💻 AWOW AK34 Micro PC - Quad Core Intel Celeron J3455, 6GB DDR4, 128GB SATA SSD, Windows 10 Pro, Dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC, Dual HDMI, 5X USB3.0, 4K UHD, Bluetooth Mini Desktop Computer Review

I used this as a PF Sense router to replace my Verizon Fios router. It fits the bill pretty well. The processor is powerful enough for this use and has plenty of RAM to work with. Another nice thing is that the processor has AES-NI, which is a big plus for using it as a VPN gateway for my home network. It can even run Suricata (Intrusion Detection) with ease. It's fairly small, which is ideal, and doesn't use a lot of power. Which is also perfect. The only real complaint I have about it is that

First I look at the overall design of the computer. I like that it's small. It's literally the size of a Roku box, but with more processing power. It's got a nice glossy top, which can be a bad thing because it picks up fingerprints, and the rest is almost all metal to dissipate heat. Next thing is that there are multiple vents for proper airflow. That being said, the device itself is pretty quiet and stays pretty cool for most things I use it for. Behind, where the socket is, five USB 3.0…

This mini computer can easily play your movies/videos from external hard drive or stream videos. Because it's so light and portable, I can take it with me anywhere. Might consider taking it with me when I go camping once this pandemic is over. I was able to remote desktop from the mini PC to the VPN on my work computer without any problems. CPU usage is very low, 3-5%, and memory usage was around 50% of the remote desktop. Since I work from home, I can easily use this mini pc as a backup pc! If

That's wonderful! The last mini pc I bought didn't even have the performance of a good laptop, but this mini pc is the perfect desktop pc for the home or office. Its power is enough to run Win10 and all the popular applications that we all use. I am using my mini pc to run a security camera surveillance system with 17 wired network IP cameras. It acts as a DVR system. I'm watching it on a 40" UHD LED TV. I'm using a 1TB external USB 3.0 hard drive to record data. The unit works great even when…

I'm a big mini pc fan and was looking for a replacement for the dying Intel NUC. I need an inexpensive second computer to do office work, watch YouTube/Netflix, and run a Plex server. In terms of performance, this mini pc looks great and ticks all the boxes. Compared to other mini PCs in this price range, this AWOW has 6GB of RAM (instead of the usual 4) and 128GB SSD (instead of the much slower eMCC). This mini PC is about the same size as my NUC, but it's bigger because you can add an extra…

I received my AWOW J3455 Mini PC with Intel Celeron processor the next day after ordering which was nice. I was looking forward to testing the thing. The mini PC was packaged very nicely and was quick and easy to remove and set up. The mini PC has 6GB DDR4 RAM and a 128GB SATA SSD. Generally sufficient for my first tests and use cases. Plus, you can add more storage space or even add a microSD card with the included hard drive cable. It has plenty of USB 3.0 ports (5!). The initial setup (for…
