Great for students and home entertainment

We bought this for my high school nephew who needs a home school computer. This computer is small enough to fit anywhere, yet powerful enough to meet student needs. I was impressed. Beautiful packaging with simple branding and product image. In the box there is a mini PC, 2 HDMI cables (short and long), a HDD/SDD expansion kit, a power supply, a VESA adapter and a user manual. The mini PC is of high quality and the housing looks high quality. I like that there are enough vents in the case to keep the system cool. I have another Beelink mini pc with an Intel i3 processor and for comparison this mini pc has better air vents than the i3 version. It's quick and easy to set up, I got all the latest Windows updates up and running in less than 30 minutes. I've downloaded Google Chrome, LibreOffice (a free office suite), and several casual games and can run them all at the same time with no problem. I'm impressed with the performance and multitasking abilities: when I compare it to the i3 (2 cores/4 threads), this Celeron machine (4 cores/4 threads) can sometimes outperform the i3 on some tasks. 4K video playback is very smooth, video loads instantly and doesn't stutter, which is definitely good when used as an HTPC or streaming PC connected to the back of a TV. This mini PC also comes with a 2.5" HDD/SSD installation kit, the included user manual is very simple and the drive itself can be installed in less than 10 minutes. I've tried playing some casual games (Asphalt 9, CSGO) and to my surprise they're being handled with no problems. While playing I tried to touch the case of the mini PC and it doesn't heat up at all, but it heats up tolerably. After I built it and handed it to my nephew, he was surprised how small it is but powerful enough to play CSGO, he also likes this computer a lot. Overall we are very happy with our purchase. There is a lot of power and performance packed into this small package. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if needed.
