MeLEFanless Mini PC Stick PCG02 Pro 12th Gen Alder Lake - N100(up to 3.4GHz), 8GB DDR4 RAM 256GB Desktop Computer Stick Support 4K Dual HDMI/USB3.2/WiFi/BT/Ethernet,Home Business Office Industrial

Product stinks of burnt plastic under heavy load, warranty is with some Chinese website that looks made by a child. I have lost my money and Amazon don't wanna know after 30 days.

This mini pc is a disappointment. It worked fine the first month and then it went down hill. It started with not even turning on when I pressed the on button, despite the light turning blue (which means on). So I would have to unplug it and plug it in again and then it turns on properly. This now happens once every five times I try to turn it on.So a waste of money

Update: I contacted the supplier about the missing plug and they immediately despatched one with a tracking number. I can't fault that for good comms. 5 stars from me.I bought the product because I was intrigued about the price, size and specification. First issue was that there wasn't a UK plug adapter. This is SO frustrating. Why is Amazon selling products without a UK plug. Anyway, I had a travel adapter which I am able to use as I didn't want to send it back without testing it. The PC booted without a problem and updated to the current version of Win10 Pro. I was so impressed that I added a 256Gb M.2 SSD and a 128Gb micro SD card. A mounting bracket came with the PC so it is now mounted to the rear of my monitor. Other than the UK plug issue (which is why I dropped a star) this is a brilliant bit of kit.

Really , really quiet. It runs 24/7 from the day I brought it. It is 2 months now and it is mainly used as a vps. Does the job and it pays for it self. Plus you are certain that nobody ( or almost certain) is looking through your files.Not used for gaming or graphics. I mainly use one resource hungry program and I can say that I am happy with the result.

Muy buen equipo con windows 11 preinstalado, auque yo lo tengo trabajando con Home Assistant, 24 x 7 sin problemas y sin bloqueos.Muy recomendable y un consumo energetico muy bajo.

I liked the price and size of the MeLE so I thought I would try to set up a PLEX server with one. Some pros and cons always come up with most products and so I thought I would put down my thoughts if anyone wanted to try this.The price, size and form factor obviously are first in line as pros. Not having any issues in the first start and install of windows was excellent and a look at settings shows that it is indeed windows 10 pro. Nice. Did not try to run Ubuntu or Linux that is for another time.You have the ability to set up auto start in the bios so that when power goes on it auto boots. This allows you to have the MeLE unit remote with a zwave or wifi controlled outlet to reboot if needed. You can setup Windows to auto logon by running a non windows app called autologon.exe. (older versions of windows 10 and older had this built in, look in settings). Windows remote desktop connection allows you to log on using your laptop or a desktop windows PC. The only problem here is that windows logs out the MeLE user and the auto logon for that user doesn't re-logon the MeLE user when you log out with the remote logon. This is a windows problem that can be overcome if needed using a non windows app. I logon if I need to then just reboot so it will again do the auto logon. I know this is a kludge but it works for me. It does appear to run just fine headless (no HDMI screen or emulator plugged into an HDMI port) Nice.So my idea was to see how much storage I could add using 3 of the USB 3 ports. I had 3 WD Elements USB drives to plug in and I wanted to see if the MeLE could handle them. A 4TB, 2TB and 1TB drives as you can see in the picture. I also had a keyboard mouse receiver plugged into the 4th USB port. I set up my PLEX server to put movies on the 4TB, shows on the 2TB and pictures on the 1TB drive. Initially one of the things I experienced was that the mouse had to be within about 10 inches to the USB receiver or it lost it ability to be usable. As time went on the MeLE would turn itself off usually within about a three hour period. I had a energy consumption Watts history recorder on the 120v circuit and in looking back at that there was not a spike in consumption which caused a problem but I think most likely the bios shut it down due to temperature problems. The unit was using up to 14 watts of power at it's peak and when nothing was being recorded averaged about 8 watts. The MeLE would turn itself off after about an hour of recording on the 2TB drive where the power consumption hovered around 13 watts for that period.Now that I have narrowed the problem down somewhat I will do further testing. I have reset my libraries in PLEX to just the 4TB USB drive and unplugged the other two. The first thing I noticed was that when nothing is recording the energy consumption of the 120v to the MeLE hovers around 3.5 watts. Another thing I noticed is that the mouse is working normally now. More testing is needed. I have also considered injecting additional 5 volt power through a USB Y cable. I will update this post as time goes on.Update:12-14-21 It seems that for the unit I received at least, that any kind of long term recording using a USB 3 WD Drive will cause the unit to shut down after extended video recording. With the 4TB only plugged in the unit shut down after recording 3 movies back to back.... about 6 hours. I have recorded now for two days to the internal drive and have not had a shutdown problem yet. I am waiting now for the Y cable so I can try it by injecting additional 5Volts from an alternate source. If that works I will try a powered USB 3 hub and try recording with more drives connected. Will update findings as I go along.Update:12-21-2021 Adding power to the USB drive through a Y cable worked great. The 4 TB WD drive can record for long periods without a shutdown with the addition of 5 Volt power to the drive. So now I purchased a Coolgear powered USB 3 hub with 4 powered USB ports from Amazon. Nice steel housing and included cable and power supply. Nice. I have hooked up 2- 4 TB WD USB 3 drives and 1 - 2 TB WD USB 3 drive and will change my settings in PLEX server to use all 3. I have a HD Homerun Scribe for a tuner. Movies recorded on a 4TB drive, Shows on a 4TB drive and pictures on the 2 TB drive. Will update when I have done more testing and usage. I might add there would only be 2 concurrent max accessing the media at any one time.Update:12-25-2021 Have used now for a few days with no problems. I have had 2 videos recording from the HD Flex (one on the movie 4 TB USB drive)(one on the shows 4 TB USB drive, a photo screen saver running off the 2 TB USB drive, PLEX server running on the internal drive and two users accessing from two different ROKU devices..... all running concurrently. This was actually better than I expected. This is as far as I am going to go since this is where I wanted to be. I was not actually expecting to have it work for my PLEX server needs so I am amazed. So now all that is left is to mount it vertically to my server/Unifi mounting board and leave it be. Oh yeah... it comes with a mounting plate so you can either mount it to the back of a screen or like me to a vertical plywood board where everything else resides. Nice.

Good

L'installation c'est bien passé, malgre un windows 11 qui n'est pas evident. Après un mois d'utilisation, je suis agreablement par les performances de ce petit boitier.

Hängt bei mir als superleichter RemotePC am hinteren Tubusende des Lacerta 250/1000, sammelt per NINA Daten einer Omegon 571 Mono und guidet per ASI 178 Mono. Parallel steuert er die Cem70g, das 7x2Filterrad und den Lacerta MFOC nach u.a. Temperatur und ausgewählter Filterart. ASTAP, Wetterabruf etc. Wird er dabei heiß? Nö. Hab den Tubus mit einem selbstgebauten Deckel und einem handelsüblichen niedrigen CPU Lüfter ausgestattet. Der Lüfter (regelbar :) ) saugt Luft aus dem Tubus und kühlt so nebenbei den 4C Quiter. Läuft absolut reibungslos per nomachine mit wahlweise wlan oder auch Internet verbunden und ansteuerbar.Ein USB-Anschluß mehr wäre der absolute Clou gewesen. Dann wäre es für diesen Zweck die Eier legende Wollmilchsau schlechthin.
