Review on 💻 Fanless Silent Desktop Mini PC Z83-F - 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, Windows 10 Pro, Intel Quad Core CPU up to 1.92GHz, 1000M LAN, HDMI & VGA, Auto Power On, Micro Computer by Rushabh Gonsales

I got this last night and got iSpy up and running in a few hours. I need a Windows system where I can set up automatic login and run iSpy to record videos (iSpy requires Windows). So you must have the right expectations for this type of system. If you think you're getting a portable, fast-paced slot machine or something like that, you'll need to look elsewhere. This type of system is more suited to a single purpose application where resources can be fully utilized for the single purpose for which they are intended. In my case, this is recording video from cameras. I originally considered a similar system that came with no operating system installed, but decided to shell out the extra $29 for the preinstalled Windows Pro. This made it easy to get my project up and running quickly without worrying about getting an operating system first and the bare metal download/installation hassles that come with it. I just plugged in the monitor, keyboard, mouse and power and let them boot up and work. I have allowed this to continue and am also running Windows Update from the internet. After that I just started installing a few utilities and the application I needed. I then spent about an hour configuring and configuring Windows to log in automatically. desktop. Now this is my video capture device. Here are some details on what I got: - Performance is acceptable - iSpy with 2 HD cameras stays at around 20-25% CPU - Memory seems to be pretty close to 50% (2GB) most of the time . Time.- Two users (administrator and power user who runs the app) plus OS takes up about half of the internal 64GB hard drive. Issues: Windows Task Manager and CPU-Z report CPU speeds of 1.44 GHz instead of 1.92 GHz. Sometimes iSpy stops responding when you play HD videos via remote desktop connection. But video over RDC sucks anyway so I didn't expect it to do well. Basically I just want it to record so I can view and archive files on more powerful computers on my private network. - Setting up BitLocker on C: drive is not easy - I need to create a recovery environment. But I think it's more of a Windows issue than a hardware issue. Other observations: WiFi works fine, but I turned it off because I'm using a LAN connection. The device gets a little warmer than room temperature, but not by much Good I/O connections and case build. The layout works in such a way that the cables for keyboard, mouse, power or monitor are quite scattered in this tiny chassis. The SD card only fits about 1/3 in, so 2/3 of it sticks out. Despite this, there will be no conflicts with other wires. *Note on processor speed - I submitted feedback on the difference between an observed speed of 1.44GHz and a reported speed of 1.92GHz. Here is the answer:
