MeLE Fanless Mini PC Stick PCG02 Pro N5100 8GB/256GB, WiFi5 USB PD3.0, Micro Computer Desktop Dual HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet BT5.1, Compact SFF on Business Office Industrial IoT Home

OK, this thing looked big in the photos. It is tiny. It is about the size of two packs of those skinny "womens" cigarettes. AMAZING how much they cram into such a little package. This is to become a single purpose machine. But it had Win11 Pro installed, and works great. The storage capacity is enough at 8Gig RAM, 256Gig SSD. The performance is great for what it is. The N100 series processor is not to compete with the i9's of this world, but it holds its own. It certainly beats out the i5 desktop it is replacing,. Only comments are - read the instructions on mountin and airflow. When you are making it work, it will get warm. I heartily recommend this unit. Oh, and it has a cute little red pull tag so you can pull it out of its box.

I use this Mele simply to run powerpoint as an additional video source for when I do Zoom trainings etc. I chose it because I really didn't want another laptop (which would be overkill), didn't want to spend $1000, nor did I want a spacetaker since I have limited space. This little thing does the trick. It has a little metal bracket where you can attach it in place. It does get pretty hot to the touch since it's fanless. It's not a concern of mine. Just a point of reference. I know there are bigger versions of Mele if you need a little more power. It's a neat little piece of technology that I didn't know existed, but that I'm very thankful for.

It's slow but will run for 3 or so hours off a decent USB battery pack. I'm using it for an emulation handheld and it works great for arcade games and up to GameCube at native res.

I was wrong... MeLe responded to my review in 24 hours. With this version of BIOS go to Advanced → Customer Exclusive Functions. Computer NOW works as advertised. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Mele Says.. Special Features: Unlocked Bios,Wake On LAN, PXE Boot, RTC Wake, Auto Power On, low power,WiFi 5 But thats NOT TRUE. The BIOS does NOT SUPPORT Auto Power On. My purpose is to run a Digital Menu and Auto Power On is a KEY REQUIREMENT. Now after spending a couple of hours Setting Up the Computer I Need to DESTROY Everything So I can Return IT.

Using this as a mount-located pc for astrophotography. So fast! 8GB is plenty for NINA, ASCOM, thonny (PYthon driver for homemade focuser), phd2, CPWI, even pixinsight. No problem keeping up with data capture from 585 sensor. I'm amazed pixinsight is quite usable on this little pc. N100s are fast. Two notes: 1. Antennas (inside case) are on long sides - you may note a bit of directional sensitivity if you are stretching your wifi range. 2. SSD is enough for a night of imaging, but that's about it. Looks like it is in a socket, I may swap it out for upgrade.

Do not last. Heat eventually kills them. Especially the wifi circuitry. I've put this through some notable challenges. Everything is fine, and it meets the claims in the listing. If I'm copying GBs of data between two external HDDs, it'll overheat after ~10 mins writing at 100mb/s. It just stops writing, and bricks. No big surprise, also not a task I expect to do very often since it's really only for traveling. Overall great deal. (I have the other two larger PCs from Mele as well. All solid. The largest is the most useful apart from size).

I used this to run a dashboard 24/7 on a screen. It worked fantastic for that. Great little PC with easy setup and works likes a charm for simple tasks.

i bought this to use as a computer for my tv. It can drive my tv at 4k although youtube video stutters a little(not horrible but not perfectly smooth). At 1080p it is stutter free with youtube and plenty good for my needs. The case gets warm but not crazy hot. i would have preferred a metal housing for better cooling but certainly that would drive up the price. The re-use of USB-C for 12v power isnt ideal but i'll just label the power cable to prevent stupid mistakes. Overall its good for the money.
