G3S Mini PC, 16GB RAM 512GB M.2 SSD Intel N95 (Beats N100, 3.4GHz) Mini Desktop Computer with VESA Mount for Office Home Business HTPC Proxmox, Dual 4K Display, WiFi 5, Gigabit Ethernet

This is a pretty amazing little computer! Although it's tiny and therefore very portable, you obviously need a monitor and keyboard/mouse to go with it. We thought we'd try this as a replacement for the little Lenovo laptop that we've had anchored to a desk for most of it's life anyway, as that laptop isn't upgradable to Win11. This one comes with Win11 Pro, so it should be good for the foreseeable future. It is surprisingly much faster than our little laptop, and has been flawless so far. Getting it up and running was easy, and for routine web browsing and light duty work it barely gets even warm. It easily handles Office Pro applications, and I've even successfully run an architectural CAD program on it. It takes a few seconds or so to render and while I prefer running this software on a computer with a little more horsepower, it's certainly doable. It has also easily handled some photographic image editing. I have not tried video editing or gaming, and my guess is it'll struggle more with these, but assuming you have reasonable expectations it's definitely worth the price paid. Hopefully it holds up as long as the several older laptops I have that are about to be retired with Win10. Two of those started life with Win7 and have been going for years. Time will tell.

Great little PC! Super easy to setup and get running. I have it running all day as a personal server. Sometimes I can hear the fan, which is expected (especially since I have it actively running all day), and it's tucked in my office. Plugged in a 2tb external hardrive and a 1tb microsd (will upgrade these as I fill). I download any content to these storage locations and the computer runs great on the rest of the memory. Definitely use the power cord provided for consistent power.

Upon first opening the box, you will most likely be shocked how small this computer really is. Man how far things have come since my Apple II days. The packaging is quite nice, and the quality seems good right out of the box. I appreciated that it was setup to let you create a local user account, which gets you going a little faster than the sign-in/wait for updates/give it more information /wait for updates routine that a Windows machine usually comes with. Two virus scans came back clean, and I didn't see any bloatware installed. As others have notices, the fan will run on this thing as it heats up, and while I wouldn't consider it loud, it definitely is more noticeable than a few other mini pcs I've used. If you don't expect it to run AAA games, this little guy will do most everything you need a Windows computer to do. It's been running happily in my setup now for weeks 24/7 without any issues.

This box is a beast. Windows ran ok, but I quickly installed proxmox with an Ubuntu vm as well as a home assistant vm and never looked back. Ubuntu is running a number of docker containers flawlessly like JF, n8n, etc. Runs well using very little power, no noise, low heat. Highly recommended for a home lab or even as a cheap desktop replacement. Absolutely perfect as an edge device.

I got this to use as a stand-in for PC's in my business which go down. However, they work so well (and tested so well) that I decided to replace my big PC's with this unit. PROS FAST - Like, I can't believe it fast. There are some small delays in big big activities, but the benchmarks are amazing. PROS Size, obviously. These things are small, take no space and won't break a sweat if you're hauling them up six flights of stairs. Size doesn't hurt the speed or cooling abilities. Unit never got warm testing in my office under load. CONS I wish it was USB powered is probably the biggest one. Most of our laptops are now USB-C powered, and I would love it if this followed suit. I am not fond of proprietary power units you must special order if they go out. I'd much rather be able to port a USB-C cable over to the unit. OVERALL Great machine, I wouldn't try to game off of it, but it has handled excel files, everything browser, watches movies just fine - looks to really be a well put together unit. I will report back after the Missouri summer gets here.

Perfect alternative to Raspberry PI at a better deal. The Windows11 install it had was a bit broken in that after the multiple rounds of update, restart, update restart, it finally got to some update that just wouldn't work. It didn't matter much to me as I was planning on running Linux and a few docker containers to run OpenHAB and it works very well for that. The power usage is very tiny ~12 watts.

I'm slowly down-sizing the machines I have. This replaced a big-box HP desktop. It's smaller, faster, lower power consumption and quieter. Now I have more room on my desk; the system boots and runs much faster than the old one, and I just got a USB adapter and connected the old HDD to this machine to retrieve all my data from the old system. Smooth and easy, and I don't need to cool the computer room any more! It's great.

Easily the best power for the price among mini-PCs (might be close to the lowest price, even, yet a more powerful CPU than most in the same range). Surprisingly little bloat pre-installed, too (so set-up was pretty quick). I've been running a few home media servers off it, and it's worked great. The small desk-footprint is a bonus, given I have it set up behind our living room TV. One thing I will note, the internal WIFI antenna isn't great (although it's fine if you're just surfing the internet). If you plan on using it for heavier tasks like I have, I recommend hooking it up to ethernet if you can (and if you can't, like me, a good USB antenna worked wonders (something with 2 antennas . Those little single-antenna entry level ones I tried weren't any better than the internal one)).

Amazing mini PC- functions well, arrived one day after ordering. Please USB cabled keyboard and mouse for setup purposes. No issues experienced thus far and simpler to carry around compared to a laptop (just need to bring the keyboard, mouse and a portable monitor (of any size of your choosing). Seller is awesome and sent a separate mouse pad, keychain and thank you note which is highly appreciated. Just wished that this mini PC had a full function USB C port for connecting my Acer dual monitor.

Antes de comprar eu tinha visto avaliações online e adquiri o produto em Maio desse ano (2025) em uma oferta na Amazon. Fiquei surpreso com o tamanho e pelo desempenho. Sobre o tamanho, é próximo de um cubo mágico e/ou mouse, praticamente cabe na palma da mão e/ou bolso. O desempenho do N97 com 12GB Ram consegue executar várias ações, exemplos: Ver videos em 1080p sem perda de frames, e para fins de testes executei o demo do RE 7 com uns 25 ~ 30 fps em 900p com opções no médio. Vi na internet (Porém ainda não instalei) esse mesmo modelo executando emuladores de PS2 com taxa estável de 60fps em 720p. Por fim eu sou usuário Linux e estou deixando esse mini pc como alternativa para alguns aplicativos que só funcionam no Windows, que por ventura acompanha a licença original. Porém sei que roda Linux também, mas no meu caso já tenho outras máquinas. No geral, tem várias portas e conectividade: 3 x USB 3.0, Bluetooth, WIFI, LAN, SD e 2 HDMI. É uma alternativa interessante de mini pc, com desempenho legal, baixo consumo de energia e não ocupa muito espaço.

Very pleased with purchase - good price point works well- more than enough for my basic computer needs - easy set up - quiet running - easy to get rid of bloatware

Home server olarak kullanıyorum, 1ram 1cpu olarak 3 vm rahat çalıştırıyor. Fan sesi çok az. Ileride ekstra fanlı bir kutuya koymak gerekebilir.

TV box yerine mini pc almayı tercih etmiştim ve bu yorumu yaklaşık 1 senelik kullanımın ardından yazıyorum. Hiç pişman etmedi. Tabii ki 4k çözünürlükte kullanıldığında hafif teklemeler oluyor, normal bir pc kadar performans vermiyor ama medya oynatımı konusunda çok yeterli.
