I was looking for a second PC to run two twitch streams (DashDucks and OurChickenLife) to take the load off of my actual gaming laptop and possibly some light gaming. My initial reaction was this is surprisingly fast for a sub $125 mini PC. It is snappy and loads chrome and the two twitch streams just fine with each stream in a separate window (one on each monitor). I was super happy with finally having the ability to have a PC with dual monitors and at this price point is in incredible. Set up was easy and I was up and running in under 5 minutes. Boot time is under 20 seconds and once I configured it for not needing to login even faster than that. I initially installed Steam, Discord, Chrome, SpeedTest (from the Microsoft store), and an auto clicker mouse program. I ended up deleting Steam and Discord as the game I primarily play struggled even on very low graphics settings. The game in question is Farm Together 2 and would highly recommend if you like farming games. Anyways, it wasn't unbearable but there was noticeable lag when moving around in the game. Discord ran ultra smooth though and there wasn't any lag so would be great for using that on this PC. As for internet speeds and quality goes, I would very HIGHLY recommend using an ethernet cable if you can. My current internet speed is 1.0 GB up and down. Under WiFi, I got a 1/5th of that speed with speeds around 200 down and 150 up despite this PC being literally inches from the router. This is most likely a limit of the WiFi 5 used in this PC and not necessarily a defect. Once I installed a Cat 6 ethernet cable, I got around my full speed of 930 both up and down. While it was on WiFi, I didn't notice any lag when watching the twitch streams When installing windows updates though, definitely use an ethernet cable. As for noise level this thing is ultra quiet even under 100% CPU usage. Always was cool to the touch when I checked and no burning or any kind of smells like that since I have been using it. I keep it running 24/7 and as of the writing of this review it has been flawless. As for storage and RAM this seems to be good to go right out of the gate. You do have the option to upgrade if you wish, but for my needs the 8GB of RAM is just fine. It hits around 60% usage for RAM with running 2 chrome windows. And for storage with only chrome, speedtest, my mouse program, and edge which was preinstalled storage is very sufficient for me. And you can also upgrade the hard drive (SSD) to 2TB so if in the future I need more space or change how I use this PC I can. And honestly, that is a comforting thought knowing the option is available to me. If you are considering one of the larger storage models I would say go for it versus this 256GB version as it won't be an issue later on, but for me I got this version initially because of budget reasons and it would work for me and my needs. My game would probably run alot better if it had the 16GB of RAM but I am okay with just using it as a media consumption PC. Not having to worry about batteries and all that jazz was a huge selling point for me versus getting, say a Chromebook. I have this plugged into my battery backup in the event of a power failure which alleviates my worries a bit. My only real complaint with this PC is the placement of the power button. I did accidentally press it causing the PC to go to sleep when connecting my mouse and keyboard, but this can be changed in settings as to what the power button does in settings. I do wish it was in the front, but it isn't anything deal breaking. Overall, this is a great little PC for what I needed it for, which was to run 2 twitch streams via chrome. Your mileage may vary, but I feel confident recommending this PC for light to medium use. I don't do video editing or any intense operations like that so I can't comment on that. USB connections have been stable (no random disconnects) and the HDMI ports have both been running great. It runs Windows 11 just fine and aside from some user stumbles on figuring out where things are now and then (coming from Windows 10) it is just fine. I hope this review has helped you and have a blessed day <3

I really enjoy these little computers. Well designed, comes with everything you need. You can lay it on your desk or mount it to the wall. It does come with a wall mount. It has two HDMI ports so using dual monitors is very easy. It has several USB ports. RAM is very easy to add. Radiates heat well so it stays cool. Small footprint. I can have 15 tabs open and this will not slow down. The first time you turn it on it will walk you through the setup. Comes with all of the software you need (Microsoft). Don't hesitate to purchase this, I have three of them now.

This is a simple machine, is not comparable with my personal computers, but I need it to be used by my 90Y Dad, so the requirements and expectations for playing cards (Solitaire) were too low. However, when this small machine comes, EVERYTHING WORKS PRETTY FINE. - Windows 11 were too easy (I use my own Licence) and get the old solitaire games too. - WiFi links at once The price were accurate, - all test made respond over the expectation in SDD and memory - has enough capabilities of expansion (USB ports, HDMI, M2 SSD) At the end it's just PLUG & PLAY And voila... Enjoy your new MiniPC

I've been working with this computer for three weeks now, and so far it's been great. An excellent product, especially considering the low price. The 360-degree status indicator at the top of the device is a bit of a gimmick , but attractive and also useful. So 5 stars on the computer itself. Documentation & Support is a different story: Documentation first: It consists of three 4" x 5" pages of hard-to-read text (I needed a magnifier to read it) repeated in nine different languages that barely sufficed as a introduction. So 2.5 Stars on that. Support: I wanted to install Ubuntu Linux in a separate hard disk partition alongside the Windows 11 pro OS that is already installed on the computer to create a dual boot system. (I mostly run Linux, but occasionally I need to run Windows.) The manual is silent on how to do this, and I had forgotten on how I previously did this on other machines, so I emailed [email protected]; result: Nada. (However, I finally remembered the crucial step --See below.) 2 Stars. Placing greater emphasis on the five-star product itself, my overall rating is 4 stars Note: The key step in creating a dual boot system is to access the American Megatrends (AMI) 5.26 BIOS immediately at startup. (I did this by repeatedly pressing the Esc and delete keys -- One of them works.) Once the BIOS display appears, move to the Boot tab and change the boot device order to place "USB Boot Device" first before the hard disk containing windows. Then insert a thumbdrive containing the Ubuntu OS into a USB port, click "Save & Exit" in the BIOS, and keep going.

Runs fast and smooth. Great deal.

Bought for my dad to replace his old clunky pc, very quiet, has just enough ports for him, was very easy to set up and has been stable, does not hurt that now he has more space on his desk because of the small size of it.

After one year it took a crap. Just resets itself every couple of minutes. Did nothing different to my routine. Never dropped it, took very good care of this mini PC and it let me down big time. It's double the price what I paid last year. I tried everything to fix it. It's done for. Very disappointed Update. Seller has 0 communication when reaching out to them. No one picks up their phone and no one responds to emails. Amazon stepped up and covered the cost of the computer. Thank you Amazon for taking care of me. Shame on kamrui for not stepping up to the plate to even help with their warranty. Computer didn't make it a year. Buyer definitely beware!!! Kamrui it's a 2 year manufacturer warrant you need to honor it especially when your consumer is in the time frame. I take extra care of my stuff. Extremely disappointed and mad with your lack of communication and product. I will never buy one again and let everyone know that they should not buy it either. Thanks again Amazon for saving the day.
