Good miniPC but not without some issues
Good mini PC for the price. It is good for what it is and runs applications very well. It set up easily and quickly, so no issues there. It has a very small footprint and is very quiet. It has generous ports and being capable of connecting 3 monitors is admirable, one even being a DP port. It is pretty fast for such a small PC, not the fastest, but very good for its specs.Two issues that keep this from being a 5-star review; Updates went smoothly (although when first starting the PC the updates had to be via WiFi and not the network port, per their instructions… reason unknown/not given). When doing the next system update, this particular PC would not install the update at all, even downloading the update and doing a manual update did not fix the issue. This still has not been resolved. All of the other 5 computers that are on the network updated without issue.The second issue was with networking with my other computers on the network. Using the setup user account, the miniPC would not connect to other computers on the network nor could it be seen by any of the other computers. After researching this, a second account was created and that allowed all other computers to see and connect to it. It also connected with all the other computers on the network properly. The reason for not being able to connect using the original user account is unknown still.Aside from these two issues, it appears to be a good reliable PC and I hope it is durable as well. Its benefits of having so many ports are what provided the decision to purchase.I decided to add a larger SSD and found a couple of issues. Doing a clone or migration of a new SSD and installing it in the HD0 slot did not work for me. I had to use the clone SSD in the HD1 slot before it would work. After trying different configurations, using different M.2 SSDs, I found that installing ANY SSD other than the original SSD would not work in the HD0 position. So I can only conclude that the original SSD in the HD0 slot is the only SSD that will work in the HD0 slot.I looked in the UEFI for a way to switch the boot sequence from HD0 to HD1, but that proved fruitless. Only Windows Boot Manager allowed me to switch the boot from HD0 to HD1, however, I still could not use a different M.2 SSD in the HD0 slot.Conclusion: If I ever need to change the HD0 SSD to a new drive (ie. the original SSD goes bad), I will not be able to do that. The HD0 slot will then be useless.Update:I decided to return this particular unit, which was accepted without question. I did, however, purchase another unit of the same kind (that's how much I really like this miniPC). The setup went pretty smoothly, yet when doing the Windows Updates this unit again hesitated failed the first time, yet completed OK the second attempt. I am a bit concerned about the next Windows System Update, whether or not it will actually complete without issues.Other than that, I have not had any issues with the new miniPC. I did NOT try to install the second SSD as the boot drive, but DID install it as a "storage" drive and redirected all of the Windows Library folders to go to the new drive. This is working out great.As for the next Windows System update (24H2), I'll have to see if it has a problem or not and will update this review as soon as it either completes or fails (probably next month). All other updates (ie. driver, .NET, Windows Defender, etc) completed without issue.One note in the "Product Information" for this miniPC, the specs state that this unit has 2 Thunderbolt connections, which it does NOT have. It has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, but that is not the same as a Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt ports have a lightening bolt next to the port. There are, however, 4 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports available.All in all, I like the miniPC, but will see how Windows System updates go in the future. I am still rating it a 4 at this time.Update after latest Windows System update KB5060829: The miniPC updated perfectly on its own, no interference needed. Therefore, I am giving this computer a 4.9 rating (it will show as a 5.0, but it did have its initial issues that required a return of the first miniPC). I do really like it and the second/replacement miniPC has been very stable and consistent in operation.

Good product support
A small connector broke on the power cord and the company was very helpful and eager to replace it.It is always a joy to work with a company that supports their products so readily.As for the PC itself, it is simple, fast, quiet, and very functional, plus the OS isn't loaded with all the bloatware you find in other computer manufacturers. It has plenty of fast connection ports, including USB-C, HDMI, and Display Port.

Not enough paperwork
The unit was easy to set up and works great so far but the only paperwork included is a tiny booklet stating the obvious "quick setup" procedure. But I plan on adding more RAM and there is no instruction on this. The ad says it can be expanded to 64 GB but there is no mention or suggestion of what to use, in what increments, or how or where to install it. The flashing lights are a distraction, but the unit is in a location where I can't see. There's probably a way to shut them off that I haven't discovered yet. If only there were a manual.

NoT a Gaming BOX
This product is it good solid pc for a great price. It was very snappy and affordable. I was looking for a gaming system that was relatively cheap. That could run games, and it is not that. But if you're looking for a low budget computer that flies and you're looking to play not the most advanced games, this is a great buy.

It's trash and can't do anything properly
Pure trash if your using it to run open vpn don't but it, looses connection constantly from wifi to Tap 6 then dissconects the tap 6 adaptor. Mouse will not stay where you put it it auto recenters no matter what. If your using it for network testing once again pure trash looses actual connector connection between ethernet and wifi ' yes I've even bridged it" clumsy wrecks havoc on this system so does soft perfect pro. Any broken network simulator screws with it any vpn software can't be safely relied on with it including viscosity, open vpn and open GUI. Complete waste of my money as far as gamming goes its complete trash unless your going to use it as a emulator but even then hey 👋 it might even dissconect.

Beware "Triple 4k" display
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Picked this product because of price and description of features.Turns out that Display Port can only outlut 1080p (not 4k as advertised) while also driving 4k to HDMI port. Description says "Triple 4k display", and that is NOT TRUE. Returned product for refund. BTW, this seems to be an issue with nearly ALL AMD-based mini PCs using DisplayPort. Devices with Inter chips, or those with dual HDMI ports do not suffer from this limitation.
