I have a choice to do for my next #btc #node:
- NiPoGI AK2 Plus Intel n100, RAM 16gb, SSD 1TB
Or
- Mac mini 2012 i7, RAM 16GB, SSD 1TB.
What's your best choice ? Thanks ⚡

200€ each btw 🥜
An advice nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 maybe? Thanks :)
both same price then will go with AK2 INTEL N100 reason-
base power draw of only 6W max 30W
2.5 SATA expansion slot if case wanna ADD another drive
Depends on that i7, 2012 probably very old gen, get the latest Gen CPU between the two
It's this one. Things concerning me is the two devices have 12 old years from each other 😅 
Seems to be this one : Intel Core i7-3615QM @ 2.30GHz

You can check tom’s hardware for cpu benchmark tests
TRIGKEY Desktop Computer Ryzen 5 5560U(6 Cores, 12 Threads) 16GB DDR4 500GB M.2 NVME(Max 2350MB/S) if can get 200€ - amazon . com/ryzen-mini-pc/s?k=ryzen+mini
289€ 😅
And I need 1TB for the BTC blockchain. Would be even better with a 2TB as I want it to be a BTC node for the next 5 years minimum. So your remark about adding a new SSD is a fair point. But it's also possible on the iMac apparently : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KlR-RWtqzis
future expansion is important
