Pros & Cons
Pros
From unboxing to setup was a couple of minutes. Obvious speed & handling improvement over my old system. Installation is very easy and i have no lag in any of the functions, everything opens and operates as expected.
It has a mini cooling system built in with vents either side of the box. Most mini pc tend to be solid state and only use heatsinks and vents as a cooling method. It works really well, no getting warm at all and isn't loud when in use.
The amd ryzen 5 5560 will outperform many desktop pc’s in the gaming performance. It has a 16 gb ram and a 500 gb of storage and both of these are expandable. If you're paying hundreds of pounds for a computer it makes sense to protect your purchase.

Highlights
Quality
Overall, i'm totally satisfied with the products usage and recommend it.
I would also mention that just for fun i connected it to a large screen tv and the image quality was reasonably good.
However, this is a very special use scenario, so definitely does not reflect on the quality or value for money of this pc.
I usually go for the branded stuff - i've had an intel nuc and an asus mini pc - so to consider buying from an unknown firm was a risk.
Price
I'm very glad to have bought this before the £70 price hike.
I was also quite surprised that it came with windows 11 professional edition at the price i paid for it!
Shipping

The expandable storage is greatit arrives in eco-friendly packaging and includes the power supply, the mini-computer itself and... Read More
This was just a case of trial and error and eventually got the perfect fit to the screen.
Competitiveness
Opened it up to add a 2tb ssd for storage and all was neat and organised.
I added another 500gb hdd from an old laptop, it popped in easily and works fantastic.
I added a 2tb ext hdd (toshiba).
It has a generous 16g ddr4+ together with 500gb nvme ssd and a 6core 1600mhz hd graphics, wifi-6e, bluetooth 5.
