Giveaway Week 2022 ended about a month ago, but we’ve got a new surprise for our readers, as MeLE wants to give away two of their Intel Celeron N5105 Jasper lake mini PCs:
- MeLE PCG02 Pro with 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage sold for $249.99 on Amazon, down to $199.99 after applying a $50 coupon
- MeLE Quieter3C with 8 GB RAM, 128 GB storage sold for $259.99 on Amazon, down to $219.99 after applying a $40 coupon
Ian reviewed both in the last few months with both Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04. He found them to have similar performance, with the smaller PCG02 Pro lacking an M.2 NVMe slot, having fewer ports, and not supporting DisplayPort Alt. mode on its USB Type-C port. The PCG02 Pro comes with two HDMI ports for dual display setups, while the Quieter3C offers one HDMI port, one mini DisplayPort, and a USB-C port with Displayport Alt. mode for triple display setups. Despite their thin design, both mini PCs come with Gigabit Ethernet and WiFi 6 connectivity.
To enter the MeLE’s giveaway simply leave a comment with your country and whatever else you’d like to say (no links in the body of the comment). If the country is missing, I’ll consider the entry void. Other rules are as follows:
- This is a global contest, so anybody can participate
- Only one entry per participant. I will filter out entries with the same IP and/or email address.
- The contest is open for 48 hours starting at 14:00 (Bangkok time).
- Comments will be closed after 48 hours. If comments are open, the contest is still going on.
- The two winners will be selected with random.org and announced in a pinned comment in the comments section below. The first one will get the PCG02 Pro, and the second the Quieter3C.
- I’ll contact each winner by email before putting them in contact with MeLE to arrange shipping. I’ll expect an answer within 24 hours, or I’ll pick another winner.
- Note that I may not be able to contact people who log in with Facebook or Twitter, so it’s better to use an email address to enter the draw.
- Shipping is handled by MeLE. The company told me they’d also try to handle VAT and customs duties, but it’s not possible for all regions (Africa and South America are more complicated)
Good luck everybody!
