I think this is the BEST one
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2020 9:35 am
I ordered this as a way to make a better smart TV. I've tried everything from fire stick and roku (both great, but have gotten very slow after a few months), to an android TV box (was decent but had some glitches that were annoying), and now I've been trying these mini PCs. The first one I got on Amazon was the HDMI stick style mini pc. It was, and still is, good. Only bad part was it seems to have spoiled me because now it has me wanting to do more than it is capable of. This seemed like a good upgrade and so far, I have not been disappointed
Pros:
¤ Easy setup: Kind of a no brainer, it's Windows
¤ Hardware: The cpu has right around a 3k passmark score making it perfect for everyday use. The atom cpu's in most of the cheaper end mini PC's just don't give the smooth use of windows that the celeron does. It can handle everyday tasks with no stuttering or issues, even handles some light multitasking
¤ IO: This thing has enough varied ports that the vast majority of users (including myself) will have no need for dongles or hubs
¤ It comes with an HDMI cord!!
Neutral:
¤ No USB-C: Not an issue for me but it's becoming more standard, would have been nice to see on this
Cons:
None so far
This little PC has been the best of the many options I've tried so far. I'm thinking this will probably be my last stop for these things but who knows. It's amazing the form factor they can put computers in these days. I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for something with a bit more power than your typical TV box.
