N36 Mini PC Fanless Intel Celeron N3060 Processor(up to 2.48 GHz),Windows 10 Pro(64-bit) Mini Desktop Computer, 4GB DDR3/ 64GB eMMC Mini PC, Support HDMI and VGA, 4K/30Hz HD, 2.4G/5G WiFi

Bought this Mini PC for a security display monitor. It been working good, never down and constantly showing up the security footage. Very reliable, in a small convenient package.

I bought this for a single purpose, streaming video from the internet. For that purpose, the built in Microsoft Edge browser works just fine. I wouldn't use it for anything beyond a single, low load purpose, but it suffices for that. A previous reviewer commented that Windows 10 Pro was overkill for this device, but I would argue that it is the minimum version of Windows that should come with a system this limited. With W10 Pro, you get some control over security and update pushes that you can't get with W10 Home.BUT! You have to know what you are in for when you get this PC. It came with the 1809 build of W10 Pro, but nothing I did would let it upgrade to 1903 until I did the upgrade via an external thumb drive, despite using every trick I knew to clear more storage space, free up more RAM, and tweak the upgrade process.Another issue, presumably with lack of system resources, is that when I did a Macrium Reflect backup, I ran into some very strange behavior with super low speeds. I cancelled and rebooted, and then it proceeded fairly normally, but that is not normal.Another issue I ran into was when I tried to get the system to NOT boot automatically when power is plugged in. The BIOS contains a setting with three choices, Power OFF, Power ON, Last State. None of them worked to keep the system from auto booting when power was plugged in. I don't know if this unit is defective, or if this is just a bug in the BIOS that other reviewers haven't noticed, but this makes this unit a PITA because I have to unplug the power if I don't want it starting up every time there's a power flicker.Finally I have to point out that there is essentially no manual for this device, neither in the box nor online. There is a single quick start page in the box and that's it. So how you adjust BIOS settings, install Linux, or boot from recovery, or boot from a Macrium rescue thumb drive, or boot the OS from a different drive than the eMMC that is soldered onto the motherboard, is up to you to figure out.Good luck. I can forgive a lot of things, but lack of documentation online and BIOS bugs are unacceptable. I'm going to contact their online support and see if I can get the BIOS power on bug sorted out and will update this review with my experience.More issues: tried booting to an SSD and it bombed. Now won't boot at all. Tried resetting the CMOS, still nothing. And of course, zero tech support. Massive waste of money and time.

I love having a nice, silent little computer that sips power and will fit in my pocket (well, just barely). If you've got something you need to run all the time, a little system like this is the best way to do so.I will come back and update my review some more later.Significant limitations:BIOS/EFI setup options are misspelled and sometimes don't work... As one reviewer mentioned, "Power off" powers on the system when power is connected. I found "Power on" actually acts like "Last State" should, so that works for me, but much time wasted in the confusion.Cannot use SATA SSD drives, only normal mechanical 2.5" hard drives up to 2TB.Will boot off of ONE of the two USB 2.0 ports, and ONE of the two USB 3.0 ports, so hit or miss.Performance is not great at all. I have a system from 2010 that is quite noticeably faster, both the CPU and on-board graphics. But it's responsive and good enough for office tasks. Be warned that you'll be doing some waiting just browsing javascript-heavy websites like Amazon, waiting a bit on every page for images to load, but not so much it's painful.But it also runs HOT. After a lot of CPU-intesive work, it will throttle performance way down after extended periods of high CPU usage, and then you'll feel like you're using an ancient 486 for quite a while.Compared to ATOM mini PCs:I have a similar ATOM based mini system (Tanix TX85), it runs on 2W less (5W instead of 7W), doesn't throttle performance down after a good long time maxing out the CPU, and when using all 4 cores, the ATOM performs significantly better.However, most programs don't take advantage of 4 cores, and one or two core performance will be 30-40% better on this Celeron based mini-PC. Also, Atom based system don't have the M.2 or SATA expansion options, only SD card and USB. This N36 also offers legacy BIOS boot options for most storage devices (NOT the internal MMC) which the TX85 does not, which allows using older utilities, like memtestx86 which doesn't work under EFI-only. However, you can also get very mixed up, as legacy compat will allow you to boot-up and install a legacy OS to the MMC that can NOT boot, due to MMC being EFI-only.
