Surprisingly fast! I have been using it to run Proxmox for my homelab setup with no issues at all. Very tiny, so it can be hidden away just about anywhere.

This pc is great for the price for office work and mid range gaming.The best performance for games listed1. World of Warcraft classic and classic catalysm runs 8.5 out of 10.2. Elder scrolls online 8.0 out of 10Games that runs very poorly.1. Elden ring 4.5 out of 10.2. Bauldres gate 3 3.5 out of 10.3. New world 1.5 out of 10.4. Age of mythology retold .5 out of 10.5. Mind craft 3.5 out of 10.6. The Witcher series 2.5 out of 10.7. Ghost recon series 1.5 out of 10.This pc is not good for high end gaming. It’s more for mid range to low end gaming. It is still a good pc for home and office use and mid range gaming and low end gaming.

Easy to setup. Reasonably fast for browsing & streaming, especially for this price point. This is our 2nd purchase, we've been using the 1st reliably for almost 2 years and it's still going strong.

I got this to use as a stand-in for PC's in my business which go down. However, they work so well (and tested so well) that I decided to replace my big PC's with this unit.PROSFAST - Like, I can't believe it fast. There are some small delays in big big activities, but the benchmarks are amazing.PROSSize, obviously. These things are small, take no space and won't break a sweat if you're hauling them up six flights of stairs. Size doesn't hurt the speed or cooling abilities. Unit never got warm testing in my office under load.CONSI wish it was USB powered is probably the biggest one. Most of our laptops are now USB-C powered, and I would love it if this followed suit. I am not fond of proprietary power units you must special order if they go out. I'd much rather be able to port a USB-C cable over to the unit.OVERALLGreat machine, I wouldn't try to game off of it, but it has handled excel files, everything browser, watches movies just fine - looks to really be a well put together unit. I will report back after the Missouri summer gets here.

This is a pretty amazing little computer! Although it's tiny and therefore very portable, you obviously need a monitor and keyboard/mouse to go with it. We thought we'd try this as a replacement for the little Lenovo laptop that we've had anchored to a desk for most of it's life anyway, as that laptop isn't upgradable to Win11. This one comes with Win11 Pro, so it should be good for the foreseeable future. It is surprisingly much faster than our little laptop, and has been flawless so far.Getting it up and running was easy, and for routine web browsing and light duty work it barely gets even warm. It easily handles Office Pro applications, and I've even successfully run an architectural CAD program on it. It takes a few seconds or so to render and while I prefer running this software on a computer with a little more horsepower, it's certainly doable. It has also easily handled some photographic image editing. I have not tried video editing or gaming, and my guess is it'll struggle more with these, but assuming you have reasonable expectations it's definitely worth the price paid.Hopefully it holds up as long as the several older laptops I have that are about to be retired with Win10. Two of those started life with Win7 and have been going for years. Time will tell.

Amazon made me change my very detailed review, which included my specific use for this mini pc, with several photos, to make it more vague on the details for some reason. I got it for use as a media server and it works great for that. Low power consumption, quiet operating noise, very small form factor, and internal storage is upgradeable up to 2TB but external drives work fine. However, RAM is not upgradeable. So if it's important, you should buy the option with the amount of RAM you want.

This is a great value. It works perfectly, Windows loaded the first time in moments, and it functions well. I have this one and a previous generation, and I'm really happy with it.My use case: I have WSA running a couple of Android apps. I also use WSL and Powershell in the Terminal program.I have Docker Desktop running pi-hole. I use it to access some remote machines via SSH in Mobaxterm. I use Tailscale to access my work network. Most of the time I'm also using Chrome with several tabs open. I'm definitely not a gamer.It doesn't feel slow. I also have a K8 and a M5 from the same company for when I need heavy loads. But for the above use case, it's perfect.

Over the weekend it lost network connectivity. Using an ethernet cable did not solve the issue. I had to do a recovery reinstall and losing what little I had saved.Going to use sparingly until I am convinced it is not going to happen again.
