KAMRUI Essenx E2 Mini PC, 12th Gen Alder Lake- N97(up to 3.6GHz), 16GB DDR4 RAM 1TB M.2 SSD, Mini Computer Support 4K Display/USB3.0/WiFi/BT/Gigabit Ethernet Mini PC Home/Office

I was highly skeptical about this compact computer. I am not a gamer and only use it to browse the web and my wife uses it for homeschooling our children. Our old computer is 10 times the size and cost four times qhat this pc cost (that was back in 2017) when we bought it at Sam's club. For my needs this computer has worked flawlessly. Supet fast speed and very easy to set up. I 100% recommend this item to anyone looking for a budget computer.

So far, so good. I wanted to try this little fella out and see how well it does. Let me give you some pros and cons: Pros: I got it at a great price. Around $130. Came with Windows 11 Professional, not just home as one might expect. 16gb RAM, not just 4 or 8. 512 gb SSD. Pretty impressive. The CPU is an Intel(R) N97 2.00 GHz Runs quite well so far. WiFi or hardwired; whichever you choose. I checked my WiFi speeds, and it’s definitely a big difference when you have it hardwired compared to the WiFi. But that’s your preference. Very Quiet. Can't even tell that it's running. You can get a few giggles on how small it is, and how it's right behind your monitor! I got mine hiding anyways. I can hide it right behind my new monitor. That's really nice! Also came with an HDMI cable, so I didn't have to scramble around the shop looking for one. Thanks guys! Cons: It seems to take forever AND forever to get Windows to load and do your typical windows sign on. Can't expand beyond the 16gb of RAM...more than enough anyways. I don't remember seeing if there's a way to upgrade the RAM or SSD if needed. Can't play Call of Duty on it. **Darn!!** Seriously, though, not made for that kind of crazy gaming. :D Bottom Line: For around $130 that I paid for it, I'm pretty happy with it. And will be used for surfing and looking up things while I do work around the shop. I tried playing Fortnite on it, and well, it’s a little glitchy, but hey I did it just to see if I could play this game at all. It is NOT a gaming pc, but you may be able to play simple games on it… Fortnite? Well, tell me that you got a battle royale when playing in it.

Fast, powerful, and has a VGA port unlike many other mini pc's making it easier to attach to older monitors. Plenty of USB ports to also attach to your devices. Kind of a niche situation I think for certain people who have a lot of USB devices. The ethernet port was covered up with a sticker. I think the only potential downside over a traditional PC is that this is probably going to be difficult to repair, if not impossible due to the proprietary parts.

I am truly impressed with this little computer. It used to require an entire room to house the computing power that is contained in this small unit (I know....I'm dating myself 🤣). My experience with setting up this mini pc: The box that it was contained in is very compact and contained everything that I needed to setup the mini pc (other than the monitor and keyboard). It has ports for USB, HDMI, Audio and more. After I plugged in the power and the HDMI cable to the monitor, I inserted a wi-fi dongle in one of the usb ports to connect my keyboard and mouse. Once I turned on the unit, the configuration was literally plug and play. Very intuitive and prompted next steps the whole way through. It even gives you the option to use configurations of other connections you have on your network (such as a laptop). All the setup and configurations were done seamlessly in the background and took no more than 10 minutes even though I was on a wireless network vs. hard wired into the internet. I strongly recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a small, compact, but fast and powerful computer that will fulfill all of your computing needs.

I am very happy with this tiny computer. The processor is very fast and can go up to 3.6GHz, so I can do many things at the same time without problems. It has 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD, which makes it work very smoothly, even with heavy programs. Pros: Works Great with Two Wide Monitors: I use two 49" ultra-wide screens, and this small computer runs them perfectly. No lag or slowdowns, even with 4K video and detailed work. Compact and Space-Saving: It is very small and doesn’t take much space on my desk. I can even move it easily if I need to. Fast Storage: The SSD makes the computer start up super fast, and I can transfer files quickly. Plenty of space for my work and media. Good Connectivity: It has many USB ports, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi. I can connect everything I need. Bluetooth also works well with my wireless mouse and keyboard. 4K Video: It supports 4K displays, which is great for watching movies or editing videos. Cons: WiFi 5: It works well, but I think it would be better if it had WiFi 6 for faster internet. But for now, it is not a big problem. In general, I am very happy with this small computer. It is strong enough for all my work and works well with two monitors. Highly recommend it!
