Asus PN50 for Home Server

[donttakemeseriously]

Hi All,

I have been looking at replacing my current setup with an Intel NUC but with all the variations out there was getting a bit swamped with which one to select however I have just seen Asus are releasing the following in a month. I thought I'd see what peoples opinions are on AMD hardware and whether it would be suitable for this Docker setup we all use?

I am currently using Ubuntu on a headless setup but I am considering to use this has a headed server maybe for CCTV, Plex Media Player, etc later on down the line. I imagine it would be suitable for hardware transcoding under a Plex Server container.

Sorry if this isn't the right method to ask but appreciate any feedback on this type of setup.

I ended up building a custom server based on an Intel Core i5-9600T to be on the safe side for hardware transcoding in the event I went down that route.
