Should have bought this a long time ago.

I am using an I5 560M laptop with spindle disk and 4GB RAM running Windows 10 Pro as a multimedia PC. I know that hard drive is the main cause of poor performance on Windows 10. I have found that this processor is still faster than Beelink after various tests, but this system is much better than my 560M. Before unpacking, I noticed that the packaging was well put together. In general, the better the packaging, the better the product. There is a yellow label explaining how to disable WIFI and make sure there is no LAN connection. For an IT professional, this is the preferred method to install Windows 10 for a personal account. The installation went as expected. Windows updates took a while, but that was to be expected given the OS version was 3 months old. The system time is shifted by 4 hours. This was a quick fix in windows time settings and reminded me to check the time in bios. BIOS time was 4 hours behind but it was a simple setup. With 2 HDMI outputs, this lightweight office system is ideal for dual display applications such as spreadsheets and multiple websites. In addition, it takes up very little space and is characterized by low power consumption. 1080P video performance is as expected when using applications from the Microsoft Store. The audio output supports Dolby Surround, for example 5.1 Dolby Digital. Video playback with web browsers has expected performance. I also use this to stream audio to groups of speakers around the house. Most of the audio comes from the network storage of my music collection and some comes from various music streaming services. I've noticed that it feels lighter on foot than my 560M. All in all this is a great product.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Annoyed
