2 days flawless so far.
180$ Mele N5105 with a 80$ USB coral and CP-AI 2.10.
Had to turn off USB power management and set it to 100% min cpu. It's toasty so I'm trying 20% min cpu.

CP-ai is very fickle so I will update if it craps out.

Nice. I hear the Coral adapters don't work reliably on newer Codeplex AI versions so maybe don't upgrade for a while.

How much RAM in that system?

I've noticed that in the USA, mini PCs with the N95 or N100 CPU are remarkably cheap on Amazon (some of them a lot cheaper than N5105), and either is a significantly faster CPU than N5105.

You're right! I'll swap. Thanks!
Intel has such confusing lineup that I didn't even think past the N5105
I might be able to return the Coral as well and gone is the scare of that thing overheating or disconnecting.

Edit: the N100 unfortunately has a much weaker iGPU
