> 24 hourThis is a great choice for anyone looking for a mini PC to run in a HTPC setting, or just for a light duty workstation. I have another similar one that I use to run Plex and Kodi on a TV in the bedroom. That one has a cooling fan which is pretty quiet, but not totally silent. I think Ill move that one to the living room and put this new on in the bedroom where it will be easy to appreciate the fanless, totally silent design. This one is also a bit more powerful than my other one, using the Celeron N5105 CPU. My old one has a J4125 which works well, but can get bogged down streaming 4K content online. This new one with the N5105 chugs right along pulling in 4K/60 content without dropping frames. RAM is running in single channel mode which isnt the best for getting all the potential from the GPU, but it still gets the job done. It also has plenty of ports, with dual HDMI and 4 USB3 ports. Dont be alarmed if it seems to feel hot to the touch, its by design. They cleverly used a heat dissipating material for the top half of the case, to allow it to double as a large heatsink to cool the components inside without any moving parts. This little PC should definitely be among the top of your list to consider if youre looking for one!

> 24 hourVery good. Internet and Bluetooth is very fast. Computer is fast enough for most home and office work. No lagging even when watching Netflix and YouTube videos. The surface gets very hot but I guess thats normal since theres no fan.

> 24 hourIts amazing that one can get a good PC this small and affordable. Celerons have been considered a budget processor but dont let that sway you, they give you a lot power for what you pay. This Celeron Quad Core N5105 Processor is no exception and better than ever, easily taking most tasks you put it through. Setup was easy and going through the Windows was surprisingly fast then go to update and security and it then takes a while to download all the updates which is a normal windows thing. Once finished boot up was just under 12 seconds then customizing it for your liking and browsers is for me the fun part. As it had only 128GB of storage I installed a 256GB NVMe SSD M.2 to give me some more storage. Doing that was a breeze taking less that ten minutes then you need to initiate the drive via the disk manager which again only takes a few minutes. If you dont want to add more storage yourself they offer the same PC with a 256GB drive for only $20.00 more which would be a smart move. I really do wish the would have at least one USB C port as they seem to be taking over and necessary. They do have one but it is only for the power supply.

> 24 hourThe item showed up and had obviously been opened - the box was torn, the power cord twist tie had been removed, and the machine had a Windows account on it already. So not just opened, used. This item was supposed to be new. Im wiping the drive but I frankly am a bit worried that I was 1.) sold a used machine as new and 2.) whoever had it before me did... something to it, e.g malware, keylogger, etc., and I do NOT trust the device.

> 24 hourIve had the Quieter3Q 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD for a day so far. It came pre-installed with Win 11 Pro. Setup was easy and just windows updates took a while. Ran stable, but case does get a bit hot since it doesnt have a fan and the metal plate on bottom helps to expel heat.

> 24 hourNew box and device, plugged in the HDMI and keyboard, and then the AC power supply. Went to turn it on and nothing happened, no lights, no indication on the screen, nothing. Returning.

> 24 hourJust wow. Wanted to reduce power consumption of an old i5 tower. This little pc more than replaced it. It runs circles around it! As others have noted it does get warm but thats by design, as the metal case doubles as a heatsink - dissipating the heat from the cpu. Just dont stack stuff on it and you should be fine. No noisy fans or rotating hard drives - no noise at all! Runs two older hd led displays with no problem. Looking forward to getting a couple of 4k monitors but so far a very impressive little pc!
