Hello all, I recently setup jellyfin on my RPi 4 with an external HDD attached and after a few tests I decided to move on. On ebay I found a refurbished Fujitsu Mini PC with a Pentium G4560. It is way cheaper than the Lenovo ThinkCentre M720q (with a G5400T) which I saw being recommended a lot.

My question is:

how does the higher TDP of the former 54 W with a base frequency of 3.50 GHz compare to the latter with a TDP of 35 W for 3.10 GHz in a real world scenario running jellyfin?

For now I will continue using my external HDD because the prices for new drives is too high for me.

How much did you end up paying? Did you have to pay tax, customs fees etc? $200 sounds almost too good to be true. Do you run Linux on it? Any driver issues? I’m looking for a replacement for my NAS right now. On paper this one looks pretty good.

I opted for the version with RAM and nvme for $270. had to pay shipping, but no import tax (lucky me). So all in all it was about $300 for me.

And yes I run Linux on it. Arch Linux to be precise. Have not encountered any driver issues.
