Minisforum S100

Minisforum unveiled the S100 mini PC after it was introduced at CES 2024. The Minisforum S100 is a pocket-sized mini PC that does not require a power plug for its recharging. It is powered by the Alder Lake-N CPU called the N100 and comes with a pocket-sized design. The new Minisforum S100 mini PC supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). The gadget is suitable for digital signage, small workspaces, and educational settings that do not require high computing power.

The new mini PC joins a list of specs-laden devices that it has released of late. The S100 is currently being launched at a discounted and promotional price. It is a lightweight and compact mini PC powered by the Intel N100 processor. The processor has a quad-core setup and omits Hyper Threading. The 6W Intel N100 is paired with 8GB of LPDDR5 memory. The Minisforum S100 does not feature a storage drive due to its pretty small size. It therefore has only 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage.

The Minisforum S100 has an in-built cooling system despite its small size. It is equipped with a small fan attached to a heatsink. The device operates at a noise level of 24dB when it’s idle and 43 dB at full load. The mini PC does not require a dedicated power cable for its operation. Apart from its support for PoE, the S100 has a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port that is used to power the device. The mini PC also has two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and one HDMI 2.0 interface.

The S100 is compatible with Bluetooth 5.2 and WiFi 6 connectivity. It supports dual 4K displays and is equipped with Windows 11 operating system pre-installed. The launch price of the Minisforum S100 is US$ 189 and can be purchased directly via the Minisforum website.
