Memory support includes up to 16GB RAM across 1 slot at 3200 MT/s. Storage support includes up to 2 storage drives including 2 NVMe SSD slots and 1× PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe and 1× PCIe Gen3 x1 NVMe. Display support includes support for up to 2 displays. Networking includes 2× 1G Ethernet. Physical design includes a 120 × 120 × 37 mm chassis (0.53L). Cooling information lists 70 mm main fan. Power information lists Custom power supply rated at 45W and 6W TDP. Lifecycle information lists 1-year warranty and release date listed as 25-Oct-2024.

Based on its overall score of 154.3, Trigkey KEY N100 is positioned as a mainstream mini PC entry in this dataset; compare it against alternatives by CPU class, GPU type, memory ceiling, storage expansion, LAN, and port selection.

Verdict

Best for

basic office work, web browsing, digital signage, router/firewall or homelab use, very small desk setups.

Avoid if

you need modern AAA gaming or sustained GPU rendering; you need a high-speed external-GPU or advanced docking path; you need fast wired networking beyond basic Gigabit Ethernet.

Alternatives
  • AOOSTAR T8 Plus / M8S — better value at comparable performance
  • GMKtec/Morefine Nucbox K11 4090M — higher performance ceiling
  • CWWK/Topton 1245U 8x2.5G — stronger wired networking for homelab use

Review

The Trigkey KEY N100 is a ultra-compact mini PC built around Intel Celeron N100 and Intel Iris Xe 24EU integrated graphics. With a listed price around $95, it is aimed at buyers looking for basic office work, web browsing, digital signage, router/firewall or homelab use, very small desk setups. The core spec sheet is solid for its class: up to 16GB RAM across 1 slot at 3200 MT/s, up to 2 drives, including 2 NVMe slots (1 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe), 2×1GbE, and basic display and USB connectivity. The 154.3 overall score suggests a more specialized or entry-level role, so it should be judged by fit-for-purpose features rather than raw benchmark ambition. The listed release date is 25-Oct-2024. The main reason to pause is fit: avoid it if you need modern AAA gaming or sustained GPU rendering; you need a high-speed external-GPU or advanced docking path; you need fast wired networking beyond basic Gigabit Ethernet. Overall, the Trigkey KEY N100 makes the most sense when its CPU/GPU balance, port selection, and expansion profile match your workload; otherwise, compare it against similarly priced mini PCs with better networking, quieter cooling, or stronger upgrade paths.
