Review on Powerful Mini PC: 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8279U, 💪 16GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, 4K Dual HDMI, Windows 10 by Daniel Postle

This machine is well packed. The design is very pleasant. I like the small size of the i5 processor. Most mini PCs have a smaller and slower processor. I gave it to my daughter to test and she launched Minecraft and a few Steam games. She was very satisfied with the overall performance. All I hear from my kids is that computers slow down when they play games. She confirmed no arrears. I wasn't expecting it to have good gaming performance, but I was certainly pleased that it performed better than expected. My plan for this was to remotely control and operate my laser engraver, but now I think it should be dedicated to a much nobler purpose, worthy of its power. Once installed, it was easy to set up and get started. The first boot process took a little longer because some updates were made right away. Not a fault of this computer, but Windows stuck on a black screen for about 5 minutes while updating. If this happens to you, please be patient and wait for the update to complete. One note: Mine didn't come with Windows 10 Pro. I'm not sure if the description is wrong or if the device loaded incorrectly. This wasn't a problem for me as I had a Windows 10 Pro upgrade key to use. If you buy this, make sure it comes loaded with Windows 10 Pro (the upgrade is $99). What I really like about this device is that it has multiple upgrade options. I'm not a big fan of devices that won't let me upgrade. Overall, this is a great device with full desktop power. I can definitely recommend this computer with a clear conscience.
