These NASbooks are sooooo close to what I want!
My problem is that none of them have an internal power supply. They all require a power adapter that's decidedly less easy to source than an IEC cord. I have had 3 separate experiences where I give someone instructions to grab a box and the power adapter... and they show up with the box and without the power adapter (or with a power adapter in a box of similar power adapters and no volt/amp/size rating on the box to disambiguate). In short, the internal power supply is something I actually care about.
- bombcar 3y agoIt's harder and harder to find small computers with internal power, because they've found that nobody counts the power brick in the "size" (remember the original Xbox?). The best bet might be to wait until they've all finalized on USB-C.
- smallmancontrov 3y agoYep, that's probably how it has to be. Hopefully USB4NET can save us from "gigabit ethernet is enough for everyone," too.
