Great little mini PC
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2020
Purchase link- www.amazon.com/ACEPC-i5-7200U-Upgradabl ... B08H8Q54T9
Works exactly as you'd want it to. Reasonably fast, the 8GB of memory helps. It's a Celeron so you're not buying this to play Half Life Alyx, but it works great for the job you're getting it for - a mini reasonably speedy desktop or server. For that, it's great.
Yes, it's Win Pro 10 (NOT Home). Yes, it arrives activated. First fresh boot gives me 96.7GB free (see photo). After Windows updates, it loses about 5-10GB (after you delete the updates folder post-updating). Tip: Don't use Windows Update to get it current, use the Windows 10 Update Assistant and it'll jump you to the most current version without incremental updates. This will save you a few hours.
It's snappy enough, boots fast, and has a pretty dizzying array of BIOS options. For a light desktop or for a server (works for Plex without transcoding), it's a great little box. Pumps out a 4k desktop without a stutter.
