Review on 💻 AWOW AK34 Micro PC - Quad Core Intel Celeron J3455, 6GB DDR4, 128GB SATA SSD, Windows 10 Pro, Dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC, Dual HDMI, 5X USB3.0, 4K UHD, Bluetooth Mini Desktop Computer by Jhon Clark

I received my AWOW J3455 Mini PC with Intel Celeron processor the next day after ordering which was nice. I was looking forward to testing the thing. The mini PC was packaged very nicely and was quick and easy to remove and set up. The mini PC has 6GB DDR4 RAM and a 128GB SATA SSD. Generally sufficient for my first tests and use cases. Plus, you can add more storage space or even add a microSD card with the included hard drive cable. It has plenty of USB 3.0 ports (5!). The initial setup (for Windows) took a little longer than I thought, but that's Windows for you. After the initial setup was complete, I was able to log in and use the computer. This thing works great for such a small package. I downloaded a lot of articles, installed a few apps and ran many of them at the same time. Excellent overall performance for this one. I really enjoy using it so far. I tested it in two different ways - one as an MRTG surveillance device and the other as an OpnSense firewall (bootable from a USB stick). So far I haven't had any problems with any of the configurations. It works well. As for the firewall, I haven't noticed any degradation in the quality of service on my network. The firewall part works well and having two network cards on the mini PC was fine for this test. If I decide to monitor MRTG I will most likely add another disk or at least storage so I can keep the logs a bit longer (I want to view history over a long period of time). I really like the car and may need to add another to my collection. I may have to test it as a media server (Plex) in the future. I think it will work fine for that.
