Field notes
The index treats networking and power consumption as first-class buying criteria rather than burying them in prose. Its rows include details such as four 2.5GbE ports on an N100 router, dual 10GbE on several Minisforum and CWWK systems, and approximate idle draw for many models. The page also separates fresh price scrapes from hand estimates and leaves unavailable values blank, giving the comparison a visible rule against invented precision.
