Pros & Cons
Pros
Trigkey g1 is a great value for a mini pc. The cords are easily controlled and hidden. Performance is excellent and it's very portable.
Everything works quickly and smoothly and as expected. I haven't had any problems with anything except i am not able to connect all of my wireless bluetooth keyboard/mouse sets. The seller was quick to address any issues.
They all support expanded storage and ram if needed. 2468. Stats- storage kamrui standard with 128gb msata drive, extra 2. Gb nvme disk, and 2. Gb sata3 ssd.
Cons
Buy a used thin client or mini desktop form factor dell/hp/lenovo from ebay instead. It comes with a single 8gb ram slot and the ram cannot be expanded. The network controller completely and randomly locks up. It only has one 8gb gb slot.
The seller/manufacture reached out and tried to suggest different ways to resolve the issue. No communication from seller after reaching out.
Highlights
Quality
Mine, with the addl ssd, is now (so far) working fine.
One problem i had with my old tower computer was setting it to stay awake 24/7 with the bubble screensaver.
Tpm support was not enabled in the shipped bios with the cool logo.

Competitiveness
This made it easy to set this up as a pfsense firewall and protect my network better than spectrum's router.
It comes with a windows license, has a 120gb m2 ssd (which is small, but fast), and 8gb ram.
8gb of ram just isn't going to handle high-end graphics.
After researching many different devices to use as a pfsense router, i decided to try the g1 mini pc out.

Overall if youre looking to host a low power consumption home server personal computer or firewall i believe this is a great option however this is a rather bad choice if youre looking for a machine to play games with as it doesnt have enough pickup for that
