- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Celeron (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: 256 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 8 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.)

Excellent Mini PC for Work, Streaming, and Network
This little computer far exceeded my expectations. A great mini PC for work, streaming, and networking It exceeded my expectations in every way. 8GB of RAM paired with a fast 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD keeps everything running smoothly. Booting is super fast, apps load quickly, and multitasking is seamless. It's perfect for daily office work, web browsing, and even light creative work. The aluminum casing gives it a high-end look and feel. It also helps dissipate heat - the device stays cool and quiet even under load. Connectivity (Wi-Fi 6 / Dual 2.5G Ethernet / USB-C) This device is a leader in connectivity. Wi-Fi 6 technology ensures fast and stable wireless network speeds, and the dual 2.5Gb Ethernet ports are great for users doing server configuration, network experiments, or media streaming. The USB-C port is a modern highlight. Display Support (Triple Display / 4K Output) I had no trouble connecting three monitors - two via HDMI and one via USB-C. They all ran at crisp 4K resolution with no lags or stutters. Perfect for multitasking and video playback. The device is easy to set up, quite powerful for its size, and small enough to tuck away in a corner or under a desk. ✅ Pros: • Fast SSD and decent RAM • Nice and sturdy aluminum body • Excellent network connectivity options • Support for three 4K displays • Good for both home and office use Cons: • No discrete graphics (not suitable for gaming or heavy graphics work) Bottom Line: This is a well-designed, powerful mini PC with features usually found on more expensive machines. Perfect for a home office, home theater PC, mini server, or remote workstation solution. Highly recommended!

Gets extremely Hot
I would not recommend this Minix Mini computer. This product is not good for virtual calls or a lot of use. It gets extremely hot. Not worth the money.
