It requires a separate keyboard, which means more space usage and more cables. And not sure, but I think the N150 has a fan, so more noise.

- jsheard 1y agoN150 machines come with or without fans, the chip is cool enough to run passively with a decent heatsink. e.g. https://www.minix.com.hk/products/minix-z150-0db-fanless-mini-pc https://www.minix.com.hk/products/minix-z150-0db-fanless-min... The ones with fans tend to be cheaper and have better sustained performance though.
- card_zero 1y agoLooks like the whole tiny case is the heatsink, I like it.
- akazantsev 1y agoASUS PN42 is also passive, but they do not mention it. You can find this out from teardown pictures. They also have certified 32GB memory sticks from Crucial.
