First off I have been a tablet user for over a decade.Nice, compact and useful. I bought this to solely use to aid in house hunting. It has been a nice tool..So it has met our needs. For gaming honestly I could not tell you.

Can't beat that. It works without a glitch. Runs cold, watch movies, watch place to travel on tv etc. I installed a mini usb quiet fan behind because it is located in a cabinet at closed doors. After 2 movies, it is at the temperature of my hand. It's faster than I expected for my needs. At the price, you can't beat that. The size is super. One of the best buy I did.

I've had this mini PC running as a Plex server for a few months and it's been great. It's very small and runs right next to my full-size desktop. It's a good secondary PC and the N97 has no problem transcoding any streams or web surfing.It has three USB ports for attaching peripherals and storage - two are high speed. The built-in LAN port is also great as it allows a direct connection to your network rather than relying on just WiFi. The internal fan is very quiet and I have not had any issues with it either. It is also nice to know that I can upgrade my RAM and storage whenever neededI am overall very satisfied with this mini PC in my daily media and web browsing use. It is tiny, powerful, and quiet. I would give it 5/5 stars.

The Kamrui E2 N150 is a fast, quiet Mini PC, but its iGPU support initially stumped me for headless Plex use. On Ubuntu 24.04 (kernel 6.8), the standard LTS release at the time of writing, the GPU wouldn’t initialize properly without a monitor connected during boot—no /dev/dri for transcoding. My Trigkey G4 N100 worked fine headless, so this was unexpected. GRUB tweaks didn’t help, so I thought it was likely a BIOS quirk. After seeing a comment on a different N150 listing, I tried Ubuntu 24.10 (kernel 6.11) which fixed it, keeping the GPU on regardless of HDMI.Storage is one M.2 slot—no extra SATA or M.2 like some rivals. Ports: 1 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort (not dual HDMI), USB-A only—no USB-C, unlike some N150/N100 models, but the listing’s upfront about it.For automatically powering on when power is restored after a power loss, it's a bit cryptic, but you can go into the BIOS and under the 'Boot' tab change the 'State After G3' to S0. (S0 = On, S5 = Shutdown)I'm glad I tried an updated non LTS Ubuntu version + kernel before returning it!

I love this little computer, it's actually the second one I have bought after one of my cats knocked it off of the TV stand and it developed an error in the operating system... It's speedy and my wife likes to play "the Sims 4 it doesn't have a good enough graphics processor to play graphics heavy games like red dead redemption2, or grand theft auto, but for more casual games like stardsw valley or graveyard keeper it runs great...

This was not a planned purchase for me, but I am so glad that I bought the Mini PC.I have been running a Plex Media Server and Blue Iris Security Camera software on a Ryzen 3700 with a robust graphics card. Since it needs to run 24/7, I wanted to buy something that'll reduce my electric bill.This checked all my boxes. It was nicely packaged and safe on arrival. First thing I did was open it to see the internals. It has 8GB RAM and a 256GB M.2 stick. I wasn't sure about the installed Windows on it already, so I initiated a new Windows install. I deleted all the existing partitions on the M.2 drive, formatted and re-installed Windows as a fresh install. After booting up, the Windows 11 Pro key was detected and activated.I then went on to install Plex Media Server. I mostly use it for watching Live OTA TV channels and recording live TV on my NAS. I was a little apprehensive whether it'll do well for watching TV on Roku through Plex installed on this Mini PC, but surprisingly it works very well. The CPU settles to around 40 to 50% when I'm watching on Plex. Max temp I saw was around 70C. And the best of all, it never goes above 20W of power, and mostly is around 10W, even when actively using Plex.My next step was to install a Hard Drive on which I'll save my security camera feeds. This allows 1 additional SATA 2.5" drive. I also was able to plug in a couple of USB drives. I'm using it with my two 27" monitors with the 2 built in HDMI outputs.Overall, this has been a great purchase for a low cost, low power PC. Oh, and I forgot to mention, It's very snappy as a daily driver working on Office Apps and browsing. Very happy with the purchase, and I'm now able to save around $200 a year vs my previous PC, which more than covers the cost of this purchase.
