Mini Desktop Computers, AMD Ryzen 7 5700U (8C/16T,up to 4.3 GHz), Small PC 64GB DDR4 RAM 1TB PCIe SSD, Mini PC Supports 4K Triple Display/WiFi/BT5.0/HDMI+DP+Type C for Gaming/Business/Home

I built a custom made ROG computer last year and when my son was home for summer break from college, he got the opportunity to test it out. I'm not a gamer but I wanted to build something powerful. When he was returning to college, he asked me if I could build him one and I ended up gifting it to him. I had other options such as a laptop and a ClearCube (running VDI to connect to work)I've always been interested in a a micro pc but I've been skeptical about price and quality. Based on price, I kept returning to this one. After changing up operating systems on the clearcube (Google OS/Linux/Statodesk) and failing to get Win10 and 11 (x64) installed on one of them, the feverish push to continue testing something helped me make my decision. I went with the J1.I ordered one with a smaller drive knowing that I had a few spare M.2 drives and would attempt to clone to a 1TB drive. Success! My tips for you is to look at the processor the Cybergeek model comes with and look to see what limitations it may have. The J1 for instance is limited to 16gb memory. That really wasn't an issue for me since I'm not using it for gaming but using it more as an every day pc which I will use to connect to work using the Horizon VDI client.Getting to the guts of this PC, you just need to remove the 4 screws under the rubber feet on the bottom. Granted, opening up the unit will likely void the warranty. I wasn't too concerned with this as it is a test machine for me and at around $160. Inside I have two 8gig PC4-3000 SODIMM memory chips (different manufacturers to be honest) and a 128gig M.2 drive, which I updated to 1tb.) I cloned the drive and normally if there is a recovery or a partition after the C: partition, you need to delete that partition to extend it. (Google it if you need instructions)I've only had the J1 for a couple of days so I'll give it 5 stars based on my expectations. I would give it 2 to 3 stars for gaming. I haven't tested any games yet but ran it through a bench mark test. I'm going to say it is your average every day home pc that is used to browse the web, run your office applications and for me, I may use the larger drive to move over some of my pictures/multimedia stuff.I know people are sometimes sensitive about fan noise. Heck, I work in IT, lol. The fan is slightly louder than my clearcube and I'm pretty sure if I hang it on the backside of my monitor, I may not even notice it. With everything I have reviewed so far, your mileage may vary. Since it's only been a couple of days, I will likely update the review at a later date to report on any changes. I would suggest you take a look at other reviews before purchasing. There was one concerning downloading "google", that wasn't an issue for me. There was a "power issue" and again, it's been only a few days so I can't comment on that. Since I have experience with various computer peripherals, it's hard for me to comment on what the issue was and if it could have been an easy fix or an issue with the unit itself. If it happens to me, I'll let you know :-)

I had heard of the mini Mac. I saw these about 2 months ago just as the New Year started. And I really wanted to get when it looks so sleek and neat. I watched a number of YouTube videos about these things. I weighed the pros and cons of them. I purchased one Thursday night and it arrived yesterday. I'm quickly loading it up with all my favorite software. I actually find that the device works pretty well. I haven't had any issues with it since yesterday afternoon. I actually think it's a neat thing to have. The performance is like they said it is. I find that when I turn it on it is quiet I don't even hear anything because it's all solid state. It boots up really fast. I have the 16 GB 1 TB model. You can get this all the way up to 64 GB 2 terabytes. The USB ports are labeled. The HDMI ports are labeled. There's a USB c drive on here or plug in thing. There's a Kensington lock on here. Even a slot for a mini or a micro SD card. It's easy to set up and it has all the features of Windows pro. I had to tweak some of the settings to my liking. But it's working and I was able to get it going in about maybe 15-20 minutes. you can plug all of your favorite peripherals into it. I plugged two USB 3.0 multi-port devices so I can get more out of it. I plugged in my 8 terabyte and my 4 TB external hard drives and they work just fine. I also plugged in a CD DVD ROM recording thing. And it does just fine

I would’ve given this five stars if it wasn’t a pain in the ass to setup with my wireless keyboard and mouse! Took me forever to work around that, butttt once I got past the really annoying setup it’s been just fine.Does all the normal pc stuff and I even play some games from steam or EA, like Sims 4 (all packs and no lag or overheat), and easy telltale games. I tried playing expedition 33 and let’s just say - DO NOT EXPECT TO PLAY PS5/XBOX/GAMING PC TYPE OF GAMES.Still other than that I’ve played sims 4 for hours with no lag, no long waits, no overheating, and no loud fans. I’m happy with how clean this looks on my desk.

I am in the process of replacing several Dell Tower PCs that started with Windows 7. I've upgraded each of them to Windows 10, but can not upgrade them to Windows 11 as Microsoft says they won't support Windows 11. The MiniPCs are every bit as fast as the Dell Towers I'm replacing if not faster. The CPU speed of these MinPCs is only 2/3rd the speed of the Dell Towers I'm replacing, but they seem a lot faster. I think that is because the MiniPCs have 16GB of memory instead of 8GB and the hard drive is solid state rather than a spinning disk drive. My Dell Tower PCs had DVD R/W drives, but I never used them so those are irrelevant to me. These MiniPCs have 2 HDMI ports which is great since I use 2 monitors on most of my PCs. Each of these MiniPCs has 2 high speed USB ports in the back and 3 USB ports in the front. 2 get taken up right away with a mouse and keyboard, but that still leaves 3 for other devices. They have built in WiFi so I haven't used the hard wired network port on any of them yet. Most important to me is that each has a 2 TB solid state hard drive that is very fast. For my purposes I really need the disk space. If you only need 1 TB instead of 2 TB, you can buy a version for about $100 less.

Don't buy. I purchased two of the computers and had the same problems with both. I couldn't get into Windows Settings after I shut down both computers. Called Amazon and Cyber Geek tech support with no help from either. Finally decided to mail the computers back, via UPS, to send back to Amazon, and get my money back for both purchases. Both Companies were a big headache getting help or support. I even contacted Microsoft to get tech support. Next time I'll purchase a name brand computer, which I had done before with Amazon. It works very well, and I satisfied with its performance.
