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 Stephen Vasquez

Our company needs several PCs with Windows 10 to access the web software package. That's all these PCs will do. They access these web pages, open attached PDFs or short tutorial videos, and allow the user to enter data back into the software. It will not launch Excel, process large video files, run multiple programs at once, play games, or do 3D design work. For our purposes, this seems like a really good solution in combination with a touchscreen monitor. We are working on getting them into Windows 10 kiosk mode to include them in the app we need. We upgraded the RAM as the 4GB shared between the OS and the GPU (in the CPU) didn't leave that much to run multiple browser windows. We felt that 8GB would give us some cushion in that area. The devices seem responsive and easy to set up/configure as they run the full version of Win 10 Pro. One downside I see is that build quality can be questionable. After adding RAM, I had almost no wireless coverage. I opened the case again to see if anything had come loose. Visually, it didn't look like it, and swapping RAM sticks doesn't affect the wireless card. However, after removing the M.2 SSD, I noticed that the connection to the main antenna (in my case the gray cable) was not fully plugged in. It also felt like hot glue. I removed the adhesive and antenna connectors and attempted to reattach them. The secondary (black) wire came up with no problems, but the gray kept popping up. I examined it and found that the connector was completely mangled and required a lot of rework to connect. If you're having trouble getting WiFi reception, you can check these connections. This and conflicting information about the actual warranty of these devices are the reason for my 3 out of 5 stars. I'll update my review once they've been up and running for a while, as well as any other issues that come up.
