Excited to plug in, then frustrated as most options in Settings were disabled. Vital items like Update, Virus settings and more. Permissions incorrect and disallowed access or running.

Got this mini PC around 3 weeks ago and have been using it. Setting it up was a breeze and I made a video doing that. Performance is very good for everyday requirements, and Im very happy with that.

The office I work at utilizes nothing but mini PCs and I have never had any issues. So when I was ready to set up my own home office that had limited desk space I knew I wanted and needed a mini computer.

Replaced a Dell i3 system which was terribly slow and pleased to find that this i5 mini PC exceeded my expectations EXCEPT for the integrated Bluetooth. Intermittent connection, distorted sound through BT headphones, jerky mouse movement, etc and finally decided to try an external USB Bluetooth which resolved all the problems. So giving 4 stars for this product. Otherwise, a good buy!!

The Ugly:

Ive been using this for several months now and have absolutely no complaints! Highly recommend for the price!

This little suckers got some speed to it. I haven’t even upgraded the ram yet. But it also doesn’t have any real programs or anything on it yet but quick set up. Tiny form factor. Comes with the standard hdmi and back of tv mount. I really dont care for I’m guessing the windows 11 pro home or whatever it’s call. It’s had the windows icons but not the windows feel to it. I feel like it’s a dumbed down simplified version of windows. I don’t know if the software is particularly to this device or that’s windows 11 home all together this is my first time with it. But as far as the device goes crazy fast super responsive decent gaming. Obviously an emulator beast but what isn’t these days. After programs and games get install I put it to the paces at 4k and see what’s up. I have a true motion 240hz and this thing only tops out at 60hz@1080. I’ll run the 4k tomorrow and update my review
