Review on MINIX NEO J50C-8SE: High Performance Intel Pentium Silver Mini PC with Windows 10 Pro (64-bit) - 8GB RAM, 240GB Storage, Triple Display Support, 4K @ 60Hz, Dual-Band Wi-Fi by Mark Toth

great mini for old farts with minimal needs!

Great upgrade to 4/32 z pro. not the most advanced, but it was very difficult to update the old Minix. I put 1 t m2 SATA dongle for storage and 16GB (2*8) for RAM. cloned the operating system with software from Critical. Disabled the 64GB emmc as a contingency plan as others have done. Both Wi-Fi and Gb Ethernet bands work well, as does the HDMI output. I haven't had a reason to check the SPDIF yet as I use HDMI to route all audio through my old audio system which only uses two SPDIF connectors. I haven't used DP or USB-C yet, but I have some peripherals I could use. I liked the build quality of the previous Minix system and don't expect any problems with this one!
