Mini Computers

[twncam]

I finally picked up one of these recently and so far have had good luck with it.
Not had it long enough for a good review but works well in my living room next to my recliner
I have a WD_BLACK 5TB P10 Game Drive - Portable for storage.

With tax price was around $350 US

Anyone else have any experience with one of these little computers?

ALLIWAVA Mini PC AMD Ryzen 5 5600H(6C/12T, up to 4.2 GHz),
H56 Mini Computer
32GB DDR4-3200M RAM (16GB*2, up to 64GB)
512GB PCIe SSD (up to 2TB)
Small Micro Desktop PC 4K@60Hz Triple Display,
Dual HDMI, Type-C, USB3.0

Additionally, it supports external 7mm 2.5 inch HDD expansion up to 2TB (not included), allowing for easy DIY capacity upgrades.

That PC packs quite the punch for only $350. The RAM and SSD alone off the shelf could cost you that much, much less the package deal.

I have seen many, owned none... but it would be one heck of an HTPC take over... but, if 2TB is all it can handle external wise, wouldn't scratch what we use in our HTPC now.. which is around 20TB.

Sweet buy though... I'd still want one.

I got it mainly to act as a media server and of course browsing from my easy chair
My first use of Win 11 pro and getting use to it still.
Its pretty snappy and so far I am more then happy with it.
My WD game drive is 5TB (2.5TB free) so for my use will probably be enough hopefully.
But with music and video, space can fill up quickly.
I could upgrade the SSD to 2TB and add the 2TB HDD expansion in the future.

Fan is quiet and unit seems to dissipate heat well..

But only time will tell and if I have any issues I will report them here.

Have you tried playing 4k remuxes on it? Any stutters?
The price seems decent for such a powerful minipc. Seems ideal for Console emulators on the living room tv?

At only 4MB/s max downloading, I stay with 1080 x265 most of time.
Maybe someday before I die, I will be able to enjoy some hi speed internet.

So far I am happy with my purchase, still not certain about W11.

Have you tried to play any newer, graphics intensive games on it al all?

We have these mini pc's everywhere at work, but they are the bare bone basic models.

They are okay for purely emails, browsing/editing excel sheets and surfing the web anything else that isnt server sided/hosted progammes ect they go to crap running just about anything.

But it seems this little fire cracker you have stumbled on is quite the firey one! Especially for that price!

Makes you wonder if it really houses what it states.
