Review on πŸ’» GIGABYTE BRIX Mini-PC GB-BSRE-1605 (AMD Ryzen V1605B / Radeon Vega 8 Graphics/ Gigabit LAN/ Bluetooth/ WiFi/ HDMI/ USB 3.2) - Ultra Compact by Robert Pearson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome little computer, terrible documentation.

Compact and powerful. When I needed a small server, I bought this machine in part because I had extra RAM from another upgrade, as well as a few extra SATA drives. However, I was under the wrong impression and this machine only supports M.2 SATA drives. It should be noted that although this device is compatible with an M.2 slot, it does NOT support NVMe diving. I ended up having to order the appropriate drive to complete the assembly of this machine. What I got surprised me. The APU is better than expected, making this small slot suitable for a wide range of latest generation games. The included documentation is worse than a bad joke though. I am shocked at how little information is available about this machine both in the box and on the Gigabyte website. However, it is absolutely worth the price.
