Perfect for what I needed but not for everyone

Context matters when evaluating this mini pc. I give it five stars for its intended use; Your mileage may vary. This is a small but full-featured PC for no-fuss use. It includes brackets that can be attached to the back of the monitor to create your own all-in-one. It is suitable for office applications, web surfing (Chrome and Edge browsers tested) and streaming services. I tested it with a professional video management system (Salient CompleteView) and it worked great too, although some advanced features (thumbnail search) slowed things down significantly. So where can you use it? Anywhere you need a lightweight PC - I put mine in the garage, hooked it up to an extra HDTV I had lying around and it's great for finding information, watching YouTube tutorials, checking email and occasionally stream Netflix while I work in my office. carpentry. It has a better user experience than a streaming stick, albeit at 8 times the price, and is convenient, fast enough for anything I throw at it, and invisible when attached to the back of a TV. What should be avoided? If you want to play games, keep many browser tabs open at the same time or run multiple applications at the same time. You can expand storage with an inexpensive external drive or flash drive, but expanding this box defeats the purpose. Recommended if your application isn't very demanding, but it's great for most advanced PC needs.

Pros
  • Large and expandable memory
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
