Great for office work and web browsing
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Been using this for around two weeks properly. I hope this review will help those interested. Hopefully I can highlight what to expect from this device. Now, bear in mind this is an atom processor. So this isn’t for media editing, gaming or huge amount of multi tasking. What it does well in, web browsing, office work, emails, watching online video, social media and very light gaming.I got this for my neighbour who wanted to a device for him and children to use. Mainly for education. So I had set it up for him. I feel it’s ideal for his use.The setup is straight forward. Simple and easy. You will almost certainly need to do a few update which can take many hours to do and complete. The modem connection is brilliant and fast. I was constantly getting between 100-130Mbps through WiFi. Browsing the net was very good and responsive. I may lag a bit at times, but very minimal. Viewing video on YouTube and similar sites is fine. Videos in 720p runs very smooth, even at 1080p. Anything over you’ll notice a lag, at 4K is unplayable. I was able to connect my wireless keyboard easily and works well. Plugged in the usb receiver and the pc detected it straight away. Boot up was quick.The machine is capable of playing 4K content. From a standard micro SD, playing 4K videos was a hit and miss. Some contents ran fine, others it struggled. Where it plays well, if transferring the file onto the device internal storage. There it will play well. As you can see in the video I uploaded, it buffers at the start but runs smooth afterwards.Doing office document works perfect. No issue, no lags using excel, word, PowerPoint. So students and office workers will be able to do their work without a problem.Don’t expect much from gaming. It will run games like candy crush and low graphic demanding games fine. Games like asphalt do run, but will suffer from lags and frame rate, even with lower graphical setting.One plus I like about this mini pc, is the fact it allows for an external hard drive to be attached. I haven’t tested this feature, so cannot comment. But seeing online videos, it seems to work well.

Good little mini PC
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I bought this Mini PC to work from home due to the current situation. It is a little power full Mini PC for my requirement to work from home. It has loads of connections which is very useful. It fits perfectly on the Desk. It has saved a lot of space on the desk. It is very easy to setup. However, Windows 10 takes some time when you start it for the first time after that it is very quick to start up and smooth. I have installed Citrix on this PC so I can work from home and it meets all the technical requirement as per my Work. I have been using this PC on a day to day basis and it does the job and I do some time listen to music and watch videos. I have not had any trouble or issue. The price is decent for this Mini PC. I am happy to recommend to my Family and friends :)

Great PC for basic tasks
I purchased this PC for my business as I needed a computer to carry out tasks such as wrb browsing, printing labels and inventory management.A couple of things stood out that made me choose a small form factor computer such as this one. The first benefit was the compact size, when compared with the vesa mounting plate it allows you to have an experience similar to that of an all in one pc.The pc comes with 64GB of internal storage with is more than enough for most people. You also have the ability to insert a micro SD card or a 2.5 inch drive up to 2TB in size for expanded storage.The 4GB of DDR3 memory is plenty for most uses. The biggest bottleneck is the CPU which is an Intel atom processor clocked at 1.9GHZ. This means that the pc is not particularly great at multitasking. I was able to use it for browsing the web, printing and I was even able to use it as a media server successfully streaming simultaneously to a couple of devices.If you want to multitask or run more intensive tasks, I would get a pc with better specs.

Great mini PC, easy to use and install
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I've bought this so I can turn my monitor into a standalone PC. During the day in work hours I use the monitor as a monitor for my work laptop, and then in the evening I press a button on my HDMI switch and use this mini PC for programming.The Mini PC is working great straight out of the box. Because the hard drive is solid state it boots very fast. Windows loads and is fully responsive within 10 seconds. Its having no problems running all the software I need so far.This is not a gaming PC, its ideally suited to web browsing, and running office type programs. With the built in micro SD card reader it would also be great for transferring photos and camera footage.The PC is very quiet - I can leave it on at night and don't hear a thing! (unlike my laptops!).Issues:The PC comes with a monitor mounting bracket - this was the only issue I had, the supplied screws were too short. Very fortunately I had some longer ones which worked fine. I have measured the screws in the review in case its helpful for someone else.I'm also sometimes having an issue of the screen not waking up. This might be an issue with my monitor because turning the monitor on and off seems to work, but this isn't a problem on my laptop. Either way, it isn't a big problem.
