A youtube review highlighted this device to me. Wow. I was so please with it. It is tiny! It would be amazing to bolt to the back of your TV with the supplied bracket and screws and use your TV as a media centre perhaps. Although the spec of this little machine is not suitable for software development I have used it to RDP to a dev machine hosted in Azure which works fine. Also, for web browsing, you tube, iPlayer etc it is pretty snappy and does the job just fine. I had planned to carry it on holiday instead of carrying a heavy laptop with me. However it needs a screen which can be connected over the built in HDMI port to your TV/Monitor, but for portable computing I have an Asus MB16AC USB monitor that I needed to connect through the USB port. The Asus connects over USB 3.0 (of which device has 2 ports). However, I found that there is not enough power to run that particular monitor over USB. I then tried a USB powered hub to see if that would drive the monitor. I managed to get the Asus to act as a second monitor but not as a primary display. The device boots up and Windows assigns the primary monitor to the HDMI port even if you don't connect anything to that port. It didn't suit my needs so unfortunately I had to sent it back.My only real complaint that may effect most people is the fan noise. It goes on and off constantly (possibly every minute) so that may annoy you as it is a little distracting. I gave it 5 stars as if you can live with the HDMI requirement and fan it is a bit of a bargain.

This makes a great machine for consuming content from any source. If you're looking to browse the web, watch video's or listen to music, or stream films and tv this little machine will do it. It's quickly set up and great for this purpose. I was looking for a small device that will be capable of Windows or Linux installs that I could use as a learning tool. 4k via HDMI means this will connect to any TV or Monitor and should work fine for almost all purposes.I would say the only downside would be that the power supply while USB C needs 12volts so I wouldn't use anything else beyond the one supplied to power it.

I'm 100% Apple for work and play, but I was intrigued by the size of this device and the tempting price. I just wanted to see what a device of this proportions could offer. It's impressive for its size, but the 5.83Gb of useable RAM has major limitations. Windows 10 Home seems to run just fine, though Windows Updates seem to take just as long as I remember from my pre-Mac days! Set up was very straightforward and easy. I was able to connect a four socket USB port expander - it comes with two, so you could just put the keyboard and mouse plugs in those, but I like to have a spare for a thumb drive or additional device. Seems to pick up the online versions of Word, Excel, etc, and provides easy access to OneDrive for cloud storage, but everything is rather pedestrian for professional working. Overall, surprisingly capable for the size, but really something for first timers or casual users on a limited budget.The overall 4 stars is really for a well presented, well packed, and well thought out little unit that does work, but with the limitations outlined above.

Shocked at how small it is. But works brilliantly. Seems to have enough processing power to do everything I need. I bought it to do Zoom calls plugged into my TV, combined with a wireless keyboard/mouse and a webcam. No problem with that. Boots up quickly, no obvious lag in using. Clearly, it wouldn’t be suitable for heavy duty work like photo editing but it’s great when you want something small to use in a place you don’t want a large PC.Some comments mention the fan. It does come on about half the time. The noise level and pitch is similar to a mosquito flying round the bedroom at night. If the PC is on a desk right next to you, you’ll hear it but it’s not noticeable across the room.One warning: the description mentions it having a fully functioning USB-C port. Which may be true, but that is also the port the power pack plugs into. So it’s really limited to the two USB 3.0 ports. That’s not a problem but if, like me, you want to buy a dongle to you can plug it into an Ethernet connection, get a USB A dongle not a USB C one.Overall, a good buy. You can get micro PCs for less money but this one has a fast enough processor and enough ram to actually be useful.

out of box this unit disapoints, previous user data on the system not new.very old build of windows 10 (1909) circa 2019 3 years old build! so hours of labourious updates to windows on this painfully slow mini pc drivers just as old and outdated. my intel compustick runs rings around this at half the cost!over priced,underpowered,ewaste. i had to wait for it to catchup in renaming a new folder on the desktop 30+ years in the tech field for microsoft.never seen windows run so slowly streaming at 720p was a stuttery mess.youtube at 4k was but a dream it dropped more frames than it displayed.although my internet had no issues with 4k youtube streaming to my intel compustick or even my 4k firestick.don't believe the hype this will be going into my amazon junk pile for return as not at all as described in other reviews or by amazon.waste of time/moneyAVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
