The N100 can run three displays, and most boxes make you use a USB-C or DisplayPort adapter to get there. TUREWELL fits three full-size HDMI ports instead, alongside 16GB of DDR4, a 512GB SSD, room for a second drive, and Wi-Fi 6.
The N100's display engine supports three screens at once, but most N100 boxes deliver the third through a USB-C or DisplayPort output. The TUREWELL puts three full-size HDMI ports on the back panel, each rated for 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz. Three ordinary HDMI cables, three monitors or TVs, no dongles.
Three native HDMI ports remove a whole class of desk problems. USB-C video depends on the monitor supporting DisplayPort alt mode, or on an adapter that adds a failure point and a loose connector. HDMI is what every monitor, TV and projector already has, so a three-screen desk goes together with the cables in the drawer.
Three 4K screens is the N100's limit, and the Intel UHD graphics handle desktop work, web pages and video on all three. It is not the hardware for gaming across three panels; the GPU has 24 execution units and runs up to 750MHz, fine for office and media work, not for 3D.
The media engine is the strong part. Hardware decoding of H.264, HEVC, VP9 and AV1 means each screen can play video while the four CPU cores stay free for everything else. For signage looping three video feeds, that is the difference between a smooth wall and a stuttering one.

TUREWELL ships the configuration an N100 desk PC should have: 16GB of DDR4 and a 512GB M.2 SSD. The case also takes a second drive, either a 2.5-inch SSD or an M.2 2280 drive, up to 2TB.
16GB is the right amount for three screens. Each monitor adds browser tabs and windows, and the N100's single memory channel means capacity is what keeps a busy Windows 11 desktop smooth. DDR4 in a box this size is normally a SO-DIMM stick rather than soldered chips, so a later swap stays possible; confirm with TUREWELL support if that matters.
The case measures 11.6 × 11.6 × 4.6 cm and weighs under 1 kg. That is taller than the flattest N100 boxes, and the height is what makes room for the 2.5-inch drive and the fan. The integrated fan keeps the chip at full turbo under sustained load, at the cost of some noise when it spins up.
A VESA mount option means the box can hang behind one of the three monitors, which keeps the desk clear and the HDMI runs short.
Beyond the three HDMI outputs, the port list is compact: one 12V DC input, one Type-C port, three USB 3.0 ports, one audio output and one gigabit RJ45 jack. Wireless is Wi-Fi 6 with Bluetooth 5.2.
The trade-offs sit in the network and USB columns. Gigabit is fine for a desk PC but slower than the 2.5G ports some rivals carry, and USB 3.0 at 5Gbps is half the speed of the 10Gbps ports on a Beelink Mini S12 Pro. For three-screen office work, neither limit bites.
Two firmware features help with signage and kiosks. An RTC alarm starts the box at a set time each morning, and auto power-on brings it back after a power cut without anyone pressing a button. Pair both with Windows auto-login and a startup app, and a menu board runs itself.
For homelab use the TUREWELL runs the same software as any N100, from Home Assistant to a Jellyfin server with Quick Sync transcoding. With one gigabit port and a fan, it is better placed as a desk machine than a closet server; the N100 home server builds cover boxes more suited to that role. Power draw is typical for the chip, with ranges in the N100 power consumption figures.
TUREWELL's own description refers to the machine as the HSI 100, the same model code RUPA uses for its HSI-N100. The two probably share an OEM design, though their published port lists differ. PELADN reaches three screens a different way, with two HDMI ports and a Type-C output.
| TUREWELL | RUPA HSI-N100 | PELADN | Beelink S12 Pro | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Displays | 3× HDMI | 2× HDMI, triple display rated | 2× HDMI + Type-C | 2× HDMI |
| Memory | 16GB DDR4 | 8GB DDR4 | 16GB DDR4 | 16GB DDR4 |
| Storage | 512GB M.2 | 256GB 2.5-inch SSD | 512GB SSD | 500GB M.2 |
| Ethernet | Gigabit | 2.5G (Intel I225-V) | Gigabit | 2.5G |
| Wi-Fi | Wi-Fi 6 | Wi-Fi 6 | Not stated | Wi-Fi 6 |
The RUPA HSI-N100 is the budget sibling, with half the memory and a 2.5G port. The PELADN N100 matches TUREWELL on memory and storage but needs a USB-C screen or adapter for the third display. The Beelink Mini S12 Pro stops at two screens and adds faster USB and networking.
Read the table by the job. For three HDMI screens with no adapters, the TUREWELL is the only box in the group that does it natively. For a two-screen desk, the Beelink's faster ports win.
For the lowest outlay on a light workload, the RUPA's 8GB is enough for signage but tight for a three-screen Windows desktop. The TUREWELL sits at the point where memory, storage and outputs all match a real three-monitor office setup.
Choose the TUREWELL when:
Spec comparisons across every N100 box are in the N100 mini PC specs breakdown.
Yes. It has three HDMI ports, each rated for 4096 × 2160 at 60Hz, and the N100 supports three displays simultaneously.
Yes. It takes a second drive, either 2.5-inch or M.2 2280, up to 2TB, alongside the 512GB system SSD.
No. It uses an integrated cooling fan, which keeps the N100 at full speed under load but is audible when working hard.
One gigabit RJ45 port, plus Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
