MINIX NEO Z150-0dB and Z150-Aero – Fanless and actively-cooled Intel Processor N150 mini PCs with WiFi 6 and 2.5GbE

MINIX Z150-0db vs Z150-Aero

MINIX NEO Z150-0dB and NEO Z150-Aero mini PCs are both based on an Intel Processor N150 Twin Lake processor, but the first one is fanless, and the second is actively cooled. Both mini PCs ship with up to 16GB DDR4 memory and 512GB NVMe SSD storage, and the most obvious difference is that the fanless model comes with two external antennas, while the actively-cooled mini PC features internal antennas. But there are more. Let’s find out by checking out the specifications.

ESP32-C5 dual-band WiFi 6 SoC enters mass production, ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 board launched for $15

ESP32-C5 development board

Espressif Systems has just started mass production of the ESP32-C5 RISC-V wireless microcontroller with dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) WiFi 6, Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 (Zigbee, Thread) connectivity. The ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 development is now available for about $15 on AliExpress, and should soon show up on the company’s Amazon store. So far, WiFi-capable Espressif microcontrollers have only supported 2.4 GHz WiFi since it’s cheaper and offers better range for IoT applications, but some applications may benefit from 5 GHz WiFi, so the company unveiled the ESP32-C5 dual-band WiFi 6 and BLE RISC-V MCU in June 2022. Design probably took longer than expected, but we noted documentation for an ESP32-C5 beta board in March 2024, and finally, the company has just announced that mass production has started. We’ll have a closer look at the ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 board in this article, since it is different from the beta board. ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 specifications: Wireless module –  ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 SoC […]
