Review on 💻 CHUWI CoreBox Windows 10 Mini PC: Intel i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Expandable 2TB HDD by Cameron Aleman

So, my father's computer was already tired and he needed a new one (it was in the mid 80's). I did a lot of research to find out which computer is best for him. All he really does is check email, look at video attachments here and there, print stuff out and maybe write a letter or something. Additional research showed that even the cheapest Dell Vostro started at 600 (comp only), which was more than it really needed. The repair was much cheaper, but all the hardware was expired. I came across CHUWI while searching, actually I was going to get him a Hero Box but - and I'm not kidding - I didn't think he would take it. Serious. Let's be honest, while I think this is a solid comp, it looks like a toy. Not that that's not the case - it looks like you took the turret and hit it with a shrink ray. It's a little thicker than the Mac mini, but the MM looks a lot stronger and more solid. It looks polished but is very light and feels like it will snap into place when you push it down. There is no floppy drive, but you can buy one for about $10 (it was needed to install something on floppy disks). Only HDMI connection, no VGA. The performance is amazing. When I got it I hooked it up to an old flat screen TV (anything I had for free) to upgrade it to get it out of the box. After hearing how well it worked in 4K, I found a random video online to see how it worked. It looked great. Even on that old TV, which isn't even 4K capable, it looked amazing. As for everything else, it's pretty quick and does everything an older person needs: check email, watch a video or two, print materials, etc. I think even someone who can do a little bit more can handle it . I wouldn't expect to run Read Dead 2 or anything like that on it. Maybe Fallout 3. Maybe. So if you ever find yourself in the same situation as me and want to find a decent computer that isn't too expensive (mind you, if it were, I'd never hear the end of it!), you can run Windows (at the he's used to, runs Win 10 Home), is pretty fast on the web and streams well, give it a try before you do much more on an iPad (as recommended by Consumer Reports) or a laptop (he's a desk/monitor guy) , or rather an expensive tower or mini-tower or even a mini-PC of a more well-known brand - especially for the elderly!
