Review on 💻 Azulle Quantum Byte Mini Desktop PC - Fanless, Windows 10 Home, Intel Atom Z3735F, 2GB RAM+32GB Storage by Darnell Nahabet

READER'S DIGEST: If you want a VERY basic device that's just for surfing the web, reading and writing emails and maybe messing around with YouTube etc., and performance isn't an issue for you then it will this device probably fit . As a rule of thumb, I think the thing is capable of tasks that you would normally use an average smartphone for. Anything to do with preferring to use a computer is most likely not the right device. It's not bad but you get what you pay for ------------------- Difficult to judge - why? I have to remind myself that I have to give an overview of all the options, but my review should also reflect the price (and therefore lower expectations). Windows 10 - it does its job perfectly. I haven't read enough about the Intel Atom. I knew it wasn't a top-of-the-line processor, and to be honest it's a bit surprising to see a sub-2GHz processor. But then again, that's less than $200. All in all, this calculator serves its purpose very well. It's designed to turn your HDTV into an all-in-one, maybe even invisibly mounted on the back. It's good for that. It crashes a little more often than I'd like, and it's definitely slow even with basic use. I bought mine solely as a low-end media server. Yes, I know it's not very good for that. Basically the NAS I bought couldn't supposedly be a media server so all I needed was something cheap with Windows to run "PlayOn" so I could stream local files (our house has mobile internet so streaming -Broadcast banned so instead I have to use my Hulu and Netflix accounts with relatives etc to record DVR style video for later viewing). It didn't work for this purpose. Luckily my NAS has a media server setup, so I implemented that and streamed directly from the NAS to my PS4. So now I'm just using Azulle to write said streams. It's really not very good at this task, but it gets the job done. After all, I should have spent a little more and bought a crappy $300 laptop. However, all this in hindsight, as I am not even using the device for its original purpose at the moment. A NOTICE. I always plug the PSU cord into the box BEFORE plugging it into the wall. Why? A part of the back of the chassis is made of metal. The part where the power connector is located. If I plug the adapter into the wall first and touch the sides of the socket on the back of the Quantum Byte, I get an arc. Delicious. Seriously, there should have been a small plastic ring to isolate/insulate this hole from the metal parts, but there isn't. As said, you get what you pay for. I'm surprised I didn't forget this thing when it happened.
