I have had this mini PC since last BF. This is a very good price, better than when I bought it. I am running Win11Pro with 32 GB RAM, 2 TB NVMe SSD and a 2 TB 2.5 inch SATA HDD. I run no games, but office and video editing apps without any concerns. Recommended if this fits your needs.

Not sure where SD took the photos from, but check the website for the correct pics of this PC. The one on the post shows 1 Ethernet port, the wrong display ports, and the front is different.

For a lot of ppl, the tinyPC form factor is ideal for Homelab stuff. It's powerful, compact, (relatively) low power usage for 24/7 running. You could make this a monster plex server or throw on proxmox and spin up VMs until you choke those 2.5GB nics. Ok no, in reality that 64GB mem cap would prolly be the limiting bit, but this would make for a very capable VM host.

Or just use it for a non-gaming desktop. Plenty of power. Minisforum has been killing it with the deals lately.

I am thinking about putting ROUVY (bicycling training app) on it and hooking it up to a TV in my garage for training with a bike trainer.

Prolly overkill with the dual nics and usb4, but that's a neat use-case.

Does it need a heat sink? Are you doing constant read/write? For normal operation I can't imagine any NVME drives needing a heat sink. I mean they all work in a laptop.

Can someone attest to the longevity of these miniPCs? My father needs a new web browsing PC, his currently one is an old Dell Optiplex with a 4th gen i5. I did just buy another refurb Dell with a 10th gen i7 and 32GB of ram for about $400.

Yes-ish. There isn't anything inherently wrong with them. They are essentially laptop components in a larger enclosure. They should work just as well or better than a laptop.

That being said, aside from Nucs, most mini PCs are made by less established or credible manufacturers. The hardware might be great. But the manufacturers might also heavily cut corners on things. And they might not have a large concern for their reputation.

The better versatility afforded by the second Ethernet port and the very good price point make this tempting, But since this is the 'X' version (higher performance = more heat >> potential throttling under sustained loads), I'd want to check some legit reviews before buying.

When the next step up (to the 7940HS) becomes available at this price point, I'm jumping on it.
