Ive switched over to the Apple ecosystem for most things. But still wanted a budget PC around, for a couple of Windows-only applications and some light PC gaming. This mini PC, basically the Windows version of a Mac Mini, seemed like a good choice to fill that gap.

Very easy to set up; worked without any problems. I also like Windows 11.

Ok guys, when it comes to mini Pcs, this has got to be the top. From the processor, to the amount of RAM, even down to the SSD inside with an expansion slot...I mean come on! Something this small should not have room for additional hard drives! But inside is has a 2.5 port for an additional SSD. It already has 512gb.

Plenty of processing power in a small package. Quiet fan when under load compared to desktops. Plenty of ports. USB ports are upside down but not really an issue. A good value for the money.

So far so good. Run some heavy software on it and it does the job great. Actually really impressed.

In addition to its compact size, this tiny mini PC offers two RAM slots for even faster operations. In fact, it performs better than my current laptop. I got a cheap travel laptop with the same CPU (8th gen i5-8279U) and I love how fast it is. Having two RAM slots definitely makes a difference. This CPU appears to be a viable choice for the most recent cost-effective devices. I did not notice a significant difference from my wifes 11th gen i5 laptop. It was disappointing that it did not come with the SATA harness cables for adding additional storage, as it was shown on several YouTube videos. In the video I posted, you can hear the fan noise. The noise is neither loud nor quiet. It supports 4K displays without any problems. It is an excellent value, especially with a coupon. A VESA mount is included!

Was looking for a powerful, but small, PC to use for a home built NAS system. Needed something in a small footprint, but with an 8th gen intel CPU and some m.2 slots for expansion purposes and this fit the bill near perfectly. For my setup, Ill be replacing the m.2 wireless card with a Coral AI TPU for security camera AI detection and replacing the m.2 NVME card with a 5x Sata adapter. I am using the built in sata interface with a 2.5 SSD to run the OS and using the 5x Sata add-on card (ASIN: B09N8MCDTZ) for a RAID array. The 8th gen CPU was a requirement for the use of Intels Quick Sync for video transcoding. Ill be pairing the Mini PC with a custom built enclosure to have a very powerful NAS at a fraction of the price of comparable commercially available NAS devices.

Fast set-up, big-time performance from a mini computer (5 x 5 x 1.5)

This PC is small so it can fit almost anywhere. It’s powerful enough to play a lot of less demanding video games. Works amazing for emails and Microsoft office. It comes with windows 11 and has the latest features that that offers. I’m really happy with purchase.

PC was delivered in a bag (not a box!) with no cushioning or protection whatsoever. The unit was already used and tied to another person’s account. Was supposed to be a brand new unit. Can’t use the pc at all and am very frustrated.
