Impressive Performance on 4K Display
The media could not be loaded. I’ve been looking for a mini PC that supports 4K display via USB C, and finally found this little beast. I was very skeptical at first as I haven’t tried any i5 Gen8 cpu on a 4K display via USB C. But after much thinking and looking around, I bought this, and I am impressed.The product came in a very simple small white box with small branding. Inside the box are the mini PC, the power adapter, vesa mounting bracket, cables for 2.5 HDD, screws, HDMI cable, and user manual. This mini PC came with Windows 11 Pro, and the initial setup was way more faster than Windows 10. Within a few minutes, I’m on the web downloading applications I need. The fingerprint scanner is impressive as it barely misses my fingerprint. Compared to my Samsung Galaxy Book Pro, the fingerprint scanner on this mini PC seems more accurate. I’m not going to bore you with numbers and benchmarks, I have fast computers (Ryzen 9, and Intel 11th Gen), and comparably with daily office tasks, this mini PC is on par with the big boys. The 16GB RAM is more than enough to open multiple browser tabs and multiple applications at the same time. What impressed me the most is the 4K display via USB C. I have a 43 inch gaming monitor, and this mini PC performs well with a 4K display. The reason I am particular about the USB C is because my 4K monitor has a built in KVM, and using just 1 USB C cable, I can switch between this mini PC and my laptops without having to switch my mouse and keyboard. Playing games on a 4K monitor is too much for this mini PC, but lowering down the resolution like 720P or 1080P to some extent, I can play casual games like Asphalt 9, or even CSGO on decent frame rates. The upgrade options for this mini PC is fine. The M.2 drive is easily replaceable or adding an extra 2.5 HDD. I am surprised that this mini PC only has 1 memory stick (16GB). This means if I need to upgrade the memory, I need to buy a 32GB stick instead of just buying another 16GB stick to add. But for my general use right now, 16GB is more than enough. If you are afraid to add or upgrade the drive, you can still expand the storage using the micro SD card. You can pop in a 1TB micro SD card for a quick storage expansion. I love how much expansion ports this mini PC has, but a little disappointed that it only has 1 USB C slot.I have an extra M.2 drive lying around with Ubuntu Linux in it. I popped it in, and everything worked out of the box except for the fingerprint scanner. This mini PC performs way better using Ubuntu Linux. Everything is snappier compared to Windows 11. The native Steam application in Linux opens more opportunities for gaming on this PC, although some popular games may need a little tweaking to make it run on this mini PC.If I only have one gripe, the fan is a little loud on heavy load. I have an Asus Deskmini with a Noctua fan, and running them side by side, I can hear how much louder this mini PC is on high load. But on casual use or general office tasks, the fan is acceptably quiet.Overall, I am very happy with this product, especially the performance on a 4K display via USB C. The size and from factor are so perfect to hide this behind my monitor. If you are looking for a PC to use for home office or for student, this mini PC is highly recommended.

Powerful mini-PC with a decent configuration & fast processing speed for any entertainment room!
The media could not be loaded. This is the 3rd mini-PC that I have ever owned and I have to admit that this is the fastest one in processing speed of all. My need to buy a mini PC was to live stream and watch YouTube videos along with some light web browsing in my 2nd office room that we created recently. And this mini-PC sparkles on all the breakthroughs set by me. I have tried other mini-PC in past but the experience was not good with them due to their super slow speed.Now talking about this product, everybody ought to know that this PC is usually not implied for overwhelming utilization, and over-clocking is constrained for the execution of transmission capacity utilization apps. I have utilized it fair for 7 days as in the event that presently and my review is exclusively based on this brief encounter with the gadget. I will unquestionably overhaul this audit in case my point of view changes in the future amid long-run usage.My 2 cents below :Pros:- Decent configuration: Intel i5-8279U processor with 4 cores & 8 threads. Its base operating frequency is 2.40 GHz/s rising to a 4.10 GHz in burst mode- Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 is an add-on to calibrate as per your need- PC performance is good enough for the processor and with 16 GB DDR4 RAM. Doesn't slows down the operation drastically while running the latest windows. RAM is expandable to 32GB maximum - High HD video including 4K run so smooth without any issues. Have tried YouTube, Netflix, Apple TV, and many online free content providers. HDMI support 4K@30Hz, USB-C Port supports 4K@60Hz, & VGA supports 1080P- Mini-PC runs decently fast even when I do multi-tasking- No issue with web browsing too. I have parallelly used multi-tabs without any issue and playing multiple youtube windows together definitely works as well- It has WIFI (both 2.4 and 5ghz) & Bluetooth 4.2. My Keyboard/Mouse connected works flawlessly via Bluetooth - Multiple I/O ports: 4 USB 3.0 ports, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 1 Type-C port, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, 1 TF card port, 1 HDMI port & 1 VGA port. You can never expect so many ports in a mini PC- This mini-PC supports triple display & hence great for an office room too - Fingerprint biometric on the hardware is a unique feature and it does works accurately all the time & I must admit it is pretty fast - The device itself is very light and portable- Comes with a monitor VESA mount & hardware to place it behind the screen- Licensed version 64bit Windows 11 Professional is pre-installed- Comes with 512 GB M.2 SSD already installed in it. SSD is expandable to 1TB maximum - It doesn't overheat. Thanks to the fan beneath it. I kept it on with video playing for 3+ hours and still went good- You can connect hard disks up to 2TB 2.5-Inch SATA HDD/SSD with this small machine. And even an external SD card reader is there too which supports up to 128GB- Comes with an HDMI cable in the box. They also bundle an SDD connector in the bundle - Manual has detailed directions in it to refer to if needed - Setup process was easy and quick. Everything was ready within 10 minutes - 1-year worry-free warranty providedCons:- Yes, it does have a fan and so does the noise. Sometimes more when the PC runs the heavy job but I would say it's a trade-off to keep the PC running efficiently without any issues and I am completely okay with it- There are no DP ports in these for high refresh rate display projections- I wish it had 2 HDMI instead of a VGA display port that is rarely used these days - I wish it supported an SD card up to 512GB as my old primary mini-PC does. This is great for additional storage needsConsidering the cost and convenience in a room where you do not need to put through huge laptops/tablets, I profoundly suggest this product.
