Review of SOYO M4PLUS2 Mini PC (N150) from AliExpress

Recently, a discount was offered on the N150 Mini PC on AliExpress.

With a coupon, it cost around $107.

Due to the high exchange rate, it was about 150,000 KRW.

Given that it has 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, it seemed like a good deal.

I bought it immediately.

1. Appearance and Performance

The appearance was more satisfactory compared to when I bought the N100 T8 Plus Pro before.

For 150,000 KRW, it had quite a neat finish.

The ports include 1 HDMI and 1 DP, allowing for dual monitor setup.

There are 2 USB hubs on the back and 2 on the front.

Seems adequate.

When I moved a button on the back...

The top lid just opened up, allowing for RAM and storage replacement.

What expandability!

Not sure where the RAM comes from.

Would have been nice if they included Puskill, but that's probably asking too much.

Took pictures of the warranty card and user manual included in the paperwork.

Checked for any issues after connecting and started by extracting the Windows key for a full reinstall.

It's satisfying to delete all the software that came from China.

After reinstalling Windows and during updates and settings, the fan was running hard.

Felt slightly warm to the touch.

Seems fine performance-wise with this.

2. Review

Whether it's N100 or N150, the performance is almost the same.

Handles light document processing, web browsing, and a bit of Python coding well.

Since hardcore gaming isn't my goal, I think it will be useful going forward.
