There are lots of questions about pricing and availability.

    I own a Mini PC with Intel N100 and it can reach 40W even when I just watch YouTube. I’m pretty happy with it though.

      IIRC chrome still uses the CPU to decode VP9/AV1, you need to use firefox for full hardware decode.

      Or use h264ify

        On an old nuc I’m using, Firefox with YouTube is a sluggish experience and hardware decide refuses to work. A lot of folks are finding the same, likely Google pushing us away from using Firefox.

          Any NUC has H264 decode on Linux, give Linux Mint a try?

          I think tho in about:config you need to set a vaapi flag to enabled.

            That’s really helpful, I’ll try that thank you. Yes the decode works fine in Chromium. It’s not that, it’s Google shenanigans.
