MINIX Fanless Mini PC, Intel Gemini Lake N4100 Mini Computer with Windows 10 Pro [4GB/64GB/Triple Display/HDMI 2.0/VGA Port/DisplayPort] for Industrial and Commercial. Sold Directly by MINIX.

Quiet, sleek little computer with outstanding performance. I also purchased an 8G memory stick  Kingston Technology 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L (PC3-12800) 1.35V Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM Intel Laptop Memory KVR16LS11/8  and SSD for the M.2 slot  ADATA SU800 M.2 2280 256GB Ultimate 3D NAND Solid State Drive (ASU800NS38-256GT-C) . This brought the total RAM up to 12G, and most importantly provided enough disk space to run Windows 10.Why is the adding an SSD required? Well, pre-installing Windows 10 on built-in 32G eMMC storage is kind of a cruel joke. After first boot, you have about 18G free... then windows update runs continuously - pretty much pegging the CPU and making the machine unusable for a few hours as it downloads and installs more and more patches while the available disk space dwindles, winding up at about 6G or so free when all is said and done. For now. Then more updates come, and Windows is complaining about "critically low disk space on drive C" - and this is with no applications installed, just Windows.Since 32G is just not enough space for the primary (C:) windows drive, you're going to need to move Windows to another drive. I would recommend at least a 128G SSD for the M.2 slot. I used the the Windows "Create a recovery drive" feature to make a USB stick installer from the Windows OS on the Minix. The Minix website also has a download link for their Win10pro image, but I didn't use it. Once you have windows on a USB flash drive, you can boot into BIOS setup (press DEL on boot) and DISABLE the eMMC 32G storage. That setting is buried under "Southbridge" config as I recall. Boot up the machine and let Windows install to your new SSD, and life is much better!I have it in a dual-boot configuration with Ubuntu 18.04 and Win10 and all runs great. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. Review would be 5-star except for the 32G silliness.

Very energy efficient . I really liked it at first, but the power went out. I've never felt the need for an uninterruptible power supply in my twenty eight years building and using computers, but could have used one this time. I have never seen a computer refuse to reset itself. It would reach about 32% percent, then quit. Having read other Minix forums, this same thing on other Minix models as well. if only it had killed itself two weeks prior, I wouldn't need to buy a new computer.The first sign of danger was that when you shutdown, it would restart itself, as if it was put into restart mode, instead of shutdown mode. I had others try this also, just to make sure I wasn't part of the problem. Look on the several websites dealing with Minix, you'll find many examples in the other Minix products as well

This is a great find for minimal computers. I'm deploying 70 of these to work at home employees who only need a browser and a SIP phone client. I'm disabling the wifi, adding a 120G m.2 SSD, increasing RAM to 8 GB, disabling the 32GB SSD on the motherboard, then doing PXE boot to image the 120 GB SSD with a configured copy of Win10 Pro. It does everything we need.When we I first tested it, the 32GB SSD filled after running Windows UPdate. 32GB is not enough to use productively with MS Bloatware. It's a shame that Windows is so consumptive. One of the units died and wouldn't power up. Minix Technology Ltd promptly sent a replacement unit from Hong Kong. They emailed me with a UPS return shipping label that I printed to send the dead unit back to them. Not quite up to the standards of Dell next day on-site service, but really great considering the price of this unit.Update Sept 19, 2018 I've bought over 200 of these. 2 were DOA. One had a damaged SoDimm socket. So, about a 1.5% DOA rate. The dead units were replaced after I sent them in. Took about 2 weeks. A very annoying trait of these units is that they hang during Windows Update at 15%. We have to always shut them down and restart to finish the update. We crashed a couple of Windows installs by doing the shutdown and had to reinstall Windows. It's still the best choice I've found for a tiny and cheap Windows 10 Pro workstation.

- PAQUETE -Este Mini PC viene empaquetado en una bonita caja de cartón duro en color azul con todas las características de estas. Al abrir la caja encontramos un molde de espuma donde en medio va colocado y perfectamente encajado el miniPC, envuelto en una bolsita de plástico. Debajo de este molde de espuma tenemos todo lo necesario, un pequeño manual de usuario, un listado de accesorios para este miniPC como HUBs, mandos, teclados, etc, un cable HDMI, el soporte con la tornillería, el cargador con toma de corriente de diferentes países i un adaptador de Jack a entrada óptica para el audio.- CARACTERÍSTICAS -Se trata de un MiniPC de un tamaño muy contenido con un acabado más que bueno, en plástico de color negro con el logo de MINIX en el centro del ordenador que cuenta con un Intel Pentium N4200 con una gráfica Intel HD Graphics 505 acompañado de 4GB de RAM que se pueden upgradear a 8GB, y un pequeño SSD de 32GB de slot M2 que también se puede upgradear. Por supuesto cuenta con Windows 10 Pro, es totalmente compatible con la salida 4K ya sea por el HDMI, por el Mini DisplayPort o incluso por el nuevo USB-C. Cuenta tamboién con Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, entrada Ethernet, 3 USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, la entrada Jack 3,5mm y la entrada DC de 12V.- PRODUCTO -Para quien no conozca las bondades de un MiniPC, están pegando muy fuerte ahora por la gran utilidad que tienen, lo bien que funcionan y lo poco que ocupan, se trata literalmente de un ordenador ultra pequeño que basta con conectarlo a la corriente, conectarlo a la pantalla y conectar los periféricos (un ratón y un teclado) ya sea por USB o por Bluetooth y tienes un ordenador completamente funcional. Lógicamente no tiene unas características para que puedas ponerte a jugar a juegos, pero si que para un uso estándar ya sea ofimática, para estudiar, para ver películas o para navegar por internet funciona realmente bien, no necesitas más. Además, el hecho de que sea tan pequeño, hace que incluso tenga una base que se atornilla detrás de las pantallas y de esta manera sólo vemos la pantalla y el ordenador queda escondido pues no necesita más cables, como los típicos ordenadores que vemos en hospitales o en oficinas.Me ha gustado mucho ya que tiene ciertas características que no había visto en otros MiniPC y por esto me he decantado por este, la primera es que acepta la resolución 4K a 30 y 60Hz y esto es genial para conectarlo a un televisor 4K que tengamos por ejemplo en el salón. Por otra parte es tan moderno que incluye el conector USB Tipo C, esto hace que si tenemos un televisor / monitor con una entrada Tipo C ni siquiera necesitaremos el adaptador de corriente, ya que con el cable tipo C conectado a la televisión alimentaremos el ordenador al mismo tiempo que pasamos la imagen a la televisión, un cable todoterreno!. Por otra parte me ha encantado lo fácil que es hacerle un upgrade, y es que simplemente quitando los 4 tornillos de la base (debajo de las patas) accedemos a su interior y gastando unos 80€ podemos upgradear este MiniPC a 8GB de RAM y poner un SSD de tipo M2 de 250GB por ejemplo y con esto tendríamos un PC super completo para muchos años por un precio realmente ridículo.La verdad, muy contento de este Mini PC, lo recomiendo sin duda.

This will be my third Minix product. I've been nothing but satisfied with all of them.In regard to this one, I immediately upgraded RAM and the SSD. I bought the wrong drive originally so had to wait a few days for the other to arrive (sata vs other one). RAM was a super easy install but the SSD took some time to get everything moved over to it once installed. I used minitool to help move partitions around etc and had to disable some things in the bios.Just a reminder that if you are going to be using the mini display port to convert to HDMI, you need an active adapter. The cheaper passive ones don't work.I feel the system would have worked ok out of the box and done a few things well but with the upgrades, it's unbeatable for the size, energy draw and functionality.

Muy contento con la compra. La verdad es que llevo 3 días con él y es una verdadera pasada. Lo que más me ha impactado es el precio, ya que solo por 300 euros puedo disponer de un PC con lo que necesito y sin tener que comprar nada más que la pantalla, ya que el teclado y el ratón he tomado los de otro ordenador más viejo.El dispositivo tira perfectamente, sin lagueos ni problemas de otra índole. Así que contento con mi compra.

Il servizio di spedizione è stato eccellente arrivato nei tempi previsti.In merito al prodotto acquistato è ottimo per le mie esigenze, l'unico neo è la capienza del SSD 32 Gb sono pochi per Windows 10 pro. Per risolvere questo problema ho acquistato una SSD M.2 (2280) della Crucial da 250 GB e dopo aver clonato Windows 10 con il programma Acronis® True Image™ HD for Crucial il computer è perfettamente funzionante.Lo consiglio.N.B. è preferibile acquistare il computer e la SSD supplementare insieme.

In prova già da un mese nel mio salotto. Lo uso molto come media center per vedere film, ascoltare musica e navigare su internet. OTTIMO.Temevo che i 4GB di Ram fossero pochi per una buona fluidità e invece il minix funziona perfettamente e in modo gradevolmente reattivo.L'unico vero limite sono i 32GB di disco che possono mettere molta ansia in presenza di massicci aggiornamenti di windows... Al momento sto sempre con 9GB liberi. Sono rimasto molto soddisfatto e a breve acquistero un ssd M2 da 128GB per ovviare al limite del disco.
