KAMRUI AK1PLUS Mini PC 16GB RAM, Intel 12th Alder Lake N95(up to 3.4 GHz) Mini Computer Windows 11 Pro, Small Desktop Computers Tower Support 4K UHD/HDMI 2.0/LAN/Dual-Band WiFi for Office Home Server

This KAMRUI Min I PC, 16GB DDR4 512GB SSD w/ Windows 11 Pro, is an amazing PC in a tiny package. Its small size clears up some serious room on my desk. I have it mounted to the wall using the included mounting bracket. The setup was about what I expected it would be. I had my existing PC fully backed up to my external hard drive and used it for the transfer. When starting up the KAMRUI for the first time, it guides you seamlessly through the setup procedure.

This has replaced my laptop for traveling purposes. Just plug it into an HDMI monitor (like the TV in a hotel room for instance) add a mouse and a keyboard and you have a fully functioning pc. I was able to stream videos, browse the internet, edit graphics and even play some video games. (It doesnt have a fancy graphics card so it might lag a little on more compute hungry games) Its small enough to mount behind a TV to make it smarter!

This compact computer is power packed and ready to go, it’s extremely quiet and out the way . Super Small but very present to perform all my daily task , live streaming, recording content and much more . It was very easy to assemble . I love it !!!

Pros:

I have a another Kamarui mini-pc thats similar to this model, but Celeron was inside of it and it had less ram, but this Alder Lake runs similarly with similar performance. I am not knocking this newer model and especially for the price, it is worth your money if you need an expensive but better than expected results for your dime. It has enough muscle to do all basic things one would expect for a home or small business computer and some light to medium level games. It`s pretty much entry level and suitable for most needs without the need to sacrifice a lot of money. There are plenty of inputs, 4 x USB and dual screen output HDMI ports all easily accessible because of the mini form factor design. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as expected, as well as an ethernet port for hardwired connection. The look of the box is sleek with a gaming console look about it and it has an indicator light that shows by color what state the PC is in.

Ive always wanted to try a mini PC and when I saw this, I had to try it out. I have to say that this actually exceeded my expectations. I had an older pc that died and just used my wireless keyboard/mouse combo and monitor. This pc works great and was easy to set up. Awesome!

I switched from PC to Mac about 10 years ago. I still have a few legacy programs that I find useful from the Windows XP and Windows 7 era. I used to keep a Windows 7 virtual machine on my Mac but I have recently switched to the Apple Studio with Apple silicon and with that, only Windows 11 is available in Parallels. I decided that I could order this computer and install my old windows virtual machines on it. Then I can access it from my Mac using Microsoft Remote Desktop. The small form factor and very low power draw along with very low cost makes this a reasonable solution for me.

This is what you would call a barebones computer. Even a laptop functions better. BUT these new mini PCs have a place, cruising the web, email etc. For the most part this is a fully functional PC with limitation. If you want a PC for just the Web etc then this fits the bill perfectly. Its small size is great, and can be sat literally anywhere. But what you see is what you get. It wont play games and expandability/upgradability that I can see is 0.

Doesnt really run like it has this much RAM. It lags opening simple applications and can only really have 1 or 2 things open at a time before the lag can threaten to crash programs. Should be fine for very very basic office work and occasionally watching shows or something, but it wont be great if you need word, excel, and a web browser open. Can only really do simple stuff.

So it is Everything it advertises to be. Good RAM and disc space for a mini PC. Beautiful display. Works right out of the box. Connects to wifi easily. Everything works. Im happy with it. Just understand it is a mini PC at an affordable price. This is great for an easy home office set up, but dont expect a real gaming computer or anything specialized. But for the price, you get a pretty good device.
