This mini PC has everything you need to do the job that many people would love to do in a device of this size. It's not ideal for gaming, but makes a fantastic option for digital signage (hidden behind a TV on a show stream) or connecting to a TV in the living room for movie nights or basic workstations. both at home and at work. The main advantages of this device? 1) 8 GB of system memory per person. This isn't the fastest RAM, which is typical for these mini PCs. However, that's a decent amount to run in any Windows 10 environment. Of course, you can run Windows 10 with 4GB of RAM, but you'll lose some hair in the process. In our opinion, 8GB is the minimum for the best experience. You can't upgrade, that's the only downside. Many of these mini PCs have built-in memory, which is unfortunate. The processor is also built in, but that's almost always the case, regardless of brand or price (in the case of a mini PC) 2) Bluetooth 5.0 for better sound quality and reliable communication between devices. Also more bandwidth when it comes to data/compression layers. 3) Three displays that really work. Well, if you save at least some self-control. A dual display with 4K@60 resolution is heavy enough for a system. If you're running three monitors (two via HDMI and one via USB-C), you'll probably want to keep the 1080p resolution so the processor has enough breathing room for everything else Windows and other running applications are doing. 4) The SSD goes in. Considering it's SATA M.2 (not NVMe) and only 128GB. That means it's enough to get your C drive up and running, plus you get another M.2 slot for an additional NVMe drive. So you CAN use NVMe, it just isn't included. So two M.2 slots, one SATA (included) and another NVMe. They mention that you can also install a 2.5" SATA SSD, but we can't find a way to do that. There is a ribbon slot, but the ribbon is not included. So there is still room for improvement. Everything Else You'd expect from a mini PC at this price point and even a little more. Carefully! It's fast enough, although we've seen slightly better processors elsewhere (considering some are slightly more expensive). We liked this one! USB boot priority seems to be (in BIOS). This can be a killer deal for some, so a few things to consider. You can try booting from the Windows recovery menu --- via Settings->Recovery screen where you can select "Use device" where it can work sometimes. Don't choose USB as boot priority over HDD as there simply isn't such an option. If you found our review helpful, please rate it as helpful below.
