Great for the price if it can do what you want
I bought this machine while looking for a small Linux box. But, I bought the Windows 10 Pro model of the computer (which was only 15 bucks more), because needs may change in the future and a Windows 10 Pro license for 15 bucks is a pretty good deal.Before doing anything else with it, I installed a 128 GB M.2 drive for my Ubuntu installation. The installation of Ubuntu went perfectly and located all the devices correctly (which is no surprise since the Linux version of this machine ships with Ubuntu out of the box, the primary reason I chose this machine and that distribution). So, now it can dual-boot to the internal 64 GB drive with Windows or the 128 GB drive I installed with Ubuntu. It handles this dual-boot setup with no issues at all.There are obviously a few caveats. For this price, you can't expect a powerhouse and I didn't. Keeping that in mind will serve a buyer very well. It handles all its basic tasks as you would expect. It can be a tad bit slow at places, but for 200ish bucks, it's pretty darn good. You won't be doing any real gaming or high-performance tasks on this machine, but that's not what it's for. It's a (very) small, energy-efficient general computing device that can handle basic office or home use tasks (web browsing, email, word processing, spreadsheets, and the like) with adequate performance and a low price tag.The ethernet connection is only 100 megabit, which is slower than more powerful modern machines (usually gigabit), but I would imagine most purchasers would be using the integrated WiFi, which leaves the ethernet redundant. not to mention, 100 megabits is probably adequate for the majority of use cases.Installation of an M.2 drive is a bit tricky as it requires complete disassembly of the device, which adding a 2.5 SATA SSD is far easier. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind when looking at this.All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and happy to recommend it for others. Just make sure the specs match what you need from it.

Doesn't last
It would be okay but it died in 14 months; it doesn't turn on or show any sign of life. Got new adapter, still NG. Some BIOS/UEFI issues since new, forcing only some disks order. Worked fine with Ubuntu. Not much information online.

Two of the same model have the same error and not boot up.
DO NOT BUY THIS!!!The first one that they sent me didn’t boot up, got missing File error, AND the replacement that they sent me also has the same error...What’s the chance of same error happens...I had to install my own windows 10 myself, including updating the drivers.Unless you are computer savvy, stay away from this Mini computers...

Works great for streaming video to a computer
Lots of bells and whistles, Windows 10 Pro, 4 usb ports, HDMI port, bluetooth, wifi, ethernet, expandable memory. Very fast and works great for video streaming to a computer. Likely wouldn't work as well as a desktop computer running lots of apps, without expanding storage. Ordered a 2nd one, didn't work, had to return. 3rd one worked as advertised.

a few issues
I tried to open the box, but the screw was so tight, and the screw driver was slipping and could not open it.(may have been damaged the screw..).Also the one of HDMI connector was for 30Hz, it would have been better if both were for 60Hz.But in general, this is surprisingly high performance PC for the price compared to a PC of few years ago.

Small but lags
The unit is ok so far it was easy to setup but I’ve noticed that the system is kinda slow and lags. Not sure if I’ll keep it.
