I got this little pc to act as a remote server for my home camera system dvr. The dvr lives up in the room over the garage and we need a screen down in the family room where we spend most of our time. This is the third pc I have been using since about 2020. Previously I used an old HP laptop that had maybe 32g of storage on it and was always running out of space with Win10 on it. I then moved it to an old Dell running Win7 which had plenty more ram but was still not satisfactory. It was also very slow with laggy images and would lock up quite a bit or reconnect.

This PC is pretty speedy and works great for basic computer type stuff. By this I mean, I personally would not use it for serious gaming or for super graphics intensive work. But if you are hobby making short videos, its probably going to work decently for that as long as that is all you are doing. Great for most business applications, streaming, watching YT videos, browsing the internet, and basic gaming if you are in the Freecell type games leagues. With 8G memory and 128G hard drive, it is fast and a workhouse as long as you dont over burden it or fill up the hard drive.

This Mini-PC might be small, but boy, it sure is powerful! Having a Ryzen 5 5600U, this PC can handle most 1080p games played on it. Plus with upgradable components, it can only get better over time. Having more head room with RAM and with storage is a huge plus of this Mini-PC as well.

I doubt you can find something comparable to this mini pc for the price point and features. I got this as a lightning deal so cheaper than normal. I got this mainly for editing videos for YouTube. Cameras now are 4k or higher and you need a good graphic card. This pc is upgradable as well a nice feature plus it’s only the size it needs to be.

Overall, this product is quite capable and energy efficient plus surpassed performance expectations. This mini PC arrived fully intact; after unboxing and installing a 2.5 inch hard drive (only needed a small Philips screw driver) plus used the included vesa mount attached to the back of a monitor (see photo), the unit immediately booted into Windows 11 Professional. I installed the latest cumulative security patch and ready to put it through its paces and thoroughly test. After numerous days of use, this PC continues to boot very quickly even from a complete power shutdown. With a stopwatch, I measured about four seconds until the BIOS screen and another sixteen until Windows prompted for a password; after that, less than two seconds until I could launch a browser, etc.

This little thing is pretty cool. It was very simple to connect, and going thru the initial setup was a breeze. It runs very quiet and is a decent little Internet/homework computer. It doesnt play games all that well, but thats to be expected for what this computer is. Would definitely recommend for the price Id your looking for a basic pc

Update: We tried a 3rd HDMI cable and it worked well. So my guess is that this computer works with most HDMI cables but not all. Overall, we are very happy with this little computer.

I have enjoyed using the PC. Its quite powerful without much lag. Ive only used for everyday task so no gaming but I feel its capable of light games with no issue.

Note: When first updating this device in Windows 11, your display will blink in and out for some of the updates (5 seconds of darkness). The display drivers need to be updated in this device, and this occurs as the disconnection and reconnection occurs. The computer is not broken, it just needs to reset the connection.

I have a 21 touchscreen monitor combined with this as a home entertainment system. This way I dont need a keyboard or mouse. I printed a simple bracket to hold this behind the monitor, so the system is nice and compact. I have an external 1tb M.2 drive to hold tons of movies and music.
