MeLE Quieter3Q Fanless Mini PC Windows 11 pro Celeron N5105 16GB 512GB, Portable Desktop HDMI Wifi6 Gigabit Ethernet, Micro PC Unlock Bios Auto Power on, SSD PXE on Astrophotography Telephotography

While this PC has its uses, it also has a few limitations. The design should be modified to allow for an internal 2.5 hard drive to start, as this will allow you to attach the drive in a secure fashion instead of hanging it from a USB cable. While one may want to swap the memory, it is not a typical desire in this type of usage case. This is a fast little box that just needs a monitor/TV, keyboard, mouse, network connection, and power to do many different dedicated jobs. Is it a full blown desktop replacement? No, but it can browse the web in a pinch. Is it a server? No, but it can run Home Assistant, VPN, NTP, and PiHole.

This works great for hosting dedicated game servers on and even web servers or use as a workstation. Dont expect lots of snappy performance but there is enough to browse the web, watch movies, YouTube, etc.

This little Bluetooth Keyboard is cool. I rate it 8.5 - 9.5.

From the moment this box arrived, it has been my main PC for the office. Golden silence! 20 watts! ( could be 30 watts at times. If you live with limited watts you want this Fanless-PC.

I use this via Windows Remote Desktop Connection to control a telescope, mount, and camera for astrophotography. Its 12V power and draws few amps compared to a notebook or laptop. I can run this all night along with the aforementioned peripherals with a small 293Wh battery.

I initially reported that the mounting screws didnt fit, and contacted support, and in the mean time figured out how to use the mounting screws. It would be nice if they included instructions for it.

Weve purchased about 25 of these so far and have had no issues to date. Theyre fanless, small, and silent. What are they good for? They make for a decent general purpose industrial pc (fanless is important for keeping the dust out) or a basic office PC for regular use. They can also be used as light duty dedicated servers. Dont expect to game on them or do heavy video editing, but most everything else they can handle with flying colors. Quieter3Q are a decent bit faster than the older Quieter2 models, in my testing Ive seen about a 30% performance increase. I think overall theyre on the right track with this product line, I hope they keep developing it while sticking to the fanless design. Improvements Id like to see in the future are dual channel memory and models with NVMe by default in place of eMMC.

I bought the MeLE Quieter3Q (N5105 processor, 8GB RAM and 128 GB eMMC drive) to control my astrophotography gear: telescope mount, 12v power distribution box/USB hub, DSLR camera and guide camera. I installed N.I.N.A., PHD2, Stellarium, Sharp Cap, several ASCOM drivers and an application to control the power distribution box/USB hub.

Using this MeLE as a low-noise, daily computer for web browsing and cloud-based information management, Ive thus far found it to be hefty and responsive enough to drive two large monitors. It replaced my Intel NUC i7 system so I could deploy that for resource-intensive photo editing, etc.
