Review on πŸ’» AWOW Mini PC: Windows 10 Home/Pro, Intel Celeron N3350, 6GB DDR4/64GB eMMC, 4K Support, WiFi, Ethernet, Bluetooth by John Baker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

CPU always at 100%: Minis

This Celeron core uses 100% uninterrupted eMMC bottleneck performance from the start, even with Celeron CPU. uses M.2 SATA (not NVME) and does not show the full potential of the drive. Therefore, it is necessary to clone eMMC OS partition to M.2 SATA to minimize the bottleneck. but the cpu still stays at 100%. The 4K display is deceptive. Yes, it projects 4K with no issues, but it can't stream 4K very well. Even with highly compressed videos on YouTube, there are constant frame drops and stutters. This should be perfect for 1080P, but with constant max CPU usage I have no hope for the future on this device. rather spend a little more and opt for an i3 processor. Stay away from Celeron and Atom processors.

Pros
  • Outstanding design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
