So, very good deal, currently self hosting a bunch of things with these, easy to upgrade, inside is clean, hard to open, I ordered 2 and one was Dell but had the same specs, asked for at least have a refund, didn’t wanna return it because I already set it up, so guess it was fine, not a bad deal, may upgrade review seeing how long it last, I installed proxmox on it, works fine, got Pterodactyl installed on Proxmox, a discord bot on that, and more in the future, also hosting a website and hiding my ip with cloudflare tunnels, seller refused to give half refund and said I had to contact Amazon, and I knew Amazon would make me return it, which I didn’t wanna do, so guess I’m stuck with it.

What a bargain! I needed a small computer to run my living room media center and it does the job unbelievably. With the 16GB of ram it ran great, but it really cooks now that I’ve upgraded to 32GB. I’m thinking about one or two more for some projects, a virtual pinball table and a MP3 Jukebox…amazing little machine. No bloatware, no crap, just the operating system like new. Also like that it has Windows 10 still. Streams video and audio like a champ. Now don’t expect you can upgrade this like a tower desktop, but if you need a small discreet machine that works right out of the box then this will work for you. Mouse and keyboard were not needed but a welcome addition. Recommend this 100%

If your looking at reviews to see if you should buy it this is the one this little machine is great for anything I use it for takin and it’s quiet and gets 60fps and for office work it’s speedy and reliable it doesn’t have built in wifi or Bluetooth but it comes with a wifi dongle

The PC arrived 2 days late. That was already a bad impression. Then it arrived and I was happy about the condition, it looks almost new. However it came with a Bluetooth adapter instead of WiFi. Also a DP to VGA was included instead of DP to HDMI. Which is useless because it already has a VGA port so why include another? For the price I won’t complain too much because i5 with 16GB RAM and 256 SSD at under $100 is great.

I bought this to replace my desktop workhorse pc. Upon receiving this little box, I let Windows install and after about a week, I scrapped the OS and installed Linux Mint. Great little box!

Is exactly as advertised.

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.

I ordered what was advertised as the 35w i5-6500t model but was pleasantly surprised with the full 65w non T variant. I upgraded the nvme m.2 SSD to my own bigger 500gb one, then added a giant 2tb 2.5 inch ssd in the available slot. I plan to watch ebay for an i7-7700 processor as a future CPU upgrade.
I installed Linux Mint on it as it runs super well and I’m also a huge nerd. Although, I was able to boot into the previous windows installation I had on my SSD and it ran just fine.
The PC is great as is – but its got a great platform for upgradeability.
came with onboard wifi/bluetooth.

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.

Bought this and it came with a gaming keyboard lol, mouse and wifi usb adapter. Set up was quick and it powered on fast. Came Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. But I needed for my kids so I had to flashed it with Chrome OS Flex as I don’t want an OS with app store, and web store is limited (good for my purpose). This thing is super fast, super quiet and zero heat, 16 gig ram for an OS Flex is a overkill. Happy customer. Highly recommended
