We stopped watching TV over a decade ago, but still like to watch movies. Since then, Ive been using my high end gaming PC for this, using an AV receiver and a 4K projector. It works extremely well, except when I want to game and my wife wants to watch something. This mini PC has solved that!

Great from factor here. Vesa mounting is possible which is great if you want to mount the PC. We are using the PC for our children. They web browse, use office, and do school work. It will even play Roblox, but this is by no means a gaming PC.

This is certainly a nice little mini PC. As of selling in 2022, the CPU is outdated (gen 8 vs the current gen 12), but it is a i3 instead of a Celeron in a mini PC, so you get the extra CPU features not in the Celeron line, and has a bit more oomph compared to even current gen Celerons. This mini PC comes with everything you need to get it set up, including a VESA mounting bracket and even a carrying case. Opening up the mini PC to access the internals is very simple, just 4 screws on the bottom. Inside there are 2 SODIMM slots for RAM, a 2.5 SSD bay and a 2280 M.2 NVMe slot.

I am converting a small space into a work area and having a big bulky computer was out of the question. For me, the smaller the better. However, I still needed decent hardware. This computer fit the criteria. It is able to run smoothly when doing basic work like emails and using google chrome. I could have youtube playing music and surf the web without any noticeable impact. On other pcs, I noticed longer load times. The image quality was also pretty good. For my criteria, being small and running simple programs smoothly, it definitely fit the bill and performed well.

I dont know about you, but I sometimes stream stuff that doesnt have handy little apps for Roku or whatnot. For example, VidAngel doesnt have Roku apps anymore. You want to stream, youre either stuck streaming from your phone, or else on a computer. Thats where this handy little device comes in.

It has an Intel i5, 8th generation CPU, so it does its job very well. I went for the larger model with 16Gb of RAM and a 512 SSD. in daily use its pretty responsive, always runs smoothly on the internet, and downloads forms smoothly. And it also has integrated dual-band WIFI as well as Bluetooth.

Among the numerous mini-PCs that I’ve worked with, the MiniAir 11 places near the top. It ultimately falls short of perfection, but this tiny computer is still very much worth consideration, with three caveats: It’s not the fastest N5095-based system out there, it doesn’t support automatic power-on, and you might need to troubleshoot and/or reinstall the OS.

Needed a replacement for my older desktop that is not Windows 11 compatible. Came across this and decided to give it a shot. Popped it out of the box and it was good to go in five minutes. Ran into a few issues with some apps but after talking to Microsoft it turns out they were related to Windows 11 and not the machine. All fixed up now and running great. Fast, quiet, and a good deal at any price point, much less the what I paid. I plan on buying another one to replace another older desktop. I cant give a stronger recommendation than Im buying a second one I guess.

This is so incredible! It’s so compact and portable! I can’t wait to plug in! Can I also mention the amount of obvious effort that went into making this product great for the consumer? There’s so many extra items- all packaged neatly- and it’s a very sleek finish!

Not sure why but the fan seems pretty loud for some reason. Other than that not much to complain about so far.
