CHUWILarkBox X Mini PC, 12GB LPDDR5 512GB SSD, Intel 12th Gen N100(up to 3.4GHz), Windows 11 Mini Desktop Computer, 4K UHD Triple-Display, 4XUSB 3.2,WiFi 6,BT5.2, HDMI,DP,Type-C,VESA,Gigabit Ethernet

I have owned this computer for over six months and it has surpassed my expectations. This computer is great for every day use, it’s a little beast and it does pretty well for what’s on the market based on its price and capabilities

Bought this for emulation currently running botocera 38 I will tell you if you want to get into the BIOS it is possible to change the boot order you have to just hit F2 and delete repeatedly on Startup. The only negative thing I can say is that that the SSD is soldered and you cannot change it out or would be 5 stars. Great for the price!

Poor excuse for a power cable but I got in contact with support to try to just see where I can buy my own. So the PC works great, windows 11 comes with it which saves me alot of money. It runs silent and it is fast. It boots up in less than a few seconds which is amazing compared to my older dell laptop hahah. I love the chuwi larkbox if you need a PC this one will make you happy. Support them, I'm happy to see a company offering quality PCs for low prices! I use it mainly to make music on, it runs some of my more powerful synthesizers no problem. Thanks chuwi

Worth it

The product images specify that this includes a 512GB PCIe SSD, while it is compatible with NVMe/PCIe SSDs, it does NOT come with one. The included 512GB SSD from AirDisk is a SATA drive.

I like it, but...It has noise issues related to hum and feedback due to improper grounding. The audio jack is full of hums, hiss, and all the rice krispies. These don't seem to come up when running sound through an HDMI, though, but get annoying and are ever-present using the audio port.Often what I would consider a small application kicks the fan into overdrive. It can handle a lot of processes, but the noise from the fan coupled with the noise from the audio port would drive anyone crazy. The rice krispies are much louder once the fan is running as well.It seems to have power issues with some USB C adapters hubs and adapters. (It could be the hubs and adapters I'm using, but they work just fine on other PCs.)Lastly, I'll just mention the DisplayPort output only works with true display port cables and inputs. Your monitor has to actually have the DisplayPort cable input to make any use of that. I've tried conversions and adapters on both sides of an HDMI, and it would never work out.It satisfies most needs, really. It just has a few issues. Oh - I just remembered. It sometimes turns itsself on. I'm not sure why that is. I've seen it happen while asleep and shut down, both. I've even disconnected all usbs from it and watch it boot up. I've added a flip-switch to the power outlet, to ensure it stays off when not in use.

Reason for one star,While in a lot of ways, this is a great little computer, if you assume it has a normal warranty for one year, you would be wrong!The Larkbox I bought died after six and one half months. I thought I would get hold of Chuwi support, prove it is in warranty by the invoice date, get an RMA, take it to the Post Office, and have the problem taken care of in a week two. WRONG!I can't give details of all the hoops (validated by two weeks of emails) that Chuwi wanted me to jump through before they would honor their one year warranty. Because that would violate Amazons "community guidelines." That would result in having the review rejected again.A quote from Chuwi "The whole process may take 2 months."I then learned that the "process" was going to cost more than I paid for the computer.Caveat emptor!

My Nana bought me this pc at the start of summer in 2024, it worked very well, able to pay any game around like, 30-50 fps low, settings, and robolox at 70 fps max graphics. But when I took ot with me on a trip, and bought it back, it couldn't turn on. It was sort of a waste of 200$. At least I was able to gut it and got a wifi 6e card, and a 512 gb m.2 with my data on it. I will use the m.2 to build a much more powerful gaming pc.BUY IF U DARE!!!!!!!
