Need help choosing between Sudobox 8745 HS and MSI Cubi NUC AI 125H for homelab
Ryzen 7 8745 HS -
https://sudobox.in/product/amd-ryzen-8745hs-mini-pc-ddr5-dual-25g-lan-dual-nvme
Price - ₹35490.00 (1 month warranty)
Price - ₹41,308 (3 years warranty)
Considering these two mini pcs as a replacement for my desktop. The plan is to use it as my primary machine for the next few years and later repurpose it as an always-on Proxmox node running VMs, containers, and homelab services.
My concerns:
-
The 8745HS is an HS mobile chip — is it reliable enough for 24/7 always-on operation long term?
-
Is the MSI 3-year warranty worth ₹5,818 extra given the 8745HS actually outperforms it?
-
Anyone running Sudobox hardware in India long term? Reliability experiences?
I'm also open to alternative mini PCs available in India around the ₹35k–₹45k range if there are better options for long-term reliability and homelab use
