This is a pretty amazing little computer! Although it's tiny and therefore very portable, you obviously need a monitor and keyboard/mouse to go with it. We thought we'd try this as a replacement for the little Lenovo laptop that we've had anchored to a desk for most of it's life anyway, as that laptop isn't upgradable to Win11. This one comes with Win11 Pro, so it should be good for the foreseeable future. It is surprisingly much faster than our little laptop, and has been flawless so far.Getting it up and running was easy, and for routine web browsing and light duty work it barely gets even warm. It easily handles Office Pro applications, and I've even successfully run an architectural CAD program on it. It takes a few seconds or so to render and while I prefer running this software on a computer with a little more horsepower, it's certainly doable. It has also easily handled some photographic image editing. I have not tried video editing or gaming, and my guess is it'll struggle more with these, but assuming you have reasonable expectations it's definitely worth the price paid.Hopefully it holds up as long as the several older laptops I have that are about to be retired with Win10. Two of those started life with Win7 and have been going for years. Time will tell.

It’s extremely quick, the setup is super easy, the performance and power is good enough to play games like Roblox on the highest quality with no issues. It’s definitely worth the money as it is also very small

This box is a beast. Windows ran ok, but I quickly installed proxmox with an Ubuntu vm as well as a home assistant vm and never looked back. Ubuntu is running a number of docker containers flawlessly like JF, n8n, etc. Runs well using very little power, no noise, low heat. Highly recommended for a home lab or even as a cheap desktop replacement. Absolutely perfect as an edge device.

I got this to use as a stand-in for PC's in my business which go down. However, they work so well (and tested so well) that I decided to replace my big PC's with this unit.PROSFAST - Like, I can't believe it fast. There are some small delays in big big activities, but the benchmarks are amazing.PROSSize, obviously. These things are small, take no space and won't break a sweat if you're hauling them up six flights of stairs. Size doesn't hurt the speed or cooling abilities. Unit never got warm testing in my office under load.CONSI wish it was USB powered is probably the biggest one. Most of our laptops are now USB-C powered, and I would love it if this followed suit. I am not fond of proprietary power units you must special order if they go out. I'd much rather be able to port a USB-C cable over to the unit.OVERALLGreat machine, I wouldn't try to game off of it, but it has handled excel files, everything browser, watches movies just fine - looks to really be a well put together unit. I will report back after the Missouri summer gets here.

Easily the best power for the price among mini-PCs (might be close to the lowest price, even, yet a more powerful CPU than most in the same range). Surprisingly little bloat pre-installed, too (so set-up was pretty quick). I've been running a few home media servers off it, and it's worked great. The small desk-footprint is a bonus, given I have it set up behind our living room TV. One thing I will note, the internal WIFI antenna isn't great (although it's fine if you're just surfing the internet). If you plan on using it for heavier tasks like I have, I recommend hooking it up to ethernet if you can (and if you can't, like me, a good USB antenna worked wonders (something with 2 antennas . Those little single-antenna entry level ones I tried weren't any better than the internal one)).

The device was easy to setup and works well. I used it to create a duel boot using batocera installed on a micro SD and haven't had any issues with it after a good bit of use. Recently i've been using the device to stream games from my pc to my television in the living room and haven't experienced any lag or latency issues. Great device.

I'm slowly down-sizing the machines I have. This replaced a big-box HP desktop. It's smaller, faster, lower power consumption and quieter. Now I have more room on my desk; the system boots and runs much faster than the old one, and I just got a USB adapter and connected the old HDD to this machine to retrieve all my data from the old system. Smooth and easy, and I don't need to cool the computer room any more! It's great.

This pc is great for the price for office work and mid range gaming.The best performance for games listed1. World of Warcraft classic and classic catalysm runs 8.5 out of 10.2. Elder scrolls online 8.0 out of 10Games that runs very poorly.1. Elden ring 4.5 out of 10.2. Bauldres gate 3 3.5 out of 10.3. New world 1.5 out of 10.4. Age of mythology retold .5 out of 10.5. Mind craft 3.5 out of 10.6. The Witcher series 2.5 out of 10.7. Ghost recon series 1.5 out of 10.This pc is not good for high end gaming. It’s more for mid range to low end gaming. It is still a good pc for home and office use and mid range gaming and low end gaming.
