Not great timing, I know, but I'm thinking a Intel mini PC (e.g: N150, 11th Gen i5/i7) would work for my #OpenBSD testing & hacking, Any help towards this would be greatly appreciated. ​

@brynet I think the Zen 1 will be significantly faster than the N150.

@js Perhaps, but I'd like to move it off my desk and maybe run it headless in another room, keep it for doing builds or something, maybe with a new CPU fan (stock one is shot), a mini PC would be nicer I think and adequately fast. ​

@js Well it doesn't have to be the N150, I picked it because it has features I want (BTI, PKU), but any modern Intel would be fine, i5/i7 etc.

@brynet Yeah, that would make more sense. Or alternatively, if the performance class of an N150 is really enough for you, a Raspberry Pi 5 has similar performance.

@js Not really interested in the Raspberry Pi 5 hardware, performance isn't the main deciding factor at all.

I would like to get my hands on something like the Qualcomm X2 Elite/Plus, in a mini PC form factor, though.
