Finally, a mini PC with the latest gen Intel CPU
The media could not be loaded. I was looking for a mini PC with the latest gen cpu for a special cyber security project when I saw this product. The small footprint of this mini PC is great for small projects and portability. I bought it and currently enjoying it.The product packaging is way better than the older mini PCs I bought before, it has a modern look and better branding on it. Inside the box are the mini PC, a 2.5 inch drive expansion kit, a long and a short HDMI cable, a VESA mounting bracket, and user guide. The setup was very quick, it was up and running in just a few minutes, including Windows updates. In comparison with the Celeron cpus, this mini PC feels like 10x faster based on actual user experience. I was able to run multiple office productivity apps all at the same time without a problem (using 16GB of memory). I connected this mini PC to my LG 4K monitor, and it plays 4K videos very smoothly, I have another QHD ultrawide monitor and dual display works fine with QHD+UHD monitors. This mini PC runs cool and quiet even at heavy loads, I tried playing some casual games like Asphalt 9 and CSGO, and they are surprisingly playable. Upgrade options are easy for this mini PC, just remove the 4 screws at the bottom and you’ll have access to the M.2 drive, memory, and 2.5 inch drive installation. It’s nice that they included 2 ribbon cables in the HDD expansion kit for the 2.5 inch drive just in case you break one. Since this is for a special project, I installed Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and all the hardware were detected fine, but mileage may vary depending on the distro used. It feels snappier running Linux than Windows in my opinion. If there is only one thing, I wish they added another M.2 slot inside as there are enough space for one more slot, but that’s just me for my project, most people won’t need an extra M.2 slot. So, performance wise, this mini PC ticks the boxes on all my requirements. One thing I love the most is the small footprint this mini PC has, it is very convenient to move around and stow away if not in use. The VESA mounting bracket is very useful if ever I will repurpose this as an HTPC and hide it behind my TV.Overall, this mini PC impressed me. The build quality and performance is perfect for my specific needs. The size and portability is another selling point, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one if needed.

Great Hardware, but sorry OS
The box came today and I haven't fully tested it. What I have seen of it says that it is a fast box. No problem playing youtube videos at 1080P in full screen. The biggest flaw is that it comes with Windows 11. Upon starting the box for the first time, it stops during the setup and says to enter your Microsoft Account. I don't have one and if I did, I wouldn't give them the password. It no longer has a SKIP button so you can't easily bypass it. Fortunately I found out that you can pull the power cord, then network cord and then plug it back in. This time, it will squeal for you to give it your wifi password, but I refused. It finally let me in without signing my privacy over to Microsoft. Once there, windows update worked fine. I got the box to see if it would be fast enough to run Blue Iris software. I have not yet tested that. I will write back if that does not work. This will be a Blue Iris box and I wont have to mess with the OS on a regular basis. I would not want to use Win 11 for a desktop OS. The manufacturer allows people to upgrade to Win 10. If I had to use it as a desktop, I would do that or else install MX Linux.

Works great, quiet, expandable
I was looking for a mini-PC that I could expand and was powerful enough to process large images captured through my telescope. This unit fit the bill: I added a 2.5TB SSD drive and and swapped the 2x8GB dimms with 2x32GB dimms for a total of 64GB RAM. The upgrade was easy and the unit has worked flawlessly.I would recommend this product.

Good PC but had problems with OS
The PC is really solid and good specs. The only problem that I encountered was Windows 11 Pro couldn’t activate at all saying the key was already has been used. Had to get a new key and do a reinstall of windows for it to work. Overall the hardware is great but not the pre-installed OS.

Great little computer
Using this computer with a touch screen in the kitchen for recipes, playing music and movies, nothing else. Plenty of power for those needs. Would recommend using a de-bloating software to rid windows 11 of all the crap microsoft puts on the machine.Nice and small, i’ve attached it to the back of the monitor, it comes with a very short hdmi so you don't have a lot of extra cable. I wish it also gar a short usb-c instead of the long one.Great value for the money.

Very Impressed! Just Buy It!!
I wasn’t extremely optimistic when I ordered this mini computer but my apprehensions were answered after getting it plugged in and connected! Super fast, super compact and seems to be performing perfectly after the updates were installed.It’s perfect for what I do, which is some basic office functions, watching videos and stuff like that so I can’t speak to gaming applications. Just wanted to be clear on that.I could not be more pleased!

Excellent Little Powerhouse
I bought this to run a Windows setup for testing as I'm usually a Mac user. Very happy with the purchase as it does everything it should, and very quickly at that. I can't speak to gaming but for everything else I would highly recommend it. I can't imagine buying a full size PC when these are available. They are so quiet and unobtrusive yet pack a punch.And... its been something like 20 years since I've used Windows. I must say, its come a long way and is pretty intuitive and functional nowadays.

Good, solid little PC
Decided to move on from a 12 year old clunky desktop to something more compact and zippier and no regrets thus far (SEi8 i5-8279). The initial Windows 11 Pro installation was done without issues, and operates without any lag. Not sure about basic gaming but I mostly use it for email, news, online banking, Youtube, etc. and it's perfect. I had an extra 500GB SSD and was able to open the case and add as secondary storage without any issues. The 4X USB ports are plenty and used the dual HDMI ports to set up extended displays. On basic usage with Windows 11 and a browser running, typically uses 5GB of the 16GB total memory. Fans comes on every now and then and a little louder than I expected given how small the unit is, but then again there are some many compoenents crammed into such a small enclousre that you kind of expect it. Overall pleased and no regrets, especially since I was able to scoop one up at 25% off.

Se puede rescatar para ciertas cosas
Esperaba una mother marca intel en el interior y parece ser genérica. NO se indica con precisión esto. No encuentro una referencia al chipset, pedí manuales al respecto al fabrcante y recibí respuestas vagas. Ha presentado intermitencias molestas cuando uso el raton y el teclado inalhambticos, tampoco se comportó estable con dispositivos Unifying. Un fastidio. El proveedor sugiere regresar a w10 pero la compré para poder evolucionar a w11. Mi vieja i3 con un nvme de 3000 GB/s mother asrock 1151 tiene un rendimiento apenas perceptiblemente inferior. El caso es que sigo usando la antigua i3 por ser mucho mas estable, cómoda y con un semejante rendimiento, pero sobre todo porque si funciona el teclado y el ratón. Al parecer no es un problema exclusivo de mi equipo el asunto inalhámbrico. Es un producto que aun deben mejorar en ese sentido. No la devolví porque tengo aplicaciones en las que la puedo aprovechar con teclado y raton alhambrico y de esa manera es un equipo que funciona bien y por el tamaño resulta interesante.

Más que excelente!!! Y actualización.
Cuenta con las características que dice la descripción, rápida, pequeña, excelente, para una mini PC, nada pero nada ruidosa, rápida ágil, cómoda, sin problema soporta Windows 11 y office, para la casa y trabajo está súper, sin duda compraría de nuevo, excelente opción por su precio.Desde que lo recibí, lo he tenido trabajando encendido ya más de 15 días continuo, se mantiene fresco, no se atora se desempeña súper bien me ha sorprendido que soporta bien presentaciones que maneja imágenes y resulta muy pesado en power point, super recomiendo y volvería a comprar, compacto, y poderoso.!
