This mini PC comes in fairly minimalist packaging—you get a power adapter, a VESA mounting bracket, and an HDMI cable that (surprisingly) supports the full 95Hz refresh rate of my Pixio display.
Oddly enough, there are stickers on the PC that recommend going through setup before connecting it to the internet to speed up the process. Normally, I connect the PC to WiFi or Ethernet during the setup, but this time I followed the advice on the stickers, and the setup was very quick. I was up and running at the desktop before I knew it.
Pros:
- for the low price, this machine does anything you need for basic daily computing, including: 4K HDR YouTube, high refresh rate displays (60Hz is archaic even for basic day-to-day usage), and of course your basic suite of applications—messaging, email, office applications, browsing the web.
- I was even able to fire up Half-Life 2 (yes I know it's not a demanding game in 2024, but this is a Celeron we're talking about) and play around 30-40fps at the default video settings. Tweaking it further can achieve 60fps, but impressive for the money, nonetheless.
- It's tiny! It fits anywhere on your desk—or under it
- It has a detachable base with an upgradeable M.2 SSD!
- Decent I/O, including 4 USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, Ethernet, and a headphone jack
- Built-in Bluetooth, so wireless peripherals can make for a super clean desk setup
Cons:
- Obviously since it's so tiny, the fan noise gets pretty loud under load. Nothing crazy, but something to consider if you're not wearing headphones
- Not a gaming machine! Celeron integrated graphics might run Half-Life 2, but basically any smart toaster can as well. Do not expect this to play any AAA titles.
- Yes, you can probably get a more powerful used PC for similar money with an actual graphics card, but in the landscape of brand new cheap PCs, this is not bad
Overall, it's a decent little PC, and while it comes with Windows 11 (suitable for most people), it can probably be even better with a lightweight Linux-based system, if not a little server! Small form factor, decent I/O, quick setup, Windows 11 support, and even dual display output makes it a bargain.
