Usually have good luck with these
This is a two part review, one for the computer and one for the refurbisher/seller.The computer: these mini PC’s are great little machines. Home theater PC? Check. Light duty general use computer? Check. Web browsing, email, word processing? Check. Inexpensive and low power draw home lab computer? Check. Windows installed? Check. Reload with Linux (I have several running Ubuntu and/or ProxMox)? Check. I 100% recommend these computers for cheap, quiet, generally reliable, and power efficient light duty computing tasks.The refurbisher/seller: not a very good experience with this purchase. In just over a month the computer went from a barely audible ticking fan to a quite noisy fan. I contacted the seller and they stated the fan is not replaceable. They required a video of the issue to even proceed. The Amazon contact form would not allow me to attach a video to the communication so I had to spend a bit more money on a replacement cooling fan that *should* have been taken care of by the seller.Long story short: these are great little computers but the refurbisher/seller can make or break the experience.

Great form factor. Poor performance. Bad quality control. SSDs aren’t all created equal.
First off, I loved the size of the computer. I have ordered 3 total, so I have some experience with the variety of product that are shipping.TL;DR version – all SSDs aren’t created equal. They installed a 2.5″ SSD made by King Fast. It is beyond slow. While it may be an upgrade for some, this hinders the performance of this computer. 1 out of 3 power adapters were defective.Long version:Power supply variations and quality control: First one I got came with a power adapter, + an adapter to make it fit the computer. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t even power on. I tested with another HP power adapter and it worked, fine. So it was either the power adapter or the converter plug that was included. The next two were fine, although they range in size considerably. At least the 2nd and 3rd ones worked. So, while the computer technically worked, it didn’t work out of the box with what was included 1 out of 3 times for me.Next point: the included “SSD” drive is a 2.5″ SSD made by King Fast. It’s very VERY slow. Not as slow as a traditional hard drive, but it is inconsistent in its performance and hugely slower than other quality SSDs. I generally use Samsung SSDs and they are worth the price premium, to me. The King Fast is the 2.5″ SATA variety. This computer supports M.2, so that’s the option. Comparable size M.2 vs SATA are currently cheaper, so it’s a easy decision. If you’re expecting this to be a decent computer, spend a bit more and upgrade the junk drive they included.wifi: I had issues with the cheap wifi USB dongle included. It doesn’t have built in wifi, so they throw in a usb wifi adapter. If you do use this, do yourself a favor and actually go download the driver instead of using the built in M$ one. That seemed to work more consistently for me. Regardless, I tossed it and ordered a slightly better wifi dongle for it since they were going into an office and I didn’t want to deal with random disconnects.Lastly, this is more of an annoyance, but the keyboard included is a non standard layout and both the keyboard and mouse is complete junk. But, that’s typical on these refurbs, so I always order a Logitech wireless KB/Mouse bundle by default.This computer COULD be pretty decent, but they killed the performance with the cheap SSD included. The power adapter mess was a bit of a joke, but after ordering 3, I ended up with 2 working ones. I didn’t benchmark the memory, but that’s probably fine. As shipped, this may be a nice upgrade for you, but it really fell short for me. The price point (low $200s) is attractive, but with a few extra, this performs quite well.

So far so good! Space saver!
Received my item with keyboard but did not receive mouse. I wasn’t worried about the mouse since I use a wireless keyboard and mouse anyway. I had to buy display port to HDMI wires for hookup of monitors but so far it’s working great. I can tell the difference from my laptop and it’s so small… Space saver. I’m using it to work from home. Meet my job specifications and requirements. I will be investing in another one for daughter.

Good Value
Item arrived quickly. Wasn’t packed very well by amazon, but that seems typical lately.Overall, machine is in good shape. Specs as advertised for the most part.I was lucky with mine, got a name-brand SSD.Couple things to note: description states VGA port, you can see it in pics, mine did not have VGA but in that spot had another displayPort. I’m OK with that but did have to purchase a displayPort adapterBIOS up-to-date, no bloatware to speak of (trial versions of office 365)Only con for me is that there is a giant sticker on top of the PC that shows build/serial/PO. This sticker takes up a large portion of the top. looks horrible. Haven’t tried to remove it yet.I can’t say how it would be for gaming or anything like that as I don’t game. This is likely to wind up with Ableton Live on it to replace a very old and tired Asus. Only thing I’ll likely do is bump up to 32gig of ramfor the price, it’s a good deal

Ya había comprado un equipo, y funciona de maravilla, compré otro y no encendió, aun así le doy el 💯 %.

Muy buena computadora, muy rápida, silenciosa y eficiente, trae de regalo un teclado y un ratón, el ratón no sirvió pero en lo demás la verdad muy buena compra 👍🏽
