MAKE A COPY OF ALL THE DRIVERS BEFORE REINSTALLING WINDOWNS

If you buy this and you are planning to reinstall windows. Please copy the drivers off the Windows folder first to an external drive or USB.

Copy everything in this folder "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository"

After install, you can simply point device manager to the copy of this folder, then click update driver and it will install the correct drivers.

I got one and returned it. You have to rip off the rubber feet to open it and they won't re-adhere. I applied the bios update for it to support nvme, since it comes with a sata drive. Bios download was a 3rd party file hosting service, not the manufacturer. Bios saw the nvme drive but windows couldn't see it to install to. Runs hot, makes a lot of fan noise.

It's also where I found out that most of these minipc companies are the same outfit. Box had kamrui on it, support replied from a GMKtek account, and when I returned it the address went to an Acemagic location.

I then wrote a perfectly fair review of my experience, and kamrui had amazon remove it for "not meeting community standards". Which is not unique when it comes to these products. About 90% of the critical reviews I bought were either removed or the manufacturer offered me money to delete the review. They also do not allow an ebay buyer to review the product.

So those great reviews, and the lack of complaints, and people suggesting that problems with these devices are rare, don't believe them.

The only one that hasn't sucked is minisforum. I've never dealt with their customer service, but the products I own don't have compatibility problems nor do they overheat.

I bought this a week ago. After seeing it up, I downloaded the Passmark benchmark suite and ran it. I've been pleasantly surprised by the CPU speed, even though it's bottom-of-the-barrel. It's you compared to my older PCs. Definitely worth of surfing, streaming, and productivity apps. I was unfortunately disappointed with the GPU though. I knew I wouldn't be able to play the latest games, but that was okay with me. I play decade-old games (League of Legends, Civ 4, Arkham Asylum, etc.). I thought I'd be able to play my old games on high settings though. That didn't work out. They run okay on pretty low settings.

Your particular unit is probably defective, something loose inside causing a short, try to exchange it if you can.

Quote from gamespeed :
Consider whether this can sustain 24x7 operation. Although I didn't have a failing mini PC power adapter, I did have at least one failing/problematic 12v power adapter for my cable modem. Another thing is whether to run an external desktop hard drive 24x7. I had one Seagate external desktop HDD connected to a raspberry pi as NAS (with ext4), and it eventually failed after about 5 years and something. This isn't too bad, considering that the disk and enclosure isn't designed for 24x7 operation. It would be nice if someone can educate me whether those purpose built NAS use only components that can do 24x7.
Most of the popular NAS are designed to run 24/7. If they weren't, then it would negate one of the main purposes of a NAS. Most hardware designed to be network connected will also be designed to run 24/7 since there isn't a use case where you would be powering network hardware on and off at random times throughout the day. This applies to the popular brands like synology or terramaster. Can't speak for the Chinese knock offs or the WD NAS external drives.

You don't need to retrieve the windows key. It is associated to the computer and activates automatically when you reinstall windows.
