Review on πŸ”₯ Qotom-Q555G6-S05: Powerful Intel Core i5 7200U Industrial Micro PC with 6 Gigabit Ethernet NIC - Small yet Versatile Barebone System by Kendriece Figueroa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Powerful little computer that fits in a flat network closet in the wall

Built-in OPNSense for home networking. 6-port version, barebones. Installed Samsung 16GB RAM and 256 Indmem SSD. Completely redundant, but will be used later for other software. Barely reaches 1% of the processor on average. Pretty cool on touch.Config: The first port connects to the cable modem. 4 of the 5 remaining ports are connected to different parts of the house including the wireless access point in the living room. A port is not used. There is no separate switch. The initial setup takes place via a USB stick and a directly connected monitor with keyboard. All network interfaces are functional, installing RAM and SSD was quick and easy. OPNSense worked fine booting from USB, but the installer had a few errors initializing the GUI installer, but just trying again did the trick. After installation on SSD no more problems. No problem changing BIOS settings. Probably twice as thick as the tplink r600 vpn device I had before but still very compact. Generally very satisfied so far.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Big and bulky
