Notebookcheck tests the Bosgame M4 Neo with AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS, 32 GB RAM and a 1,024 GB SSD. We also take a look at the 3D performance in combination with an eGPU.
Stability and resiliency you get from a system like this. Obviously stacking a Ryzen 7 against any RPI is not possible / fair really.
If you have a RPI around, it is a great starting point for a lot of thjngs. At some moment ypu will just want something can be extended, doesn’t rely on SD card, isn’t too picky about which SSD you give it etc.
I have one as a media server
Anything else?
Proxmox server, *arr stack, Jellyfin, dns filtering, reverse proxy, home assistant, plant management, file server, archive warrior …
Want me to continue?
Besides a server…
It’s a decent 1080p gaming rig. Obviously you need to manage expectations but these AMD iGPUs are very capable.
What is?
Anything you’d need a smaller system for that a laptop/notebook can’t achieve but a traditional deskrop/sff system is to big for.
In the end it’s just a small PC.
It’s not going to do anything you can’t do with a laptop because they’re using laptop processors.
Too big how?
What would be the advantage using one of these over, say, a raspberry pi?
ARM vs x86(x64)
Besides that: Performance (and not even that considering what iMacs can provide)
Besides that? Probably not much else.
Technically a Pi (-clone) suffices for most tasks.
