CUK Pavilion TG01 Professional Home Desktop (Ryzen 5, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD, AMD Radeon RX Vega Graphics, Windows 10 Home) Student PC Tower Gamer Computer (Made_by_HP)

Initially concerned at the discrepancies the listing had (as of 2/25/21), I found myself worrying over nothing when the system arrived with exactly what the seller had told me it would be: AsRock X300W with wifi antennas, 16gb (2x8) DDR4 3200mhz, a Kingston 512gb NVME drive, and a Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G processor all ready to run right out of the box. All I needed was a Windows verification code, but there was room for me to add two 2.5" SSDs and another NVME drive. It's shocking how much fits into a case that covers less space than my splayed hand.I'd like to thank CUK's marketing team for being so responsive to my questions, and for the whole team for putting together such a nice system (that arrived early).

I gotta say, for a computer this tiny, it really delivers! Small form factor is definitely the way of the future. HD gaming like I've never been able to achieve on any laptop I've owned. Also an excellent pick for anyone into the Emulation scene. I'm currently using a small drawing table as my computer space, and anything larger than this would absolutely monopolize the room I have, but this fits in quite nicely. Also a pleasant surprise that the wireless chip came with Bluetooth as well. I was prepared to buy a module for that functionality, but very glad I didn't have to. Only upgrades to this will probably be RAM (HyperX Impact) and the cooler (planning on getting the Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.Black), but I probably would have done the same with any other pre-built system. I'm very picky. All-in-all, thoroughly satisfied with this build, and I highly recommend both a Ryzen APU and the Computer Upgrade Kings.

I did a bunch of looking for best value in my first mini PC and I landed on this CUK Ryzen 5 based model. Really pleased with the performance for routine office work as well as a media transcoder / server and digital photo editing. I opted for the 16Gb dual channel RAM (Samsung) and added a 2Tb NVMe drive to the 512Gb NVMe SSD (WD SN730). One downside is that the 2nd NVMe is on the bottom of the motherboard, so you have to unmount the board to access it and the airflow is limited. I opted to also upgrade from from the stock cooler to the Noctua low profile cooler, which is almost as wide as the entire board but fits well and is whisper quiet. The PC box is a tad ugly and could support a few more USB ports, but Overall I’m very happy with the price and performance of this PC.

I absolutely love it! The PC came packaged very well and in a timely manner. Had a rocky start when I first received it and had to do some tweaking. The installed Toshiba 512GB NVMe SSD would only boot once in every dozen or so power cycles. I ended up cloning the included Windows 10 Home installation onto a SATA SSD and all is fine now. The kit is easy to disassemble and swap parts around as long as you are somewhat familiar with working on PCs.The Ryzen 5 3400G was being cooled by the stock cooler from AsRock that comes with the base A300 kit. It coil whined terribly! I quickly swapped that out for a low-profile Noctua cooler and now it's whisper quiet and thermals are great under load. Idle temps stayed about the same with both coolers. Even though the listing doesn't state it, my unit came with 2 sticks of DDR4 memory so it can benefit from dual channel memory which is very important for an integrated GPU. The memory sticks were MICRON and I would have liked to see some more well known, reliable sticks come with it but the included ones seem to be working okay with good timings. This listing also comes with a M.2 WiFi card and antennas. Also included are two SATA cables if you want to mount a couple SATA HDD/SSDs.I had previously tried out a couple models of Intel-based NUCS and they just couldn't cut it. They always failed in the iGPU department with very poor performance. I use this PC in my shop for SketchUp woodworking design mostly and it performs very well. But I also threw some lite gaming at it and so far... it powers through them like a champ! For what it's worth, I also tried Blender and Cinema 4D on it... no issues! Mind you though that these 3D applications are very intensive and take quite a bit of horsepower to function well so I'll continue to use my desktop for those. But it was interesting to see if they'd run on this PC!Where space is limited, this tiny PC is really where it shines. It packs so much into a tiny box that's about the size of an ATX power supply. It can be VESA mounted, but that's about $20 extra for AsRock's mount but well worth it IMO! With a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse, you can have a very clutter-free space to work on.Great product and I am very happy with it!
