mjcurl··on Show HN: Every Ask HN about book recommendations
thanks!
mjcurl··on Ask HN: What's the "best" book you've ever read?
The Commonwealth Saga. A sci fi series by Peter F. Hamilton, it covers so many ideas that I'd stay up wondering about. I got engrossed in the sci fi future it created.
mjcurl··on Ask HN: Developer laptop that doesn't suck in 2024 and it's not Apple silicone
I personally love my Vivobook. It doesn't get too hot or loud and was a good price.

I actually built a tool to compare laptops that you might find useful: https://comparelaptopprices.com

mjcurl··on Show HN: Laptop Prices
I think matte/glossy is possible. The others aren't accurate in seller listings, but it might be possible from other resources.
mjcurl··on Show HN: Laptop Prices
Prices are updated once a day. Sellers include battery life and weight, but they are often inaccurate. I'll need a better dataset.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Thanks! I'll take a look.

Update: cleaned up CPUs a bit.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
UK marketplace has been added :)
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Not really. I just thought it would offer better performance and keep the stack simple. If you like I can elaborate.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Definitely. Bottlenecks will probably be network and storage type. You can probably get a cheap mini PC and add some disks to it.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
added!

mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Thank you!
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
I'll add a custom search for that, thank you!
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Unfortunately eBay doesn't take in affiliates from my country.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Definitely made more for buying used mini pcs.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
I'll try to include some custom searches for 'good' models.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Agreed, changed it to an extras filter.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
I added keyword filters, hopefully you can use that for NVMe. About the affiliate link: eBay doesn't take in registrations for the country I live in.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
I have added a UK version. More EU countries coming soon.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Thanks for the info! Listings often fail to mention many things, and aren't standardized, so it's quite a mess.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
added!

credit to diskprices.com for the inspiration.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
They do work great as basic computers! Something to give to an older relative perhaps.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
I was actually going to make one for workstations, since that is what I thought the best deal was for my home server. Then I did some research, and realized mini pcs are a better deal now. Still might build it though.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
I've added keyword filters so you can include/exclude keywords.
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
UK version: https://lowcostminipcs.com/uk/
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Thanks! Here's the UK version: https://lowcostminipcs.com/uk/
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
The eBay api doesn't tell you which fields are variable, so you have to do that yourself. Do you still have the link?
mjcurl··on Low Cost Mini PCs
Update: I have added the UK marketplace https://lowcostminipcs.com/uk/ as well as keyword filters for stuff like processors.

Thank you everyone for the feedback!
