Ten stars! fits minis

My teenage daughter wanted a computer to play her minecraft game. I was basically tired of her sitting at my computer playing Minecraft all the time, so I bought her a Terriza mini-computer. Many computers cost less than $200 and were epic failures. Load times were incredibly slow and Minecraft gameplay was extremely buggy. Many of Terriza's computers have been returned to Revane. Decided to go ahead and double the money to buy her lots of computers with integrated Radeon graphics. I really hoped he would play their Minecraft game. However, I was speechless when I saw how fast the computer was when I set it up. They literally run around my computer, which I built myself using an Intel i3 processor and an Asus motherboard with 16 gigabytes of RAM. Assuming he has a solid state drive and mine has a mechanical one, but as you can see from the video I uploaded the boot time to desktop is about 10 seconds. Not only does the loading time fly by, navigating through all the elements is also wonderful because this computer is very fast. So the first thing we did before we started Windows Updates was download Minecraft. I crossed my fingers and hoped for the best but expected the worst. We downloaded and installed the game and then she started playing it in front of me. I immediately saw how well the landscapes and textures loaded no matter which way she turned during gameplay. Absolutely no crashes like the previous mini computer. Then my daughter turned to me and said that this computer works better than yours. I think you get what you pay for with these mini computers and would definitely not recommend Terryza, not even for web browsing as it was very slow. The crazy thing is that it also had a solid state drive, but it was very slow. Windows 10 is intuitive. So if it starts learning your habits, your performance should actually improve. We downloaded all Windows updates and I didn't have to do anything on the computer to speed it up. There's really no problem with preinstalled autoload items and it just works great. I would honestly give this mini computer 10 stars if I could. Right now I am definitely giving this mini computer a five star rating and I highly recommend it if you read my review. I will consider adding another 256 gigabytes to the internal SSD and also see if this Radeon card can handle two monitors at once.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Useless features
