Review on I5 8279U Processor Computer πŸ’» with Windows OS – Up to 4.1GHz by Wayne Seba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome mini computer

I bought this mini/micro computer because it takes up much less space than my old desktop without sacrificing processing power. I mainly use a microcomputer to process orders for my small online business. So I like that I can easily move it from one part of the house to another without much hassle. Setup was very easy as Windows 10 is installed, I was able to sign in with my Microsoft account and all my settings were available immediately. It's so damn quiet that I'm glad there's a backlit power button because otherwise I wouldn't know if it's on or off. The internal fan does a great job of keeping the internal temperature down, so I don't mind placing the computer on a tablecloth or flammable material as it doesn't get really hot. I typically have three or four tabs open when using my browsers, and this computer can buffer and switch with nominal latency. I also appreciate the download speed, which took forever on my old desktop, but takes less than a minute to download on this new computer. I connected my monitor to one of the HDMI ports on the back and used a separate power supply to power it up. The mini computer comes with its own adapter to adjust the voltage it gets to work. It also has plenty of USB ports so I can add Bluetooth or hardware accessories like my mouse.
