A bit expensive, but something like this could be a worthy upgrade on the good old PC-Engine APU4 boards many self-hosters use.
I love the fanless design. I have a four 1 GB board, it served me very well. No fans either.
My APU4 running OpenWRT kinda struggles to run SQM on my 1.2gbps connection, cuts the download speeds in half, I wonder if this i3 could do any better.
It’s a good-looking device, but it was stupid of them to use M1 as the name when Apple’s got that name locked down as far as what shows up in a search engine.
Dang, I was actually interested until I saw the possible non standard USBc port instead of a flipping barrel jack. Give me PD or give me a barrel jack.
For a fixed installation I don’t think the power delivery mechanism matters that much. For something you’re moving around yeah 100% use a standard plug.
any immobile infrastructure doesn’t really matter right, you’re going to set it up once and never move it
Pardon my ignorance, I’m just starting to learn some things here; what are the applications of this device?
To serve as a router or firewall.
