great as a homeserver

2026-01-22    -GamerTrip

i bought this mini PC to use as a small and cheap home server, its extremely quiet, you have to put your ear close to it to hear its fan on idle, and can support up to 2TBs of an internal 2.5" SATA drive, i really recommend this for use as a homeserver, but its specs are really not good or suitable for gaming in case thats what you're looking for

Ok

Bom, o curioso é que é bem pequeno mesmo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommend

Really good for the price, better than I expected! It comes with Windows 11 already installed and verified without any bloatware installed. First thing I did though was image the SDD, install a much larger one and write the image. I really have no issues with the at all. It's quiet and I haven't stressed it enough for cooling to kick in.

Not a great purchase

5.0 out of 5 stars This Mini PC is very impressive

After reading a bunch of reviews on different Mini PC's, we decided on this little guy. We wanted a portable backup PC for the house and a space saving unit for my RV. Although we have tablets and laptops, we wanted a PC with that would have a larger screen without having to screen cast to TV.1. We use our computers for everyday computing (internet, email, word processing, online streaming, video cloning/editing and converting to save to a portable hard drive and Network attached storage).2. This Mini PC has a 4 core processor (up to 3.4GHz), 16GB ram, 500GB SSD (upgradable), Wifi6, Ethernet port, 4 UBS ports, 2 HDMI ports and a one year warranty (extended warranty can also be purchased). It comes with a 5 volt, 3 amp power adapter and installed Windows 11. We use a wireless keyboard and mouse and mounted the unit to the Vesa mounting holes on the back of a Fire 1080 TV.3. Every aspect of this Mini PC works flawlessly. It is comparable to a Desktop PC. It processes very fast, boots very quickly, has great HDMI picture quality and takes up no desk space. It is so impressive that all of this is packed inside such a small unit.4. As for intensive gaming, this Mini PC probably isn't the best choice. You would want a faster processor and video interface. But for everyday computer chores, this unit would work very well for most users.5. Keep in mind, if you buy this unit, you will need a keyboard/mouse (wired or wireless) and a display unit of some kind (computer monitor, high resolution 1080 TV, etc.).6. This is what I spent for everything: this Mini PC ($159.00), 24” Fire TV ($90 on sale), wireless keyboard and mouse ($35). Now I have a complete portable desktop PC (with TV) for about $284.00. If you already have a compatible TV, keyboard or mouse, then you won’t need to buy any of that.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect low noise, low power home virtualization server

This little powerhouse is a perfect home virtualization server. I bought this and an SSD to run proxmox in my home. The main goal was to get a low power, high feature device for a reasonable price. This absolutely fits the bll.Adding an second SSD to this was very easy, 4 screws. I installed proxmox and have been running 4-6 containers on it without issue for about a year. I added a second one and use the second interfaces on each device to do clustering. they're low power and low noise.Pros:Great price pointUpgradable with an additional internal SSDAble to run virtualization without issueLow power drawLow noiseComes with a licensed copy of windows 11, if you want to use it.Cons:Processor is a lower class model, so it's not a powerhouse, but it works well for a handful of containers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Linux Caveat

2025-12-31    -mcmc

***Update: Installing the 6.4 Kernel did get the AX101 Wi-Fi card going just great.***My daily driver is an iMac, but I needed a cheap computer so I could still get some stuff done when I'm batching gobs of images. I got this and immediately installed a 2.5" SSD for dual boot Linux. I did go through the Windows setup process, but I just don't even want to mess with that.I got it to boot the Linux drive first, and all is well except for one thing. The AX101 wireless on board is not yet supported in Linux, and I cannot find a patch, so I'm having to use a (gag) dongle until that happens. Wi-Fi did work immediately with Windows. Cool little computer, very cheap and pretty much problem free. No complaints regarding the hardware itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Compact Unit

The pc mini is potentially very portable and can be screwed on the back of a monitor. It has an N100 Intel chip which has 8 threads running at 0.8ghz. The ghz is oddly slow, but it has a turbo boost of around 3.6ghz which makes it run reasonably fast. It can handle multiple functions. I am happy with its functioning. I did find out one problem and it has to do with it having preloaded Windows11. This is that it has more security functions than W10, and W11 prevented me from loading a DAW software into the memory. It prevented the update of the registry and gave me a code 2506 error. I had to go to the company and fix this issue manually, after the W11 tool also failed. I did succeed, but I feel it is a potential issue worth mentioning. I also did a return on the unit, but solved a problem that would have been a deal breaker.
