I have purchased this mainly for use as a server in my media setup. I was looking at purchasing a NAS to replace two old NAS devices I have that are approaching 10 years old but still working. While looking I came across this and it was at least half of if not less of the price of one of the low entry level NAS I was looking at. This had much more memory than the NAS as well and would meet my requirements to run the server with my current NAS devices.I took my time looking at the PC looking at the specs of the device and doing a full compare. I have purchased this and all I can say is it is great, it has prolonged the life of two old NAS boxes that are like I said over 10 years old now and saved me a lot of time backup data and moving and transferring and purchasing new drives for a new NAS. It has a better spec than the NAS I was looking at and will be able to run the server that I require and still be able to preform more.The sale advert stated it would come with windows 10 installed, however, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it came with windows 11. The install of the system was a breeze and was set up in no time whatsoever. It boots really quickly and performs extremely well, it is very quiet also and I haven’t heard the fan at all.I contact the service team in relation to this as well as I was keen to have an install copy of other OS including the windows 10 version and others including Linux systems. They were really quick to reply and ones they confirmed my order sent me the files through a drop box link which was all done on the same day and was really fast. There customer service is extremely good and on par with the product. I will advise anybody considering purchasing one of these to do so you will not be disappointed with your purchase or the support available from the after sales team.As I have said very happy with this purchase and I can’t fault anything.

I bought the NiPoGi Mini PC 8GB DDR4/128GB M.2 SATA SSD, Ιntel Celeron J4125 Processor for a sole purpose - to run a headless self-hosted remote desktop software application.For this purpose it performs perfectly. The application makes low demands and this box doesn't even break into a sweat when in use. For my specific use there was no other cost-effective solution if I wanted to run Windows 11. I could've hosted the app on Ubuntu on an ancient low spec PC, but this device is so small, consumes little power and discrete.Setup was easy and fast too, the 128GB SSD is zippy and whilst small, is much more space than I need.Just an observation - the case looks like brushed aluminium with a copper vent/heatsink. It is actually plastic, looks good and feels robust.It is entirely silent in operation which would be ideal for TV streaming applications.Hopefully this will last many years as replacing a faulty motherboard would effectively mean a new unit. If it lasts the 12 month guarantee, then the total cost of ownership (for my use) is affordable and justified.I'm considering trying a higher spec device to see how it handles more demanding tasks, before making recommendations to friends and clients who have been impressed with what I've shown them.It could provide a cheap solution to other apps too, the 3CX session border controller springs to mind, which is my next upgrade task.

Cons: the supplied HDMI cable is not up to streaming video. Wasted two days trying to fix the issue within settings and playing about with drivers. Swapped the HDMI cable and issue sorted. Why supply such a thin poor quality cable?Secondly, the WiFi connects to router but always starts off by saying not connected to internet. This leads to having to disconnect and then reconnect. This was such a pain that I bought a USB WiFi dongle and that properly sorted the issue. But I wasn’t expecting the extra expense on a brand new unit.The pros. Setup was easy and smooth. Adding internal 2.5" HDD was a breeze. The unit is exceptionally light and small. Apart from the issues above it operates smoothly. I haven’t challenged it particularly using it mainly for streaming and viewing photos and videos from HDD/USB but it is responsive and has played everything I have thrown at it (once I swapped the HDMI cable). I have it going into my 65" Samsung QLED 4k TV and it looks great.Further Pro - customer service very responsive and helpful (note: they usually reply during the night). They offered and would have happily swapped my PC but once I had it set up with external WiFi adapter and different HDMI cable it worked a treat so I decided to stick with it.

The media could not be loaded. I wanted a mini pic to go in my bedroom to use as a media server and also to do some general work on. This is great because it’s such a small size yet powerful enough to do what I want.I have a Plex account and want this to run as my media server which this mini pic does with no trouble at all. It’s very quick to load everything and when connected via Ethernet cable the upload and download speed are excellent. I can also have this as a WiFi hotspot as I live in a 3 floor town house and my bedroom is on the top floor which is a WiFi dead spot, now I get perfect internet from the hotspot from this mini pic.It is a decent enough mini pic to play some light games like Roblox which I do every now and then.It’s great for watching movies and TV series on Netflix too as I have it connected to my 42” TV and it looks great.Overall it is a very good pc that’s is compact yet powerful and for the following reasons I am going to rate it 5 stars:Compact sizePowerful processorSilent runningGood connection options
