Windows 11 Mini PC on a Budget? Morefine M6 is Ultra-thin | REVIEW

[@cryzz0n]

I really love these mini PCs. They are affordable, don't use much power, and are fast enough for normal use. Honestly....good enough for anyone other than gamers or those who do video production.

[@TechMishka]

👍

[@bartosztomasz]

How about plugging it to an external GPU? Can be done?

[@TanKianW79]

I had a mini cube, with a smaller foot print, running on the same CPU. Use it for running my x86 home assistant + Z-wave & ZigBee dongles. Sufficient horse power to run multiple integrations and much more powerful than a RaspPi CM4. Incredibly small and tucked nicely in my network cabinet.

[@TechMishka]

Thanks for sharing this, Tan Wei.

[@sk22ng]

Am definitely interested in replacing my ancient desktop with this. The desktop is mainly used as a main storage hub for my wife's and my laptops while using the laptops for backing up the main hub for redundancy. While it spends most of its life keeping the printers company in an unused room it is occasionally used to pull files for printing. I'm going to place an order and get in line for the eventual deliveries tomorrow.

[@TechMishka]

SOunds like a good plan - I believe this miniPC will come as a pretty good enhancement.

[@revolverguy]

Using SSD for long term storage is a bad idea. SSD needs to be powered on every 6 months or so or the electrons in the chips start to fade and the data gets lost. An SSD physically holds electrons in certain positions that represent a 1 or 0 in the code. When the chip isn't powered for a long time, your data will get corrupted. I'd use a good HDD for long term, or back up to DVD-ROM or blu-ray

[@sk22ng]

@@revolverguy All my data is ultimately backed up on two redundant large capacity hard drives and then disconnected from the system. This is to thwart ransomware attacks. One is stored in a fire safe and the other is in a convenient location for immediate access. I could rebuild the operating system and programs from scratch minus viruses inside of two days using a fresh hard drive. Never reformat a hard drive that has important data on it regardless of the reason. Instead put it away and purchase a new one to start over with. The data can usually still be read from the old hard drive using another computer. I have a box containing all the working hard drives from the past 25 years and all my data is still intact because of this.

Devices like this are great as a "hotel room" computer. rather than bring along your laptop, you can stash this small device in your carry bag and power it with the same (beefy) charger you'd use for your phone. Then just stash a keyboard/mouse in your suitcase, and you're good to go using the LCD TV in your hotel room.

It's a great proposition for a home or office pc that doesn't need requiring heavy computing. Thank you for showing it to us

I have just bought the M6 with 16Gbyes RAM and I am amazed so far with its performance. It is so amazing that I have not yet got full confidence in it because it is so tiny compared to my other desktop computers; it is fast; has good graphics; plays KZbin videos beautifully. I've just got to get my head around the fact that this tiny thing works. It is mentioned in this video the fan is a little noisy and in my instance, I have not experienced this, mine is whisper quiet. I have plugged in a USB hub into one of the USB ports on the M6 which gives me 6 extra USB ports to work with. So far it has done everything I need to do; play music and create MP4 videos etc.I don't play games so that is not an issue for me so I cannot comment on its ability to play games. Someone asked about the temperature of the little unit and I run my computer several hours each day and the M6 runs very cool to the touch, I have not got a temp software installed so can't quote the actual temperature.

This would be a great option if you travel/ backpacking a lot. Don't have the room (space/weight) to carry an extra laptop. And you almost always have a TV on a cheap hotel room. Put a bluetooth keyboard/mouse on your smartphone and you actually have a PC that fits in your pocket without carrying an extra charger. Great to arange things on the run, uploading media, making backups of your camera's or even use it to play your own music/ movies. I want one! :)

I would like it in conjunction with my beamer/projector to watch movies. But on the other hand, I'm still using an old laptop with a defect screen that does the same job. If one day that laptop will stop working, I might consider buying such a box.

[@TechMishka]

Good plan! As long as the laptop is working well - keep it.

[@donnyj53]

One thing I can add is that during bootup press F7 to get the boot menu. I have tried this and it does work. This way if you need to reinstall windows from a flash or DVD it is now possible. There is a place to install a second SSD drive but I can't get it to work. I also don't have a screw to hold it down.

Very useful tips and tricks! Did you try asking Morefine's support about the SSD issue?

No dual channel RAM, which is a no no for a lower end Intel box, where performance will suffer because if it, which is a shame as the I/O and storage expansion options look good and comms are great. But like so many lower end Intel/X96 boxes, still way too expensive for what it is. And still no hardware AV1 video support from Intel, which is criminal in 2022 and soon to be the de facto video standard. Are you sure abut the ability to change the TDP? The review was way to sparse too in terms of giving any really useful information to prospective purchasers.

Playback will be fine. But you will hear the fan, and probably the HDD movements too.

[@jamesslick4790]

This seems to be one of the BEST use cases for this type of box! 1080 should be NO problem (Can't say much about 4K as I lack any 4K TVs, LOL. But almost any recent PC should do 4K video playback,) I use machines with much less "horsepower" than this to watch 1080 movies on my TVs and projector all the time! I use my "real" (big) desktop for editing video, but I'd imagine that something like NCH Video Pad would be "cake" for this. If your external HDD is fairly modern, this seems to be a fine "movie box". Normal video playback is nowhere near as demanding as gaming at the same resolution/frame rate.

@@TechMishka .. Thanks for some info . When you say ,,, You always can install Windows yourself ,,,,, Is that RE - Installing it using a / the product key that came WITH the unit ? ,,,,, Or Do you have to wipe clean the unit , and install another purchased version of Windows ? . Thanks .

[@GamesMugen]

Thank God they release this days a smaller pc than a bioger useless pc. When it break's it's hard to fix because of lots of capacitor or parts.

[@TechMishka]

Yup - almost unfixable.

When I first hear his voice/accent in intro, i thought for a moment Mat@Carwow is doing IT review.

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I checked online and this Morefine PC does not appear to be available in the UK.

[@TechMishka]

I believe they will start selling it via their official website.

[@Naousaios26]

Would I be able to hook it up to my screen via USB c and power it through it also?

[@TechMishka]

I doubt - the input requires 12V, so it must be a good adapter.

[@Naousaios26]

@@TechMishka The display can provide up to 60watts.

Excellent video. :) I don't think I'd be a buyer at $300. I would rather get a used laptop off of eBay and spend less money on it, if I needed to run Windows. You could even hack a Chromebox to put Windows on it. I just don't see the value here.

[@TechMishka]

Good points that you note - there are different kinds of priority for everyone.

[@Unshou]

Very cool. The PC itself might be portable but if they could only make a 28" monitor fit in my pocket too then I'd be well on my way 😉

[@TechMishka]

Something we can roll and put in the backpack! My dream too!

[@darksiderrdvsn6936]

Projector maybe?

Xreal air ?

Can you tell me if the Celeron CPU is able to play Netflix 4K video over the browser?

[@TechMishka]

Yes, it works alright. Often - if the CPU is overloaded, it is because it may not support the hardware codec that a service uses.

[@myusrn]

q1. How come device makers like this wouldn't make the usb-c port able to support pd [ power delivery ] as well so that you attached this to back of modern thunderbolt port enabled monitor and with single usb-c cable serve power to device, video output to display, and establish connection to usb hub built into monitor? q2. Can the vesa mount be used when the monitors stand that it ships with is already using up that space, e.g. as in the case of all dell + lenovo + lenovo monitors? q3. Will you be doing a comparison of this with the gmktec nucbox5 powered by same celeron n5105 apu?

[@TechMishka]

Q1. Agreed... Q2. you may need to use extra planks or find another creative way to connet Q3. I will think about it! THanks for the suggestion.

[@RadioGuy-wt1vr]

Wonder how Linux Mint would run on this little jewel 🤔

[@TechMishka]

Good point! Hopefulyl someone will be able to step in and help.

[@jamesbaskerville9800]

I really like the way it can be charged from a powerful but standard charger. I wonder what it's like for emulating old systems which would be my main usage? I have a very cheap ($25) Android box that just about runs PS1 games. Surely this can do better?

[@bulletpunch9317]

Your phone could prolly do ps2

[@TechMishka]

👍

[@tarekabulleef8304]

My laptop I can't use it because the screen Which goes up and down broke down so anything without built in screen is better than my ordeal so yes I prefer the new m6

[@TechMishka]

Oh, sorry to hear about the problem with your laptop! Had a similar issue with mine a few years ago.

[@cmdesign01]

What video recording software are you using ?

[@TechMishka]

OBS studio - most of the time.

[@arcadealchemist]

i just want a 2nd PC for streaming that isn't power hungry like i might look at 2nd hand laptops but still i hate laptops cos they break so eazy

[@TechMishka]

This one can break too. But definitely not as easy as a laptop.

[@ranjitthind440]

we should make modular laptops with this mini pc?

[@TechMishka]

We should indeed!

[@scoty_does]

I need this with two ethernet ports for a firewall build!

[@TechMishka]

Maybe you can get a USB to RJ-45 connector.

[@scoty_does]

@@TechMishka Is that reliable enough for firewall's internal NIC?
