Great mini PC! in desktops

At first I only bought it to stream web content on my TV. The car is very fast and responsive. Quiet, that's nice. I originally bought a Bilink but the fan sounded like it was trying to take off. So I sent it back immediately. What's even nicer, if you want, this thing can be upgraded. You can add WiFi card and replace processor, memory and hard drive. It comes with a hard drive and still has an m.2 slot if you want to add one. Now for the things I don't mind but are of little concern. Basically I had 8 gigabytes but it was a single flash drive so it worked in single channel mode not dual channel mode if it had 2 4 gigabyte sticks. Even its old memory is only 1066 MHz. For $40 you can get 2 chips with 4 gigs at 2133MHz, and with two they work in dual-channel mode. However, obviously this hard drive is many years old and therefore slower than new ones. However, it is like an SSD which is much faster than a spinning hard drive. Now for the joke that made me laugh. The mouse and keyboard that come with the kit are complete garbage and should be discarded immediately. It also says Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. it's not wrong, but it's a USB stick, so it's pretty slow. I don't use either because it sits next to my router, so it's connected to the network and not wireless. You can buy a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth card for around $20, install it, and get much faster speeds. Still, it's a nice little car!

Pros
