MINIX Z83-4 Plus/MAX 4GB/128GB Fanless Mini PC: Intel Cherry Trail Windows 10 Pro, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, 4K Output, BT - Buy from MINIX Review

Used as a replacement for an older i3 Win7 computer used for email, word processing and scanning. Works well for this, even with 4g RAM. The MicroSD slot is tricky to keep the SD card powered on, but once inserted it works fine. Let it run for a month and it just worked. Not heated, all connections work. Does the job well.

1 star because malware was found on both devices I ordered. I'm not sure what companies' intentions are when Windows 10 Pro comes preinstalled with Trojan installed and Windows Defender Scan Engine not installed. Luckily I work in IT, formatted both systems and removed them along with the rootkit on the drive.

I use this in my home office and I have its predecessor which had 32 gigabytes of solid state memory which is getting to cramped with windows updates. 64 gigabytes in this machine give it the peace of mind it needs. Very good for office work, works great with Libre Office for all my business books, web and writing, and it's completely silent. It attaches to the back of my 24" Sony monitor, making it very desktop friendly and taking up no desk space. A cost-effective way to have the convenience…

I had a 15 inch laptop in my living room which I used to stream from my upstairs media server. I bought a MINIX to replace my laptop because it takes up less space and generates less heat (I also wanted to give my teenager a laptop as a gift). Worked great! For the purpose I use it for, I didn't need a lot of storage space. I needed Windows 10, HDMI and WiFi. If you need storage space, this machine is not for you. I only find it good for streaming and web browsing. Paired with a Bluetooth mouse

The computer is working properly. But very sluggish. It's not even possible to switch from full screen to normal screen on YouTube without pausing the video for a second or more. The computer is connected to a 5 GHz wireless network with a very strong signal because it is very close to the access point. If you can't play YouTube videos smoothly, forget to start a game. Not even Wormate.io. I will not recommend buying this computer for gaming. Only if you run some not very demanding…

There are similar products at better prices, but I still decided on the Minix Z83-4 Plus. I wanted a cheap Windows computer, but the reason I bought it was because it came with Windows 10 Pro, an external Wi-Fi antenna, 64GB of storage, and was Minix branded. The reason I wouldn't recommend using a 32GB Windows device is that Windows 10 requires more storage space to update. There are workarounds, but I wanted less hassle with updates.

has been running for several weeks with no problems. Solidly made, of course, there is nothing to complain about in terms of quality. There were no viruses or other malware installed on my device, so there are no complaints. This device runs a simplified version of Windows 10 Pro. This OS choice can be a positive depending on your needs, but the bad news is that you get stuck with regular forced Windows updates. They appear frequently and take forever to install. In fact, I spent the first 2…

The Create Pin option failed. In the Win10 settings. Frustrated, I decided to return. After an email with Minix technology, I rebooted with the offline option. This made Windows work again. Back then, online setup was automatic. I still don't have a needle. This is a dead link. I canceled the return. I will work with it. Overall ok for my limited needs. This is a complete computer I killed by spilling liquid on it.
