SZBOX S100 is a pocket-sized mini PC powered by an Intel Processor N100 CPU, with 16GB LPDDR5 memory, and features such as 2.5GbE & WiFi 6 networking and support for dual 4K display setups through HDMI ports.
The mini PC is either offered as a barebone model with 16GB RAM and no storage or with a 256GB to 1TB M.2 SATA SSD preloaded with Windows 11 Pro. Other highlights include three USB 3.2 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.
SZBOX S100 specifications:

While the models with storage ship with Windows 11 Pro, Linux should also work as we’ve earlier found out and documented in Beelink EQ12 Processor N100 mini PC review. Just make sure to use a recent Linux kernel for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth to work.
There are now plenty of affordable Alder Lake-N mini PCs with the new Processor-branded CPUs that deliver a good price/performance ratio, and the SZBOX S100 just adds another option for users who need fast wired and wireless networking, dual (4K) display setups, along with three USB ports in a portable form factor. The main downsides of this model are that it can’t be fanless with that tiny size and NVMe storage is not supported.
The SZBOX S100 is sold on Aliexpress for $184 in its barebone version, but a complete system can be had for $206 to $241 with a 256GB to 1TB SATA SSD.
