this is the usecase i want a personal unit for. I have a Pi4 which I use mostly for Ci/CD and maint but sometimes there is just no way to easily get something to run on ARM and I'm firing up a 800watt PC or a 160watt laptop again.
IMO either of the Intel options we are discussing here will work well for you.
Thanks! I think I'm gonna go for the N5105. I was looking at the spec diff between that and the N100 and though the N100 has more processing power, it seems the N5105 has better GPU for less price. Strange.
It's always those details. I want the gpu so I can do transcoding of new files. Is you don't need a gpu go for the 100
definitely considering transcoding as an option. Even if I use it for the github runner work, some of the data pipelines use puppeteer and Chrome, which needs a GPU for nicely rendering CSS. So I think the 5105 is the better bet... :)
