Comment on Mini PC for Jellyfin

It really depends on if you need transcoding or not. If no, it doesn’t matter. If yes, check for integrated GPUs on both models and check that it will work as a transcoder for jellyfin.

What do you think about a i5-7
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 months ago
People generally recommend 8th gen or higher Intel chips for transcoding so I’d look at alternatives. I have a Dell with an 8th gen i5 and that works very well.

How much was it?

That is Kaby Lake and seems to support up to HEVC for decoding which might be enough for you

For a bit of future proof you might want to check out something Tiger Lake or newer since it seems like they support AV1 decoding in hardware.

Unfortunately tere doesn’t seem to be a market for used Tiger Lakes yet.
