Unbeatable in the Computers & Accessories category

My first impression of this Trigkey G1 Mini PC wasn't the best as the packaging makes it almost impossible to tell what's inside PCs located. It comes in a brown box with a green envelope that says TRIGKEY G1 GREEN. and "Mini-PC" printed very small at the bottom. If it were on a shelf in a retail store it would probably be hard to tell what it really is, so it might not be the best gift wrap in my opinion. I removed the shrink wrap and green wrap and opened the box. and inside was a mini PC and a box of accessories that had a crease as if someone had a hard time packing them at the factory. So maybe not the best first impression. Luckily it got a lot better once I started using it! The mini PC itself is quite compact and looks good. I first connected it to a huge 5120x1440 display and booted it up. No problem, Windows 10 installation was quick, and once I got started on Windows I was happy to see that it was (on the surface, at least) a "vanilla" Windows 10 installation with no added junk. And thankfully, this is a real Windows 10 install, so you can install your own programs, not just stuff from the Microsoft Store (on some cheap PCs, you can just use the Microsoft Store and not install anything you want). So far it's been solid - relatively fast, I can't hear it due to the ambient noise in my room. performance was good. I have Virtualbox and a Windows 98 virtual machine installed on it because I need to run some very old outdated office software on this machine. everything works great. I give it 5 stars because the handling and performance was fantastic for the price. The packaging might not be the best for a gift, but if you're buying it for your own use, that's not a problem. Nice calculator, great price.

Pros
  • is understandable even for the old
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
