Perfect as a portable media PC
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I managed to setup everything in less than half an hour, plug and play with USB keyboard and mouse. Built in Wifi for connecting to internet and 2 HDMI out for dual screen if needed. I tested it with Microsoft Word, online browser games and the basic Youtube and Amazon Video streaming and all works fine.Anything require heavy 3d or 2d intensive processing power then there will be slow down as this is not a powerful gaming PC, it will handle all office work, I use it to slice 3D model for my 3d printer and it works perfectly. The fan will kick in when it is needed and when under full load it is audible but not loud.It comes with a licensed copy of Windows 10 which is well matched with the mini PC. I wish the HDMI cable and power cable can be longer but I saw the instruction for the mounting system to have the PC behind the TV or monitor so I guess that is how it was designed to be mounted, out of sight etc.

don't hesitate!
well... after reading hundreds of reviews and watching countless video's of this little beauty, i bit the bullet and bought myself one and wow, is it worth the money!! when i first set it up.. it had very minor lags, but then i upgraded it to the latest software and all those lags disappeared. it runs smooth, it is SUPER quiet... no heat to it, and it is the size on my palm. Quite hard to believe something so powerful can be inside this little metal box. but like they say, Good things come in small packages! i am really suprised and overjoyed with it. i was running a windows 7 dell office pc, which as we know are bulky, and ofcourse Now not recieving updates, so buying myself this is an absolute gem for how good it is. every single pennys worth. BUY IT!!! :)

Packing power in a tiny box.
I bough this after purchasing a 13" pen display tablet for my daughter and realising that it is portable, but would need something like a laptop to go with it to to be easily moved about. I began by researching laptops which would be powerful enough for art work etc, but dropped on this.After receiving it, I set it up with the pen display, and installed all software needed for a budding artist. It worked like a charm. I decided to test just what this thing could do, and downloaded some games like Asphalt 9, to see how it handles games. I was blown away at its power, it can play mid range games with ease, things like Minecraft and Fortnight would work in this thing no problem. Its not capable of dealing with top end games, but packs more punch than you would think for such a small device.I bought a 2.5" 240GB SSD and installed it with ease, increasing the system's capacity, I also bough a blu tooth fold up keyboard with trackpad, and a clip on usb speaker, which now means that not only can this be used as an artists station capable of easily being thrown in a bag and setup at any power point, but connect the keyboard and clip on the speaker and you can listen to music, game on it, do homework or throw in a usb Blu Ray player and you can even use it for watching movies. So now my daughter has a scalable PC solution capable of being used at home or on the go. On her desk we have a monitor with a keyboard and mouse, where she can hook it up and it becomes a full on home computer.

Decent PC for the price
Works exactly as hoped apart from a couple of niggles: was working fine with my TV for a few weeks and then the TV could no longer 'see' the HDMI signal from this PC. This TV is quite a few years old now, but this is still a pain. The PC continues to work with other TVs/my projector etc.When the PC is working reasonably hard the fan noise is pretty bad. I used it in the bedroom for a short while but had to move it as the fan would've kept me awake.Apart from the above, this is a good machine for browsing, watching videos and, in my case, running CCTV monitoring software. Not a PC for editing video or playing demanding games on though.

Small, powerful, goodlooking and extremely well thought out
I bought the 6gb version with celeron and 120gb ssd to use as an ubuntu server.Amazingly it came with windows 10 for the price, which I backed up to a memory stick in case I want to reuse in the future.The real genius of the design is the sata interface behind a removeable panel which comes off with a single slide of a button on the body.This allows you to add a further ssd drive or 2.5" hdd, literally in minutes.I added a 2tb hdd. and installed ubuntu Linux and it went like a dream.I use a Bluetooth keyboard which connected fine.Whilst the Atom small pcs are ok, the Celeron with its 4 cores is much faster, especially for large databases. I also run apache as well as using it as a plex server for my tv downstairs (streamed via an amazon fire).A really excellent device.

Over all a great little computer
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. And like my title says ‘great little computer’ with the emphasis on little. The thing that strikes me that in the “olden” days computers were huge, even in recent years you needed a cumbersome tower to hold all the brains to the computer. Now —— look at this ... a mini pc. And who would expect such a small computer to be good? It is good! The computer itself starts up quickly and is powerful enough to run video editing software, which is what I need it for. I make videos on YouTube and anyone knows you need to render them and that’s a long process - so this computer is great for doing the video rendering and donkey work while I can get on with my other work on my other devices. A plus is the fact I can have two monitors plugged in to it, actually you could plug in three, but even I don’t need a third screen.The computer slides neatly under my monitor riser and I can plug my speakers into it as well as the dongle for my mouse and keyboard. The wires push away neatly with my computer. All in all I am happy with my choice of computers.
