Review on N40 Celeron Fanless Computer Support by Terry Brendemuehl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great mini PC! suitable for computers and tablets

I bought this the day it became available and I'm glad I did. When it arrived I was able to compare it to an older model (1 year old) and it exceeded my expectations on day one. If you are looking for a mini pc, this is it. The kit came with everything to connect, everything works perfectly. I used Windows 10 on it for a while, but ended up installing Elementary OS. It installed perfectly with working sound and wifi right out of the box. Both operating systems can play 4K YouTube without any problems. Build quality: The case is made of plastic, but that's not a disadvantage. It's light enough to be mounted to the back of a monitor with the included bracket. Mine doesn't have a Visa mount available when the stand is on it so I used two pieces of 3M tape and it lasted over a month with no sign of loosening. The power button feels nice when pressed and the power bank isn't overly large. Performance: This is where the device really shines. I've had issues with other mini pc's in the past and this has always put me off buying a new one. faster than try. As I said before, this device works great with 4K YouTube. I was able to sign into Netflix and play streams on Windows 10 without any problems. It's fast and allows you to multitask without lag. Everything seems to work. Accessories: Includes bracket, short HDMI cable, power cord and everything needed for assembly. Nothing else is needed. Summary: If you are looking for a mini PC, this is the one to consider. For the price it is sold for there is no reason not to try it. It works great for any task you set it. Just keep in mind that this isn't designed for high-end games, but you can play small simple games that don't require a lot of graphics. It is ideal as a small computer at the reception, in the kitchen, as a desktop for the office or even as a guest computer. Its 4K capabilities make it a great home theater computer that can be connected to any monitor. Just buy a wireless touchpad keyboard and you're done! The contacts I had with technical support prior to my first purchase were smooth and very professional.
