MINIX - NEO Z150-Aero PRD Mini PC with 16GB DDR4/512GB M.2 PCle 3.0 x 1 NVMe SSD, Powered by Intel Twin Lake N150 Processor - Black
Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Processor N150 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 512 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Small but powerful, very good quality
The build quality feel strong, not cheap plastic. When I take it out of box, it look small but very nice design. I use it for work and also little bit video, internet, it works well and no problem. It start fast, Windows run smooth, no noise from fan that bother me. I connect two screens, it can handle easy. I like also that it not hot when working long time. For me it is very good value, small size but do many things like big computer.

solid choice with good value.
The Mini PC is compact, well-built, and very practical. It runs smoothly for daily tasks like browsing, office work, and video playback, thanks to the 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD. I really like the wide range of ports, dual Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6, and the ability to connect multiple displays. The fan does make a little noise under heavy load, but nothing too distracting. The graphics performance is basic, so it’s not for heavy gaming, but as a small and reliable PC for work and home use, it’s a solid choice with good value.

Great computer for my folks
Mom and dad needed a new computer that was Windows 11 ready and I've always wanted to try a mini pc. This was a good price and so far as been excellent. Initial setup was a little slow with update downloads, but it's been running excellently since that. Very pleased with the purchase!
