Gone are the days when you bought a cheap PC that was obsolete before you left the shop (to exaggerate slightly). Well, in theory. Nowadays, those of modest specification are still great for browsing or streaming music and likely to be so for several years and this is really where this mini PC comes in. It runs a bang up to date Windows operating system and it should cheerfully handle light duties for many years to come whilst being eligible for software updates.Having set it up and run it through my typical daily tasks I find it generally doesn't get in the way of what I want to do. I can browse, word process, play music and watch video. Windows 11 is undoubtedly a lot slicker than Windows 95. Shut down is still filed under start, seems some things never change, but otherwise it looks better than ever.However, I thought it worth seeing what else it could do. A basic PC should still be able to do a bit of video editing in 2022, shouldn't it? Yes it should. For kicks, I downloaded PhotoMosh Pro 12.0 to see if it could render some video effects my eight year old Mac mini can manage running on the same amount of RAM and cheaper to buy second hand can. It can't. I dropped a six minute 4K file into PhotoMosh on the new machine and it froze, whereas the aging Mac handled it without complaint. So this lil' computer really is for basic stuff.As you'd expect with a budget computer the storage is barebones but it's easily expandable and cheaply at that, via the SD port. The port consignment is generous overall and really all this might fall down on is the competition. I did a bit of shopping round and found similar spec for £50 less on a mini computer. However, 'similar' is not like for like and you may find this computer has a dinkier form factor and spec sheet that meets your needs more precisely. I think it's a respectable machine overall but I'd go for a more future proof processor or save my pennies.

This is the smallest Mini PC I have ever seen. I was sceptical that it would switch off from overheating since it has no fan. I am happy that it operates fine for basic computing. So Office applications like Excel, Word and Outlook as well as web browsing run smoothly. It felt warm to the touch but never over-heated. I am operating it in a multi-monitor set-up, and the displays look brilliant. WiFi is fast, with no issues. The Bluetooth also works well.This is a good ultra-compact Mini PC just do not expect to run games or any resource-intensive applications.

Don’t go into getting this believing you will receive something that can preform at a level to support high end gaming, video editing and things of that nurture. The idea for this is to offer you a very small and compact machine that can allow you to do everyday tasks and multimedia playback, and only taking up the space the size of a wallet. To say this is tiny is not an exaggeration. It is very compact and the fact all this technology has beed squeezed in here is amazing.Despite its very compact design, its construction is rather well built. Its performance value is is great for things like browsing , streaming in 4K and low demanding game. I wanted something I could hook up to my projector and turn it into a multimedia paradise. Thanks to the integrated Graphics card I can get a 4K UHD output,This is fantastic for streaming in 4k.This has really changed how I use my projector. I don’t watch live tv anymore as the mini pc has access to everything a normal computer can. Even when it has been on all day it generates barely any heat and is almost silent.I got the 8GB ram option with only 128GB of storage as streaming and multimedia output for my projector was my only purpose for this. But quite frankly there is no need to up the storage anymore because if you keep the main eMMC hard rive clean, don’t download much to it ensuring that its not cluttered and showing it down, you have a few options to choose from in terms of external storage. You can plug in a micro SD card with a capacity of up to 1TB and an external hard-drive up to 4TB. I would highly recommend doing this as it will save you money but also maintain the speed efficiency of the mini pc. If start downloading a lot, you will see it slow down rather quickly.It has wifi but you can connect up an internet lan if you want faster speeds. I would highly recommend this for streaming, you won’t find yourself getting any buffering issues if you have a fast connection. This also has built in bluetooth so I actually purchase a bluetooth keyboard and mouse all built into a combo pad and it allows me to sit on my sofa and navigate through the Mini pc’s interface without getting up or closer to it. It’s a genius solution for people looking for a media central hub.My sound runs to my projector so I don’t need to plug anything there but you could always use the built in 3.5mm Audio jack or bluetooth connection to connect up to some speakers or surround sound. Wether you just need a very compact, on the move computer that you can take everywhere with you or you want something that is basic enough for everyday tasks and more, this is a really neat little option. The technology in this little iPhone size build is what you’d find in most entry to mid level laptops.Hope this review helps you
