MINIX NEO J50C-8SE, 8GB/240GB Intel Celeron Mini PC with Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) [Dual-Band Wi-Fi/Gigabit Ethernet/4K @ 60Hz/Triple Display/USB-C/Auto Power On/Vesa Mount],Sold Directly

The box is near silent and runs Windows really well. I have a single usb-c cable into and the box that delivers display signals to the usb-c port on my monitor, and in turn the monitor powers the box.Just be careful what usb-c cable you use, the one in the box works but is quite long so I bought a shorter one that claimed to support high power delivery but didn't work.I also added an ssd for extra storage that is both fast and small, but check the Minix site for compatibility as not all are.The integrated graphics will not run any challenging games but will run some, however I installed steam link which runs the game on another more powerful computer in the house and streams the video to this box, by plugging in mouse/keyboard/controller to this box you then control the remote computer.Overall this does everything I want, only thing which would have been handy would be a small speaker but it's easier enough to plug one in. Some people have reported fan noise but mine is near silent even under load. Don't expect this to rival a powerful desktop or laptop but for office applications and streaming is excellent

This is a very capable mini pc. Runs super quick and has all the ports you need plus scope for adding more via USB-C. Build quality is good and footprint is small.eMMC storage is perhaps light at 64GB but easily upgradable. A true SSD will have faster read/write speeds of course. Total 8GB RAM included but 4GB comes separate so you have to install it yourself - not sure why this couldn't have been done at the factory. Fine for most but some might not be comfortable with it. Can upgrade to 16GB total if needed.Mine came with BIOS version 0.10. Worth downloading 0.15 from the Minix forums where you can disable the startup beep which is quite loud. Later version seems to use the fan less as well.Will take a couple of hours to run all the Windows 10 Pro updates but same for everyone.

Be aware that the 8Gb model is just the 4Gb model plus a separate 4Gb DDR4 SODIMM, which requires end-user install - not a great issue for myself, but note there are no included instructions for opening the case (you need to remove the rubber feet to access the securing screws to open ). The instruction booklet says only how to conenct and switch on!Inclusion of VESA bracket plus screws is helpful. Also spare rubber feet are supplied. Came in a nice box!Good value - processor and graphics are fine for my purposes (media centre) and met expectations - don't expect to do any heavy gaming. Internal storage of 64 Gb may be somewhat limiting.

I suppose this review is a little biased because I'm a Minix fan. I have 3 different models of their Android media boxes, a Minix Google TV box and now this great little form factor Windows PC. I've been using it for about a month or so now and I have nothing negative to report. Super quiet and quick! It ships with a mounting bracket (100x100 VESA) and Ive attached it to the back of a monitor with a USB-C PD socket, so I now have a portable little all-in-one desktop PC with one cable that powers everything! Note though, that the USB-C socket carries power and video only, no sound, but I just connect some Bluetooth headphones if I need to hear any audio. Its a great little PC that's gives you a lot of bang for your buck!!

Wanted something discrete to sit behind my ACER touch screen monitors. I have tried a few low-end boxes previously which couldn't do a reliable job. These though perform lightning-fast (especially at startup) and respond exceptionally well. Added an 8GB of RAM but noSSD to date as only encouraging the family to use for Web browsing and MS activities. Not a gamer so cant comment on top-end performance. Bought 3 to date and support were super helpful when I raised a query with them.They fit extremely well into a VESA supported mounting bracket on the back of any monitor. Very pleased TBH.

Very nice mini PC. Expandable storage and RAM is what sets it apart from PC Sticks albeit for a larger size. Still a very quiet and capable media pc for Kodi or even Libreelec. A good quad code Intel Pentium J5005 processor too.

It can run complex programs it’s very light and small. It doesn’t take up space. The storage is a little small for me but you can always get a hard drive. It works great and got a gift card as well

Purchased for my wife to replace old PC Brilliant device for office and meetings, can steam videos too.

Great little unit if used for the right situation. Not a gaming rig, don't even try. Robust performance running dual monitors, haven't tried 3 yet personally. Great small form factor unit for offices that need to run office apps, accounting, etc..I use them for running video surveillance across smb networks, as well as menu board systems.Fanless design, and having them running now for 3+ months 24/7 they haven't caused me one single problem.I have followed and utilized Minix products for years, this looks like another winner.

Merkwürdige Konfiguration, z.B. sind automatische Updates per Gruppenrichtlinie abgeschaltet und können auch nicht ohne weiteres aktiviert werden.Die Bildschirmausgabe auf einem Full HD Fernseher ist fehlerhaft, der Windows Desktop wird an allen Ränder abgeschnitten. Die Startleiste ist z.B. fast vollständig ausserhalb des Bildes. (siehe Foto) Man muss die Leiste an den linken Rand schieben und vergrößern um überhaupt etwas machen zu können (Foto).Bei anderen Geräten ist die Darstellung einwandfrei (Samsung Notebook, Blue Ray Player, Fire TV, WD Box, Google Chrome Cast) (siehe Foto Fire TV).Die Grafikausgabe ist als 1080p konfiguriert und wir auch vom Fernseher als 1080p identifiziert. Offensichtlich wohl ein Problem auf der Minix Seite.Der TOSLINK Ausgang liefert nur Stereoton und kein 5.1 - das ist unerwartet schlecht. Damit ist der Rechner als Streaming Client an meiner Bose Anlage unbrauchbar.Für das Graphikproblem gibt es scheinbar wohl keine Lösung - was soll man mit so einem Rechner?Insgesamt absolut nicht das, was ich erwartet hatte. Ich kann das Gerät nicht empfehlen - ganz im Gegenteil: Finger weg.

Utilisé tous les jours !

I've been using this to run Home Assistant OS for several months now. Works great, no issues.

It is faster than I expected it to be. I did change to 16g RAM and a 1 TB M.2 SATA drive. So far, it's working great for normal office/home tasks - MS365, surfing, videos, etc. The USB and Displayport video connections do need active adapters, not just cables. They reduced the price by $30 the day after I ordered. Since it's not sold by Amazon, it was more trouble that it was worth to get a refund of that. But that is not a product review, more a purchase/company review.
