the overall performance is good. didn't run 3A game on this unit so not sure how fast it could go with gaming. the BT and WIFI connectivity is stable. and the device is quite, cool, small.occasionally I encounter issue with power management, if the device went into sleep, when waking up, several times the device took a real long time to get recovered, there were some occasion the device reboot instead of woke up, and few times the device took a long time to boot up from shutdown status.having said that, I never see device freeze or bluescreened while using it. It makes feel the hardware must be perfect compatible, the power mgnment is from motherboard, not sure its a flaw with that mini board.

Excellent mini computer. Does everything I need it to do such as web surfing, small business tasks etc.

I bought this specifically to run Ubuntu Linux (and the description says it will work). However since it comes with Windows installed, you must be able to boot from a USB key. I could not get it to do this and at first I could not get to the boot selection despite following the instructions to hit "escape" repeatedly. I finally found the trick. The USB keyboard must be plugged into the USB 2.0 plug on the back of the unit (the bottom USB plug). I think maybe otherwise the keyboard was not powered up. In any case, the USB key was already set to be first in the boot order, so I disabled the SSD boot. Then everything worked. After installing Ubuntu, I had to go back and re-enable to SSD boot. Now all is working well.

I am really enjoying this gaming computer that I bought for myself. Mind you I'm a 40-year-old gamer of at least 30 plus years involving PC gaming. I'm impressed with the power that comes with this little machine, and if you're looking at something let's save this space get still provides the power to play almost any game on the market that's not out here burning up high-end graphics cards, then I would fully recommend this mini gaming PC. The only thing that you have to do is go over your window settings like you would do when you buy any other PC, but you have to manually download and install the AMD adrenaline software that maintains your driver updates for your graphics and your CPU chipset. That's easy to do if you go to the AMD website and search for driver updates. I haven't had any issues, and I am impressed with the number of ports that are available in this tiny machine as well. Here comes with the DVR port as well as an HDMI port so that you can dual monitor with two wired monitors.

The Good:- Nice looking Mini-Computer and the price was right with a $100 off coupon.- Extra HDMI and no Bloatware- Windows 11 Pro Install was only 20 mins including the Windows updates.- Boot-up time to desktop about 5 seconds faster than my Windows 10 Intel NUC- Checking License and activation was no issue (used slmgr /dli at command prompt)Not So Good:- No Phone Support just email over in China- The manual under Disassemble the computer section said to remove 4-screwsat bottom to get to ssd and ram but once you remove the bottom section thereis another plate with no instructions on how to remove to do a upgrade.- Used the Event Viewer program to check for any errors, only installed this on the13th 3 days ago and noticed errors going all the way back to March over 4 months ago!- So these must be pre-owned/refurbished machines, Tried the Email for support onthis issue but not holding my breath on hearing back.- Understand now why they were giving a $100 off to move these.So long and short I still have over 3 more weeks to return this, may just doa factory re-install and check the Event Viewer again, and upgrading then decide..

I got one for someone at work to replace a older big tower computer and liked it enough that I bought one for myself.You can run geekbench 6 yourself to see how these benchmarks will compare. Against the R5 5700X the single core speed is a bit faster while the multicore speed was 10% quicker all while taking very little power.

I am fairly familiar with this type of computer miniature size running Ubuntu. Very easy installation it fits my needs perfectly. I don't know that it's the fastest computer out there but, frankly, all I'm doing is researching data in my Ham Shack.

I had high hopes for this mini PC based on the impressive specs, but unfortunately, it is one of the worst-designed computers I’ve ever used. The cooling system is completely inadequate for the Ryzen CPU, leading to instant thermal throttling, even during startup.Performance is so severely impacted that the system becomes unusable, freezing or shutting down under even the lightest workloads. No amount of tweaking settings or external cooling solutions could fix the issue.If you’re considering this mini PC, save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere. A good CPU is worthless if the system can't keep it cool. Avoid this at all costs.
