I didn’t order the semi-mini PC (ITX casing) because it was still a waste of space for me. Instead, I went for a mini PC that already has the latest chipset (AMD Ryzen 5 6600H, 16 GB DDR 5 RAM, 512 GB SSD, WiFi6). The mini-tower being offered to me only had DDR 4. The specs of this mini PC assure me that I’m good for the next 4-5 years.

I had put the unit on a laptop stand to dissipate heat underneath.

This one is so small that I think it’s better I bring this to SG instead of a laptop. It’s super handy. I’ll just chuck one of my keyboards and mouse in my luggage since I already have dual monitors in the office where I can plug in. I’ll just carry my Samsung Galaxy S Tab if I need to edit or write on the fly. I can fit that one in my handbag without causing shoulder strain.

However, I’m having problems with my DP jack. The HDMI is working but my second monitor uses an HDMI to Display Port cable. The systen can’t detect the monitor and much worse is it causes the PC to lag.

I had reinstalled Windows 11 Pro, updated software, updated AMD Radeon and AMD Ryzen drivers, but still the second monitor doesn’t work. 🥴 And now I only have a few hours left before I wake up again to cook breakfast.

Speaking of morning, my cat Kimchi is recharging her solar cells on my bed, hidden behind my curtain on a Sunday morning.

Ah it’s Monday again.
