I purchased this after doing extensive research on updating my outdated gaming rig. Prices have skyrocketed at this time, and this mini pc was budget friendly. High end cpu, decent amount of ram, windows 11, small form factor.... and with some modifications, e-gpu capable. After purchasing an oculink internal card, cable, and gpu/power supply mount.... i was able to connect an outdated rtx 2070 super (more than capable) video card to this mini PC. Gaming on a budget. I still don't have ALL the bugs worked out, but after turning off bitlocker, it was much easier to troubleshoot issues. Doubled fps on mid range games, smoothed out stutter, and basically made my face games more enjoyable with most of the eye candy. I love this little machine. Hopefully it lasts... temps get a little high, but nothing that will fry it. Just trying to prove a point, you don't have to spend thousands if you aren't afraid of a little work. Keep it up Bosgame, I'm a fan! And if you're looking for testers, give me a shout! Read more

I bought this for a very specific use case: Set up a home server for self hosting apps and docker containers. So far I am not disappointed. I also purchased a Logitech K100 keyboard it so it can be headless and I don’t have to swap peripherals if I had to go hands on with it. Currently, it sits under my router on my shelf and it’s quiet! First thing I did was turn it on, plug in an monitor, and setup Windows. Then I wiped it and installed my favorite Linux distro. And by favorite, I’m no expert, but I have a VPS for web development that runs AlmaLinux so why not. In the last two weeks this little box has been solid! Right now it’s running about 20 docker containers that I work with daily as well as my business partners can log into some of them from outside my home network. This device has plenty of ways to add storage via USB, runs quiet, has been reliable so far, and I don’t think I’ve seen my server dashboard has shown over 30% of the hardware resources in use. This is a great value for the specs! TL;DR: Need a Linux home server? Buy this. I can’t tell you how Windows 11 runs on it besides a slow first setup, but my home server is solid! Read more

Until recently I didn't realize mini-pcs were a thing. However, they make perfect sense! In replacing my old Windows 10 desktop, I knew that I didn't want a laptop because I have two large monitors and don't travel with my personal computer. Desktops are still big and clunky with unexpectedly high costs. The mini PC fits perfectly into the middle. It has the power and hardware specs of a desktop without the higher price tag. This particular one which I purchased has been flawless so far. Out of the box it goes through the Windows 11 setup process and matches the specs that I ordered. It is fast, quiet and everything I needed with an upgraded computer. Importantly, it is also everything I did NOT need. This does not ship with a keyboard or mouse, which is perfect because I did not want either. My biggest concern purchasing was the video connections. All the mini pcs advertise the same 3 monitor connectivity, but in order to support that you need 3 different cables. My two monitors were both using display port (DP), and now I'm using one DP and one HDMI. About half the time the HDMI connected monitor will work in the monitor's auto detect setting and switch seamlessly between this mini pc and my work laptop which is still using two DP. The other half of the time I have to go into the monitor settings and switch the input to HDMI. Thankfully, I only switch between computers about once per day, but if it becomes too annoying I will get an HDMI to DP adapter. One knock against the system is that I originally tried to put a SDD hard drive from my previous computer into this mini pc, but I could not remove the plastic fan component to get at the slot. The booklet indicates removal is possible and the slot exists, but I didn't want to break it so I stopped trying. Instead I used Windows Disk Management to create a partition and manually copied the files I needed. If you're looking to upgrade and have the same type of setup as me, you won't be disappointed with this powerful little machine. Read more

Very nice little PC, no complaints after 3 weeks of use. This is not as extensive a review as some others have done but for me, an average user, it seems to do the job very nicely. I had to add a USB hub to it because of insufficient USB ports but that was a minor issue. I don't hear the fan noise at all so that is good. Setup took a bit, but no surprises. Its not blazing fast, but much faster than my old i5 PC. Overall, I recommend. Read more
