Review on Azulle Quantum Access Fanless Mini PC Stick - Powerful πŸ’» 2GB/32GB Portable Business or Home Computer Device with Windows 10 Home by Bob Souza

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good value for money - can handle video streaming and bring an old VGA monitor to life.

Installation: Mini PC Azulle Quantum Access StickHann-G 19" VGA monitor (not purchased here) VicTsing Gold-Placed 1080P HDMI to VGA Adapter HDMI to VGA Active Adapter Video Converter with Micro USB and 3.5mm Audio Port Cable for PC/Notebook/DVD REQUIRED HDMI Female to Female (I mixed up and forgot the HDMI/VGA adapter has a male end but they sell HDMI to VGA here with a HDMI female end), so plan ahead or buy something else that comes from AMZN or a US seller.) Keyboard and mouse combo: Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard with integrated multi-touch touchpad, black Pros: - Windows 10 - 32-bit Home version installed No need to upgrade or go through hoops etc. Price/size It can handle streaming video (see video review) and plays movies without skipping or buffering issues It does so at download speeds speeds from 7 to 10 Mbit/s. Netflix and SlingTV work great. I have a wall mounted surge protector with built in 2.1A USB ports (the output of the power adapter that comes with Azulle is 2.0A) so I just plugged a plain USB cable into it while the VGA monitor is connected. network filter. I'm not sure if this is a Windows bug or an azulle issue, but I couldn't update Windows on the first launch. I had to make some adjustments in the Services menu to enable Windows Update. Watch my video if you encounter any problem. Cons: - No dedicated audio/mic ports (you need a separate USB adapter if you want to output audio, especially if you connect it to an old VGA monitor, which I did) - USB 2.0 ports x1. While you technically get a second USB 2.0 port, it's actually a microUSB port, so you'll need an adapter like this: C&E CNE28224 USB 2.0 Adapter Cable A Female to Micro B Male Micro USB Host Mode OTG - Adapter cable to get a second USB port. But that's understandable given the limited space in a device of this size. It's only 32GB of hard drive space, but the great thing is that even after a Windows update, you still have around 15GB left. I installed a 32GB microSD card in the slot and basically everything was installed on it. Websites can freeze (both Edge and Chrome) but I'm not sure if it's due to my internet connection or just the websites. difficult days. I mean WTH, even before the page loads, tons of ads and videos start playing automatically. (Yes, I understand these sites are supposed to offer "free" services and make money, but I'm sure this can cause problems with sites hanging. - I can even do this on my MBP Retina with a 8GB square.) Core processor etc - sorry for the tirade!) Basically I'm using it to connect an old VGA monitor (on which Azuulle somehow had a much better video output than my MBP) with an HDMI to vga adapter and it serves it's purpose as my kids school system basically uses Google Docs/Drive for all their work so I don't even need MS Office or anything like that. I would definitely buy it again and am considering buying it and using it on a big screen TV in the living room. Of course, it can definitely be used to create a great computer system (or "stupid terminal") for any organization. by repurposing all those outdated VGA and Azulle monitors (with a simple $15 adapter) and kind of "second-gluing" Azulle to the back. Yes, I see the theft of this azulle widespread.
