The manufacturer of the 'bonkers' Xeon PC we previewed a few days ago came up with another outrageous design. The S1 is based on a recycled 15-year old CPU - an Intel Core i3-2100 - and is positioned as a low budget mini PC for AI task automation using OpenClaw.

At $99 down from $199 at Newegg, it's more a cautionary tale rather than a decent deal. So no, don't buy this piece of technology that belongs to a museum, an example of a company astroturfing on a red-hot technology term to sell old tat.

If your budget can extend to $200 (but not beyond), these are the PC’s I’d recommend instead. Just bear in mind that they will only be useful for light office work and casual gaming.
