Surprisingly effective box.Pros:- Comes with Windows 11 Professional preinstalled and activated- 2x Realtek GbE interfaces + WiFi and BlueTooth provide ample connectivity options- 500GB SSD is SATA. There is a spare NVMe slot which will accept NVMe PCIe 2280 drives- 16GB RAM is generous and enough for Windows 11 and other stuff (Proxmox for example with a few VMs / LXC)- Power supply is built-in, no external brick. Fitted with an IEC C8 inlet to take a normal 2-pin "shaver" lead. Multi-voltage so can be used anywhere in the world (100-240V AC).- Value for money. I bought this as it was on special offer. £149 inc VAT for this is very good value, especially with the included Windows 11 Pro licence.Cons:- The Gigabit Ethernet cards are Realtek, not Intel! Not an issue at all with Windows 11 which has drivers, but can be an issue if you want to use this for esoteric uses / operating systems and had hopes of Intel NICs.- Power supply is built-in. Can be viewed as a con. If ever there's a problem with it, I don't think it's a user replaceable part.Came with Windows 11 Professional which was a bonus.I had purchased this with the intention of running Proxmox on it, and then pfSense as a virtual machine. With the two GbE ports, this seems to work well. I was a little disappointed that the cards are Realtek and not Intel - this isn't mentioned anywhere and all the branding on everything else is Intel! This is also often an issue with pfSense as their driver support on a BSD-based OS for Realtek isn't as good as Intel. However, having it virtualised and then configuring the NICs as paravirtualised adaptors seems to work OK.The 500GB SSD and 16GB RAM mean this is OK to run a few machines in addition to pfSense (Home Assistant is a prime candidate).Other point to note: the NVMe port the 500GB SSD installed is just SSD. It doesn't support PCIe NVMe devices.The second spare port does however so I have fitted a 2280 2TB NVMe PCIe 3.0 drive and it's detected and operates fine. Photo shows supplied drive in the middle, added drive (blue/purple colour) on the left.Mine is now set up as a dual boot: the onboard 500GB SSD runs the installed version of Windows 11 Pro. The additional 2TB NVMe SSD has Proxmox and runs that, pfSense and other containers.

I bought this to test/play with, pretty much a replacement for a Raspberry Pi 4b.It's got a built-in PSU, dual 1Gb Ethernet and both M.2 SATA and M.2 NVME.I run Debian 12 headless, with CasaOS over the top.I wasn't expecting much from this unit, I'm comparison to the Minis forum S100; but I was pleasantly surprised!As a headless Linux server, this is absolutely superb!Very impressed with the BIOS setup, very customisable.Debian driver support has always been a little on the back foot, meaning that the latest and great hardware isn't always supported; but again I surprised to see that all the hardware and power modes (from the BIOS/chipset) are fully supported.I was able to easily setup a bond between the two onboard NICs, and managed to saturate both ports in testing. I was able to get far better sustained throughput using this than the S100 with it's single 2.5Gb/s port.Idle power draw is very low, better than my Asustor NAS (running NVME and SATA SSDs).This unit would be great for a x3 node Proxmox cluster!Some people will complain that 1Gb/s Ethernet isn't fast enough, however, decent 2.5Gb/s USB 3 Ethernet adapters work will and this unit has enough lane distribution to saturate the ports!Definitely worth the money!

Haven't used them yet. Getting used to it. Seems to be fine but printer is rather slow. Finding the fact that it is so mini a little scary!

Great little computer. Comes pre-loaded with Windows 11. I used this to mount to the back of a TV to provide a windows experience on it which it did very well. Connected a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse and you have a windows PC on the big screen TV. Connected to wireless easily and also worked well with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse if you need extra range. Fixed it to the back of the TV with some strong velcro and a short HDMI cable. Nice and small and doesnt take up much space and is virtually silent when running. Has loads of USB ports for connectivity although I only used 1 but you could put a webcam or other device on it as well to enhance your experience. Perfectly fast for browsing, emails, prime video, netflix etc. Would def recommend for that sort of thing or even as a basic home PC as the ram and drive space are quite reasonable.

The media could not be loaded. Awful. Don't waste your money. I didn't work, I posted it to China at my own expense, they did a CMOS reset (BIOS reset), posted it back and it still doesn't work. Their support department don't have a clue what they are doing. I've been an IT professional for over 30 years, so I do know what I'm doing. The warranty is useless, it's just cost me more money (in postage) and I still don't have a working system. Screen goes dead after a couple of seconds of being on (No video output). I've reinstalled Windows numerous times, so it's not that. I installed Linux, same problem. Tried different monitors, same problem. Video comes back after power-cycling it, but only for a few seconds. See video
