On Youtube/ETAprime, i've seen the 1st #StrixHalo #miniPC; the #GMKtek EVO-X2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPSMGpHQX6k

I'm sure, there'll be plenty more Max+ minis, this year …and the prices might decrease a bit too

…i'm actually not in a hurry - i have yet to finish playing SOMA (amazing on Radeon 780M), and Stalker2 hasn't been on sale, yet.

I still think that #AMD #StrixHalo, the Max+ with #Radeon 8060S, is one of the most amazing things in quite a while, BUT it's rather expensive.

Even if i weren't still paying off my Ryzen 7840HS mini PC, i'd be unlikely to pay/finance a 2000-ish bucks box!

For me personally, the better option is an #OCuLink dock and a Radeon 7800/9070, currently.

That fast "unified" V-/RAM is quite nifty, though - funny, how most models start at 64gig - i've recently upgraded my 7840HS to 64gig(16G APU VRAM).

Lilbits: More AMD Strix Halo mini PCs, Windows Update for third-party app updates, and Apple’s new operating system names

Installing app updates on a phone is pretty simple these days: if you have an iPhone, the App Store handles updates. And while Android users can sideload apps or install third-party app stores, most app updates are probably handled by the Google Play Store.

But installing updates on a PC? That’s a messier proposition. Microsoft has its own app store, but odds are are that most of the apps […]

Lilbits: Mozilla kills Pocket and Fakespot, ASRock crams a desktop Arrow Lake chip into a 1.92 liter mini PC

Now Mozilla has announced plans to shut down Pocket on July 8, 2025. Users can export (some of) their data until October, […]

🧵 2/2

currently, i'm running an AMD 7840HS + Radeon 780M (#PhoenixPoint, Zen4, 12 CUs of RDNA3)

#StrixPoint ain't much of an upgrade - #StrixHalo (the Max+) is really rather fancy

…i need to figure out, whether it's fancier (economically more reasonable) than running a 9070(XT[X]?) via a PCIe4 x4 OCuLink

…for now, i'm playing #SOMA, which is utter UNDERkill for my current 780M iGPU/APU. 🤣 🍻
