A fantastic little daily use/Plex server PC
So for a while I had been running my Plex server from my customer built gaming PC. The problem was that even at idle my computer was pulling quite a lot of watts - CPU approx 28w, GPU 18w (both measurements taken from HWInfo64), and I cannot even begin to measure how many watts all 9 fans, water pump and everything else in my setup is pulling without having to buy a measuring device to plug into my mains. If I was to hazard a guess, I would say around 100w at idle. So how many watts was this little PC pulling at idle?Three.That's it, 3 watts of power when just sitting there. Even when plex was streaming a film to another device, it only went up to an average of 6. This machine's CPU apparently has a TDP of 15 watts. I've yet to get it to do that with what I do.So what you get for your money is an Intel N95 CPU - this is essentially 4 e-cores with no hyperthreading that runs at a max boost of 3.4Ghz. At idle it can run as low as 900Mhz from my testing and average use it pushes at around 1.5-2Ghz. This would be web browsing and youtube video watching. The memory config I got was the 8Gb model, which for the purpose I needed it for is perfectly fine. a 256Gb NVMe drive was installed the version I had which contained the Windows 11 OS. Kudos to the seller, absolutely no bloatware was included. It doesn't really get any cleaner as an install, unless you wish to wipe and install your own OS of choice. It's not a lightning fast drive but still fast enough for day to day usage and still a million times faster than a mechanical hard drive.Two HMDI outputs are supplied which can drive two 4K (2160p) monitors/TVs at a max of 60Hz. Of course if doing so, try not to push too much out of the CPU at once, especially multimedia based stuff. The manufacturer even supplies a short HDMI cable in the box.What is a great little bonus is the removable SSD drive enclosure on the underside. If you have no intention of installing one, then you can just simply unclip this part and the PC is even thinner. However it is a great addition and again for my Plex server it meant I could connect a 2Tb SSD drive to the underside to store my media.Now I run it as a Plex server and for that it is perfectly fine. Just some tweaks may be needed to ensure that Plex is running towards the faster end of transcoding as opposed to pushing the CPU and you will be fine. In all honesty I couldn't see really any difference in quality on 4K videos.Gaming? Forget it. Unless you plan to run older stuff (retro gaming like Mame/Retroarch etc...) or DOS based games (DOSBox etc...) then it's not meant for current gaming. Will most modern games run? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely not. But then it wasn't designed for that.Noise levels, it really is a quite little thing. As long as you have the power settings to balanced and not try to push it beyond what it's really designed for then you barely hear the fan at all. Mine is located right behind the TV in my front room and even when everything else is off in the room, I struggle to hear the PC running.Aesthetically it looks very nice with the LED lighting going around the top, just under the lid and through the cooling fins, so if you have the PC on a desk, it does look very good.So in conclusion, if you are looking for a daily use mini-PC for browsing, office type work and even basic low spec gaming or running a media server, this machine is for you. For the price, I cannot really fault it.

Good One
When I was considering to buy a new PC it was either between a desktop or a laptop so Mini PC was a great middle ground.Great purchase it's discreet, quiet, it looks great, as small as the computer is it has great ports availability and versatility, it does the job.The memories pretty small so I installed a internal hard drive from my previous laptop very easy to do.I've had it for a year and a half now and works as well as did fresh out the box. What more do you want for a PC?

Doesn't have Windows 11 Pro.
Does not have Windows 11 Pro as advertised. Comes with Windows 11 Home, and it's £119.99 to upgrade to Pro. Still good value for money however.

Compact, Powerful, and Easy to Set Up
This Nano PC is exactly what I was looking for! It’s quick to set up, has a sleek and modern design, and performs amazingly well for its size. The machine is strong enough to handle multiple tasks without any lag. Perfect choice for anyone needing a compact yet powerful PC!

Follow the instructions or you could spend a while for the Windows updates to download
Great value. Easy to setup. Follow the instructions not to connect to the Internet until you have plenty of time as there were lots of Windows updates that download and install. I used it as a cheap solution to connect a large display screen in a Farm Shop to display several remote cctv's

Just died - Not Working
Not working - died by itself. Not turning on at all. I purchased this item 8 months ago. All of a sudden I tried to turn it on this morning and nothing happens when I press the power button. I checked the power cord and power source both are ok. The PC itself will not turn on at all. I tried holding down the power button but nothing happens at all. We did not use this for any heavy processing or servers, just basic use. Now it's not working at all. Out of nowhere it just died. It was working last night, we shut it down, and this morning it is not turning on at all. None of the external plugs have changed. It's clearly the PC itself. I sent a message to the seller. Please contact me back. Definitely not worth the price I paid if it is nothing but a paperweight after 8 months. I tried calling the number on the back but it is no longer in service. Requesting help from the seller.
