I have decided to buy a mini PC to replace my aging optiplex in the office and I am glad I did so. Now I have way more desk area. This mini PC is almost equivalent to a $700 laptop as it has an 11th generation i5 mobile processor with 4 cores and 8 threads. The ram is soldered which usually isnt my cup of tea however the included Ram is LPDDR4 with high frequency and its 8 chips of 2Gb each giving me 4 channel which is even better than some towers. (When you start using the mini PC you will notice that the frequency is limited to 2667MHz that can be adjusted in the Bios as I showed in the video). Other than that, the SSD and Wi-Fi are fully upgradable (See the second part of the video) and you can easily install 2 NVME SSD and one SATA SSD for a total of 3. The Wi-Fi card can be upgraded to WiFi 6e. The IO of the PC is pretty decent and I like the inclusion of the USB-C.

I’ve been using this mini PC as a test rig and emergency stand-in. Mostly, I install stuff on it, test the install, then tell the PC to do a fresh windows install. Rinse and repeat. It’s been great. It can stream video just fine, can run office 365, can run google docs n’ stuff, and generally does a good job of running productivity software as well as some goof off software. Photoshop was slow but tolerable in an emergency. This little box has run two 4K displays, but it was productivity workload that didn’t require much of a refresh rate.

This thing is LIGHTNING quick. Boots up in probably less than 30 seconds and isn’t glitchy or slow after booting at all. Absolutely flawless operation. Usually I have to mess with some performance settings to get a PC to run snappy enough for me. Not this one. Awesome out of the box! And it’s absolutely amazing how small it is. It’s crazy there’s a whole desktop in that tiny cube! I paired it with a wireless keyboard with trackpad and use it for my projector. It allows me to stream anything I want to or search for anything I want and use whatever Adblock services I want. And it’s so much quicker than any streaming stick or smart TV. And so much easier to look things up with a keyboard. It’s absolutely the best TV set up you can have. Fits in my tv cabinet taking up zero space and just being freaking awesome!

The Ugly:

This is an awesome little unit. Connected to the television and setup was extremely easy. No issues with compatability with external memory, cell phones, cordless keyboard, mouse set, and printer. Windows 11 pro is on point. Has plenty of USB and HDMI ports and it comes with a C port. Like the fact that I dont have this huge unit to deal with it is size of 6 stacked CD boxes. Comes with mounting plate, power cord and 1 HDMI cord. Bluetooth works great. No issues at all.

This is a nicely equipped PC for the size and price. Comes loaded with Windows 11 and no added software. It is quick to load and can handle many applications all running at the same time. Using a media server running multiple Plex streams and it performs flawlessly.

Im using this as a personal file server to back up files from all my devices. This device performs like a champ and it doesnt have all the unneeded software that other brands of PCs come with. See video for all the ports. I was able to log into the machine locally then add my account. Ill probably have to expand the storage but it comes with the pieces to add an internal drive. And even mount it into a monitor if I want

Its actually a great mini computer and the main reason I can leave a positive review is because the price was so exceptional because I purchased this during a flash sale.

Excellent out-of-box experience. Hassle-free initial setup.
