Works well as a media center, simple browser or programmer

This mini computer can easily play your movies/videos from external hard drive or stream videos. Because it's so light and portable, I can take it with me anywhere. Might consider taking it with me when I go camping once this pandemic is over. I was able to remote desktop from the mini PC to the VPN on my work computer without any problems. CPU usage is very low, 3-5%, and memory usage was around 50% of the remote desktop. Since I work from home, I can easily use this mini pc as a backup pc! If you are a programmer, Visual Studio Code will run smoothly on this mini PC! I probably wouldn't recommend the full-fledged Visual Studio as my main PC with 32GB of memory sometimes struggles with it. One thing I would recommend is disabling Windows Telemetry as it was constantly running in the background and consuming valuable CPU usage. After turning off windows telemetry, the performance of this mini pc is much better. Overall, I'm very happy with what I've been able to do with this mini PC. Can't wait to play Ubuntu on this little machine.

Pros
  • Hands-free
Cons
