Almost perfect
Look, who's going to try to use this thing for a gaming computer? No one. I don't even know why that's a rating consideration. This did everything I wanted it to do. It' a tiny Windows computer that you can plug directly into your monitor and go. Because it's so good at what it does, I am only going to list the negative, but you can assume that other than these things, I love it. I knocked off one star for the following:1. No audio out. Not a deal breaker. HDMI includes audio, so if your monitor has speakers, you're good.2. Two USB ports. In this form factor, how many could you actually fit? I assume that that's the reason for only two. Thing is, you almost always need three, especially for a device with limited internal storage. Keyboard, Mouse, USB memory stick. Again, not a make or break, but a strong desire. Sure, you can add a small USB hub, but even the smallest hub doubles the size of the hardware, if not more.OK, that's it. Other than that, perfect. I am not going to ding it for the small SSD, because that's a limitation imposed by Microsoft when they license the operation system to these lightweight devices for almost nothing. Could be bigger. Would like it to be bigger. Needs to be bigger. But it's not their fault.

Very good Small computer
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Lets start off by saying that this little computer is very useful .I have a great projector , it is just annoying that every-time I want to use the projectorI would have to log my heavy laptop every where . So i decided to look trough amazon for a computer stick . This one looks good because it is fan-less, having a fan less computer while using a projector is very important because of how having any noise kills the movie .This mini pc is the best investment I ever put to my theater system !Although it is not the fastest thing ever having only 2gb ram and 32gb emmc storage , It is quite and can push 1080p video without any hickup .It has enough storage to stream movie from amazon prime video . This little computer only cost $100For what you get for what you pay for , this little tool is very useful. I will look into more home theater Hardware in the future , This little pc is a very good investment into your theater setup. Over all I really recommend this mini computer . It is worth every penny i spent on it. Good Job Ace PC!!! Look forward to see you in the future again !!!-Ryan

Smallest computer i've ever seen
This thing is as small as one of those wifi USB thingies. I couldn't believe how a thing this small can run windows and pretty good at that. I had bought a mini pc last month and i was using that to stream movies, steam and other things to my living room. It worked so well that i had to get one for my room as well.This worked pretty awesome, it has 2 gb ram so i had some problems with opening too many tabs but a few tabs were not a problem. All sorts of video formats worked as it has windows and i didn't notice any problems with video playback. As this is bought mainly for streaming videos it performed pretty well in that department. I plugged an external HD to my router which acts sort of like a NAS server and i use this PC stick to play videos directly over wifi.Don't expect to play any games on this as this is not designed for gaming or any heavy processing tasks. I installed some retro emulators on this and they worked like a charm. Steam link also worked awesomely but i don't use it for that as i have the PC in my room as well.The best thing about this PC stick is that there is no clutter. There is literally just 1 wire coming out of my PC. It plugs directly into the TV via HDMI so there is no wires other than the power wire. I have the wireless keyboard/mouse combo from Logitech which i use for mouse/keyboard. This thing can make your TV smart (if you don't have a smart TV), i always prefer Windows over Android or other OS for TV's anyways.Small, awesome little computer with ALOT of uses.

Ok but needs usb WiFi stick if you update windows.
The device itself is okay and performs reasonably well. The big issue is the networking adaptor they chose to use is not compatible with the latest Windows updates. If you install any windows updates it completely bricks the adaptor. I’ve gone though two of these computers and the same thing happened each time. There is no way to recover from this. Even reinstalling windows or restoring a previous backup or uninstalling the windows updates do not fix the issue. The adaptor is no longer seen by the system. So either figure out how to prevent Windows from ever updating, which requires a bit of effort editing the settings file that controls this, or you need to buy a usb WiFi adaptor. This issue has been acknowledged by Microsoft but after 2-3 years it’s still not fixed so don’t count on that.

This makes an excellent video server.
I had a 32" TV without a cable box, but with an HDMI input. I set this up on a computer monitor, going through the entire Windows 10 setup procedure, which was nicely automated and simple enough. Then, when it was at the home screen, I plugged the unit into my spare 32" TV and it acts as a video server, totally eliminating the need for a cable box. Basically it turns an old TV into a computer and a smart TV. Wonderful graphics to boot. Its a great buy for this purpose, although it'd be way too slow for gaming.

Bricked after first Windows upate
I was able to run the PC Stick exactly one time. Finished the setup process, then initiated Windows update (as one must to ensure the PC has the latest security fixes). The system never came back after the required reboot. No screen output, no BIOS menu available ... nothing.Amazon says it will only accept returns of computers that are dead on arrival. Not sure where that leaves me.

An excellent second PC for browsing and email.
This works good for a backup PC for browsing and email or even light office work. It is not really good for more strenuous tasks. But it can help you do those more strenuous tasks easier by allowing you to do your browsing and email from this machine while your stronger PC does the harder work such as gaming, video editing, etc.Also has potential for displaying presentations or status monitors. A presentation PC you can fit in your pocket.
