to spend the same price as a PlayStation 5 on an upscaler. These dongles are simply a one trick pony, for one purpose.

@@TeamPandory i will buy the 5x Pro, i have al the consoles and Amigas etc., so it will be worth it as basically the cost for upgrading all of them will reduce the total cost per console proportionally. Delivered to Canada will be $ 379 USD.. My soldering skills are good but i am getting too old now to get the enthusiasm to tackle the big jobs :)

@@kipper2k use case will depend on if it's worth it or not, would be interested of hearing what you think of it.

@@TeamPandory sounds good, its now ordered, email says up to 2 weeks for shipping, probably longer, will give me time to sort out all my better cables :). I'll let you know results
