Same for me, it's already at minimum 15% cheaper. The USB-C power is a killer feature, and the 12gb of RAM is a sweetspot for a low powered device like this. It keeps the SSD from getting wrecked by all the page files. It's a really nice all versatile machine, although if you don't use the USB-C charging or the media decoders on intel, a ryzen 5 5500u pc for 220 is a better buy.

Hey Robtech! You're the Mini Maniac I watch even when I'm not shopping for a new Mini. The thing is I am shopping for one now. I just purchased the Beelink Sei 12 with the 12th Gen Intel 12550H. It's a honey in the sense of general speed on the desktop, playing 60 fps KZitems, and having an almost silent fan. I'd simply get another one if prices weren't so prohibitive at the moment. I got one for $330 but I'd love something like it for under $299. I"m not a gamer or video editor but it is critical it has absolutely no problem with anything KZitem throws at it (like my Sei 12) -- i.e. -- NO DROPPED FRAMES. (Sure, it can drop one here or there, but you know what I mean.) Is there a Ryzen Mini that can do the same for under $300? Thanks if you see this and reply.

The N95 and N100 have Intel's Quicksync hardware decoding for various video formats. I tested a 4K60fps AV1 file using Firefox and no frames were dropped for the 5 minute video. I haven't done this same test with the cheaper Ryzen units, so I'm not sure how they do.

AMD has been getting more and more competitive, inching down to that magical 200$ pricepoint with their full blooded zen 2 cores and vega iGPUs. I wonder if intel can stay ahead of that development, but for now I'm perfectly happy with my purchase.

I doubt you can get very demanding performance with any contemporary processor. Passive cooling cannot cool reliably anything more than 10 Watts so they either have to throttle the processor performance when it overheats or let it run at higher temperatures, which increases the likelihood of all the electronic components dying faster from overheating. That's why I got a fanless N5105 - it is limited to below 10W. The N100 can reach 25W...

Lots of cheap Ryzen deals right now because 2 generations-old chips are effectively AMD's budget range. There is something rewarding about having an N100 Intel, in terms of being amazed at how far they've kept and how a budget processor is such a nice option these days. Then you remember that a 5600u costs about 50 dollars more and can actually game as well. Agree about the MoreFine, though; really sweet little machine at a bargain price!

Rob, I'm psychic!! I knew the Morefine M90 had a leg up going into this because of that metal case. And it's a nice machine, though the cooling issue would bother me. For anyone considering the Beelink 5500U I bought both the 5560U and the 5600H last fall and they were a lot more than this for a negligible performance difference. (I should point out that I messed up the SATA cable, and while I didn't think I'd ever use a 2.5" drive, I asked Beelink for a replacement, offered to pay, and after some communications difficulties, they understood what I wanted and sent a replacement at no charge very quickly. Having said all of that, if I knew I wouldn't need a SATA drive, I'd sure look at units with that extra little fan.

The problem with all these is reliability (sudden death), fan noise (tends to get worse with time), and 4 USB ports is often too few. I got Neosmay AC8 with N5105 processor for $200 with 250GB M.2 SATA SSD - fanless, does not heat up too much, snappy enough for documents, internet, videos. I don't play games and don't care for such performance. It also has 6 usb ports, which comes in handy. Extremely satisfied so far. For additional $45, I bought 500GB M.2 SATA SSD and external usb 3.0 enclosure to clone the internal drive and have a backup if it dies suddenly - will simply transfer the external SATA to the internal slot. It doesn't have bells and whistles but it just works well and reliably so far. My previous fanless mini PC was Quieter 3C, which had constant problems in everyday usage - could not synchronize sound on videos, sluggish, one HDMI port not working, and only 4 USB ports that were often not enough and with suspiciously low transfer speed from USB stick. Either I got a lemon, or in general the quality is low and people that write reviews do not use them as an everyday PC. I found only one review amongst many, that mentioned Quieter 3C was not synchronizing audio with video and that they could not solve the problem but connect an external sound bar through the sound output. Apparently, something is wrong with the audio processing through the HDMI ports, which makes me think the motherboard is sluggish or defective in some fundamental way.

Do some of these devices have significantly better hardware design that allows them to run without issues for several years?

I'd go with EQ12 at same pricing. Hard to know reliability on these units. The only minis I'm confident in for 24/7 use are Intel NUCs (now discontinued). If reliability is the most important factor, the Intel NUC 11 Essential is a decent option. Sadly, won't be updated to N100 CPUs, so performance is outdated.
