Can't wait for RK3588 vs N100.

Greetings from across the pond near Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA. With the appeal of mini PCs, it would be interesting to see a comparison with an N100 and/or N200 based machine. Thanks for yet another super-max groovy First-Class video. You make it look like so much fun. Wait ... it doesn't just LOOK like fun, it IS fun to build computers like this! Thanks for all your hard work to bring your viewers such interesting videos. It just doesn't get better than EC.
-
Oh yes! Please compare the N100 and Radxa systems under Ubuntu! That would be a very helpful video to see. Thank you for all your educational content.
-
I always love your clear explanations sprinkled with some light and dry humor.
-
Of course, would love to see a comparison video. I wouldn’t mind seeing it compared to other computers also. Looking forward to your next video!

Wow, Stanley the Knife, Mr. Scissors, AND Mr. Screwdriver in the same build video? Stuff has definitely gotten real! I am a bit sad that we didn't get to pay a visit to the WebGL Aquarium this time though. With that said, this was a fun build to watch and I'd like to see the RK3588 PC pitted against the N100 PC hopefully in the not-too-distant future. :)

Always fun to watch a PC build on EC. I don't think I will be building a PC in the near future, but if nothing else, it brings back memories of many hours spent on PC builds. Thanks for another video Chris. Take Good Care.
-
Thanks for adding the power consumption numbers! This is a lovely addition to your videos!
-
It is a joy to my eyes to see you engaging in those beautiful things. Am a man with a stressful life pattern. Watching your videos chills me down. Thank you!
-
Definately, a comparison video would be most welcome.
-
Good morning! Looks like we got a pretty rad PC build this week.
-
What a beautiful build, Chris. And hearing you say “let’s go and get started” always gets my heart beating a little bit faster. I guess it’s pavlovian by now... :D
-
I always enjoy unboxing and exploring new hardware vicariously through EC. Very nice ARM board with lots of connectivity options. Can’t wait to get my own!
-
Chris that brand of that Mini-ITX case is actually named after a polish composer, Frederic Chopin
-
Brilliant - it is just as beautiful as I initially thought - I really hope they make an upgrade of the RK3588 sometime soon. When my desktop dies I really hope I can replace it with something like this. The RPi5 I have replaced my Atom webserver with, about a month ago, has already impressed me plenty.
-
Love to see the Intel/Arm comparison video.
-
very cool! love the rk3588 soc, it's crazy how powerful it is.
-
Oh yes please - comparison to an N100 system would be very good
-
Many thanks. It’s a new day for building! The hobby thankfully continues.
-
Another great EC build video. Looking forward to further updates. Great to see Stanley and Mr Scissors gainfully employed again.
