0.82 inches thin: the MOREFINE M10's flat chassis

The typical N100 box is a cube. The MOREFINE M10 is a flat bar: 5.5 inches long, 2.4 inches wide and 0.82 inches thick, or roughly 140 × 61 × 21 mm. That is closer to a portable SSD enclosure than to a desktop PC, and it changes where the machine can go.

A cube like the Beelink Mini S12 is 41 mm tall and sits on a desk. The M10 is half that height and a little over half the width, so it slides behind a monitor stand, under a TV on a VESA plate, or into the sleeve of a laptop bag between two offices. MOREFINE supplies a VESA mount for the behind-the-screen setup.

  • Behind a monitor: the flat profile sits flush on the VESA plate and does not push the screen forward.
  • Under a TV: two HDMI 2.0 outputs, 4K on each, with Wi-Fi 6 for streaming.
  • In a bag: a full Windows or Linux PC that weighs little more than its power adapter.

The chip inside is the standard N100: four Gracemont cores, four threads, 6MB of cache, a 3.4GHz turbo and Intel UHD graphics on a 10nm-class process. Intel rates it at 6W base power, which is what makes a case this thin workable. MOREFINE does not sell the M10 as fanless, and a flat case has less surface to shed heat than a cube, so expect some airflow noise under sustained load.

The side panel carries the everyday ports: USB 3.2 Type-A, a USB-C port in the product photos, the 2.5G RJ45 jack and a 3.5mm audio jack. WOL, PXE boot and auto power-on are supported in firmware, which covers remote wake-up and recovery after a power cut.

12GB LPDDR5 at 4800MHz on the board, 512GB NVMe in a slot

The M10 takes an unusual memory amount. 12GB of LPDDR5 at 4800MHz sits between the common 8GB and 16GB builds, and it is soldered to the board, as all LPDDR5 is. What ships is what the machine keeps.

For the N100, 12GB is a sensible figure. The chip's single memory channel means capacity matters more than bandwidth, and 12GB leaves Windows 11 plenty of room for a browser, an office suite and a video call at once. LPDDR5's higher clock gives the UHD graphics a small lift over DDR4 builds, which helps 4K playback and light games a little.

The SSD is the part to upgrade. The drive is a 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD, with MOREFINE rating the slot for drives up to 2TB. MOREFINE's own copy mentions both 500GB and 512GB, which is the same class of drive either way.

  1. Keep the stock drive for a desk PC; 512GB covers Windows, apps and working files.
  2. Swap to 1TB or 2TB NVMe for a media server or a local file store.
  3. Use USB 3.2 for extra bulk storage, since there is no documented second internal slot.
Memory decision: 12GB is fixed for life. If the plan includes Proxmox with several virtual machines, choose a DDR4 box with a SO-DIMM slot instead, such as the Beelink Mini S12 Pro. For desk work and a few containers, 12GB is enough.

An NVMe drive also matters for responsiveness. Boot, updates and app launches on NVMe are quicker than on the SATA or eMMC storage some budget N100s use.

Market position

How it fits the lineup

N100 mini PC models by type, September 2026. Highlighted: MOREFINE M10.

One 2.5G port or two: reading the M10's network spec

The M10's wired network is the spec to read carefully. The model name and headline call for a single 2.5G RJ45 port. The feature text describes 2.5G dual Gigabit Ethernet and mentions firewall and link-aggregation uses, which would need two ports.

The product photos show one RJ45 jack on the port side. Treat the M10 as a one-port machine unless MOREFINE confirms otherwise, and plan accordingly:

  • Desk or media PC: one 2.5G port is ideal, and it runs at 2.5G into a 2.5G switch.
  • Home server or NAS: one fast port is enough for file sharing and media streaming.
  • Router or firewall: one port is not enough without a USB Ethernet adapter or VLANs on a managed switch.

Wireless is current: Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. Wi-Fi 6 copes better than Wi-Fi 5 on busy home networks, and Bluetooth 5.2 handles a keyboard, mouse and headset together.

MOREFINE pitches the M10 at NAS and soft-router duty, and the N100 itself is well suited to both. Home Assistant, Pi-hole, Jellyfin with Quick Sync transcoding and a few Docker containers fit comfortably in 12GB. The N100 home server builds show which service mixes suit a single-port box, and the four-port N100 firewall boxes cover proper routing.

Expect typical N100 power draw: single-digit watts at idle in common setups, rising under load depending on the BIOS limits and what is plugged in. The N100 power figures give ranges with the variables named.

M10 against the Overclock 4C, S12 Pro and OUMAX

Three N100 boxes bracket the M10. MeLE's Overclock 4C is the other slim design, Beelink's Mini S12 Pro is the upgradable cube, and OUMAX offers two confirmed Ethernet ports.

Displays2× HDMI2× HDMI + USB-C2× HDMI2× HDMI
Wi-FiWi-Fi 6Not statedWi-Fi 6Wi-Fi 5

The MeLE Overclock 4C adds a USB-C port with power input and a third display, and a PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 slot. The Beelink Mini S12 Pro brings 16GB and four 10Gbps USB ports in a thicker case. The OUMAX dual-LAN N100 is the one to take for a two-port network build.

The M10's niche is clear from that line-up. It is the slimmest of the four with Wi-Fi 6 and a 2.5G port, and its NVMe drive sits in a standard M.2 slot that takes a bigger SSD later. What it gives up is memory headroom: the Overclock 4C, the S12 Pro and the OUMAX all ship 16GB, and the two cubes use DDR4, which in boxes that size is normally a replaceable SO-DIMM.

For a desk PC that will run Windows, a browser and office work for years, that trade barely registers. For a homelab box that may grow into a hypervisor, it does, and the S12 Pro or the OUMAX is the safer long-term choice.

Choose the M10 when:

  • Thinness and weight matter more than a third screen.
  • 12GB covers the workload for the life of the machine.
  • One fast Ethernet port and Wi-Fi 6 are all the network you need.
FAQ

Owner questions

Can I upgrade the RAM in the MOREFINE M10?

No. The 12GB of LPDDR5 is soldered to the board. The 512GB NVMe SSD can be replaced with a drive of up to 2TB.

Does the MOREFINE M10 have two Ethernet ports?

Its headline specifies one 2.5G RJ45 port, and the product photos show one jack. The feature text mentions dual Ethernet, so confirm with MOREFINE before a router build.

How thin is the MOREFINE M10?

It measures 5.5 × 2.4 × 0.82 inches, about 140 × 61 × 21 mm, and ships with a VESA mount.

Can the M10 drive two 4K monitors?

Yes. It has two HDMI 2.0 outputs, each supporting a 4K display.
