FWIW, I bought a very similar N150 mini PC a couple of days ago, same specs. It's very slow, CPU frequently hits 100% just when running Chrome with a few plugins and 1 or 2 windows open. Seems much slower than an old Dell Optiplex I have with an i5-4590 running the same thing.

The N150 is roughly equivalent to the i5-6500, but at 1/5th the power usage. I wouldn't want to run it as a desktop PC, but it works great for running a home automation, NAS, plex, living room media pc, kiosk, etc.

Sure, but this is marketed as a desktop.

Edge works a lot better than Chrome on this device. I use one as a Plex server. Works great, but Windows updates take time on it.

That's a fair criticism of this device. I'm just pointing out the CPU has some other use-cases it's well suited for.
TBH, at $158 this is a really inexpensive way to start a home lab. I have a similar mini PC running docker. Quite the learning experience.

I use this as a print server. Got 3x USB label printers hooked up to it right now. I'm sure I can use it for other stuff later.

I mistakenly bought one of these...the 8gb/256 model as after looking at dozens of them, there was always something skimped on. Usually noname random ram and ssds that end up being why the machine breaks down. So I figured to be tossing out the ram and "ssd" and replacing them, gave up on the $200+ boxes and went as cheap as possible.

The "m.2 ssd" notably lacked the "nvme" or "pcie", and it is in fact a sata drive with read speeds just over 100Mb/s. Or as slow as a lot of EMMC.

Tried two actual nvme drives in it, 1tb and 4tb, western digital blue, not recognized. Specs say gen 3 nvme. Boolsheeit.

Picky as hell about ram as well. Used a 16gb/3200 stick from another pc and I guess it doesn't support xmp or doesn't support it correctly, because it wanted it to run at 2133.

Another chinabox with fake specs and things that'll be a lot of problems to fix. But keep deleting the product listing, and deleting bad reviews and you might buy and return it. I had an experience with kamrui a while ago where they wanted me to delete a one star review or they wouldn't accept the return. Joke was on them, amazon took the return and they had no say over it. They then disabled me from reviewing their products on amazon. "Reviews for these products from this account is prohibited".

That should have scared me off of this, but then again that woman at the UPS store IS kinda cute.
