Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent mini PC with surround sound via HDMI

Bought to replace an 8 year old desktop PC that I used as a home cinema. This little guy uses some of the performance of the old one and puts out very little heat in my home theater cabinet. Better than expected performance for the Celeron J4xxx series. I don't think it will perform very well even with 5 years of graphics intensive gaming, but it streams Netflix, HBO Max, Revain Prime etc in high definition with no issues and plays locally saved HD and 4K. content without problems. More importantly, the sound quality is excellent. It outputs 6 channels of 24-bit 96kHz audio over HDMI for my 5.1 surround sound setup, which required an expensive add-on graphics card on my old PC. The only issue I had was that sometimes my chosen desktop wallpaper doesn't show up when I wake up, which is most likely a Windows 10 issue and it doesn't affect the functional performance of the PC for the tasks I need it to run. Do it. Very important!

Pros
  • understandable even for the old ones
Cons
  • Some little things
