CyberGeek Nano A1 Tiny Computer Linux, 12th Alder Lake N100 (up to 3.4GHz) Compact PC, 4GB DDR4 RAM 128GB PCIe SSD, Mini PC with HDMI Port/USB3.0/WiFi 6/BT5.2/RJ45/VESA for Home/Office

[Updated: After using this for a couple of weeks, I'm still happy. But, the modest lagginess is a bit more noticeable. If you're one of those people whose blood pressure rises when the driver in front of you is doing 55mph and you want to do 57, you probably should buy a beefier box. You can reduce this effect by using a browser that lets you disable JavaScript on various sites. A lot of this is crap that slows down your machine but produces no value (for you).] My version has Ubuntu (Linux), 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. There are other sizes, and I think you can get it with MS Windows for about $30 extra. I think I paid about $170. The storage is NVMe and quite fast. I haven't benchmarked it, but the RAM seems fast as well. Probably the Celeron CPU is the choke point--four cores and not too fast. It's fine for run of the mill web browsing, and things like videos seem to work without stutter. If you're running a fat web app with lots of JavaScript, it might seem noticeably slow. Probably wouldn't be good for intensive gaming or image/video processing work. The form factor is very nice. There's a fan on the bottom, and it does make an audible sound in a quiet room. Probably similar to some laptops you've used. If there was other background noise, I'm not sure you'd hear it at all. (If you have noise-cancelling headphones, they kill the fan sound entirely.) The fan doesn't seem to be software-controllable. It's delivered with a recent LTS Ubuntu install, ready to set up. If you're paranoid, or just want the latest non-LTS version, it's an easy install from a flash drive. I haven't noticed any odd drivers being needed or anything like that. It's all Intel, aside from the ethernet chip, which is Realtek. Overall, I love it. If you're going to be disappointed by a lack of "snap" under heavier workloads, you might want to be with a more expensive CPU. (Generally, using MS Windows would require more CPU, versus Linux, so take that into account.)

Buyer beware. It was a great little product, but we were no longer able to log on.. I've been dealing with global distribution for three weeks with no resolution on a warranty item. Apparently, they do not honor their warranties. They have been reported to Amazon who assures me that they will be contacting them. I'm not bagging on the mini computer. It's the vendor that is difficult to deal with and offers. No resolutions. They had me pay for shipping back a warranty item so that's another $20 that I'm out

Really nice pc. I used Linux years ago but since I needed to use Windows machines for work, I stopped using Linux, but I always wanted to have a Linux set up. This was a very affordable option that allowed me to use a spare monitor and get back into using Linux again. For a small unit, it really has a nice set up and everything worked out of the box. A great little unit for a great little price!

This little PC runs basic everyday stuff like browsing with multiple browsers, email, spreadsheets, full screen video, all great! It is also very quiet even when the fan is on high. Can hardly hear it from 3 feet away, and that is only in a very quiet room. Ubuntu Linux has come along way also. The last time I tried Linux was over 15 years ago. It is kind of awesome now. It is fast and has everything you need. The only issue I have had is the displayport. It just doesn't work. HDMI works fine and came with displylink already installed and working for a USB-C to HDMI cable to monitor. I had to get a USB-C hub that had two HDMI out ports, along with the PCs HDMI to get triple monitors working. But that DID work just fine. Not sure if the issue is a hardware problem or a Linux problem. It might work in windows, I did not try that yet. I might someday. But for now it's running 3 monitors great(with the added hub). Overall I am pretty happy with the mini PC. Nice to say goodbye to windows! Update: I installed Windows 11 today to see if the Displayport would work in there. It did NOT. Not sure what the problem is. I will reach out to CyberGeek support tomorrow as it is a holiday here today.

So this thing is really cool. I bought a mini-me computer over a year ago and the fan went out. To be clear, this is not the brand it went out on. In fact, besides the fan on the chip, it doesnt have a fan. This thing has been flawless. I loaded Linux Mint on it and it hasnt missed a beat. I would get the 1TB hard drive instead of the 500 gig model like I bought. The more the storage the better I say but nothing and external drive cant handle. Its a matter of preference. Its aslo modular so if craps out, buy a new mini me computer instead of all the peripherals like an all in one has. Great choice. Time will tell but its pretty solid at this point.

I've been using this little computer for several months now after installing Linux on it. For the most part it's been fine for general usage (web browsing, email, etc.). But I can only give it three stars because it often stalls when writing to the SSD (the syslog reports this as a failed WRITE DMA command) and the SATA link is restarted, causing a noticeable delay before normal disk i/o operations are resumed. Annoying, since I have a collection of mp3's on this machine and playback is interrupted. Opening webpages can also be delayed when the browser is trying to read or write its cache. I've seen some suggestions that the problem can be caused by a faulty connection, but I haven't yet opened the case to have a look for myself.

Hardware wie beschrieben: i.O. Software : Ubuntu 22.04 OK, ABER ohne Root Passwort. d.H. NUTZLOS. ( Eigene User ist kein sudoer, auch nutzlos ) Cybergeek Service: Nutzlos, Sie können mich nicht helfen, weil sie meine Auftrag nicht finden können. Meine Vermutung ist, dass Amazon.de das Gerät Amazon.com (USA) bestellt hat und Amazon USA hat Cybergeek das Gerät bestellt. So Cybergeek hat keine Ahnung von mir. Lösung: ich habe Debían 12 rein installiert.

Good purchase, and save a lot of room on my desk.

I've reviewed my original assessment, this is a piece of rubbish, the OS hangs as much as Windows , freezes up totally, it needed a major software upgrade when I got it , it has security issues and now I believe there is an issue with the Bluetooth causing static through my speakers , similar to a faulty microphone, keeps cutting in and out. It also came with the wrong plug, the process of returning was a pain, so I just bent the plugs to fit the socket, that is NOT an issue with the operation, it's just a junk piece of gear, do not purchase !!!

This is LINUX... but I was able to get it into WIndows for a good price.
