Nice, I still find it amazing how much power these mini pc's can pack and this one seems one of the better ones so far, the price is a bit much we are getting into the territory of being able to build yourself a HTPC , yea the HTPC is larger but would pack a bigger punch
@OfficialChaseBrogan11 ай бұрын
You are definitely right. In time I think prices will drop on mini PCs. These more powerful ones are newer but not long ago all mini PCs were expensive and now your more basic lower performance ones are around 150-225 give or take

Agreed. It does seem that prices do tend to come down though with more and more mini pcs coming into the market. A couple years ago they were all quite expensive and now at least the lower end ones have become more affordable. I think we will see that with the more expensive higher end ones in time.

Hi, Got one today but having some issues with the AX200 wifi card - tried everything so far - could be defective. Processor is a beast. Trying a factory reset now. Wifi signal strength is garbage. 2.4ghz works fine when next to the router. I purchased a wifi dongle. Everything else about the pc looks good. Ram gets hot under load but my benchmarks have all shown good results. I have the 7735hs model with 32gb ram (2x16gb), 1tb ssd. Crazy offer on Amazon, was £279.99.

I love, no LOVE the large booklet/manual. I am not a young boy any more, I can't stand tiny font on tiny pages. Plus I love computer manuals. :) Why are all the retro games footage stretched? I know some people don't mind, but I find it disgusting stretching 4:3 games to widescreen. Just me. Good review, the system looks good for what it has inside. The slightly larger size isn't really a problem as far as I am concerned, especially if it helps with the cooling. The overall looks is fine by me and I do like the lights. The price is nowhere to be seen Amazon or the official site. Not that I could afford it, just saying. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the support here. Stretched just for the sake of the video. Content here is 16:9 so I try to use all of the screen in videos. A lot more people get worked up and confused about the 4:3 being in videos so I generally will stretch purely for the sake of the content. I get the frustrations for purists like yourself. Have to remember we have a whole generation now that has no idea that 4:3 aspect ratio was ever a thing and they wonder what's wrong with the pc when they see something in 4:3. We are getting old I guess haha.

There's only 2 reviews 1 is 5 star and 1 is 1 star. It averages out to 3 star but I don't think there's enough reviews posted to accurately cover it. The bad review seems to be due to an issue the user had with usb ports being tight. Seems like a weird issue. I didn't experience that myself. They claim there's other units with the same layout for less but I don't know that to be true. Often times mini PCs can easily share the same layouts and shells but they differ heavily inside. I have 2 minis I'm reviewing now. One is a AceMagic and one is a KAMRUI. They are almost identical yet have different specs.
