Review on πŸ’» CHUWI CoreBox Windows 10 Mini PC: Intel i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Expandable 2TB HDD by Mohammed Prude

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pleasantly surprised

After looking at other similar "mini PCs" I settled on this one based on the processor and the size of the SSD. While others I looked at offered Windows Pro, 3 display support, or USB-C, they also came with slower processors and/or smaller SSDs. Out of this group, this little CHUWI suits my needs the best and so far I am very happy with my purchase. After unboxing the unit, I quickly (and easily) added the second hard drive I had (1 Terabyte HD) on which I would store my data. Setting up Windows was fairly easy (there aren't many updates), and I had no trouble setting up dual monitors, wireless mouse and keyboard, networking, and Bluetooth headphones. I am happy to report that I have had no problems. Problems with a processor that is too slow and although I don't intend to use it for video editing or high-resolution gaming, I use McAfee Antivirus and 8GB of RAM and an SSD are enough not to slow down the system. While it would be nice if the device came with a USB-C port, I don't really need it and am happy with a pair of USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Quality
