B95 Mini PC Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake-N95, 16GB DDR4 RAM 512GB NVME SSD Win11 Pro Mini Computers, 4K UHD Triple Display, 2.5G LAN, USB-C, 4*USB 3.2 Gen 2 Ports

Bought the E3 w/ N150. Clean upon start up and seemed bloatware free, but reimaged anyway. No problems, license obtained automatically from MS. Overall speed very good for basic home use, browsing, documents, spreadsheets, etc. Certainly exceeded most older higher end CPU's, mainly due to higher clock rate, newer memory and SSD. This is really all anyone needs for a basic home PC. Plenty of ports, well positioned, no cable conflicts. Support site is adequate, has all drivers there, all with batch file installs, organized well. However, models change often, so be sure to download all drivers after purchase, as they may not be there one day, and are not likely to ever be updated. Without driver updates, expect 2-3 years of support only. Documentation quite poor, but adequate if you are an experienced user. No conflicts with monitor, keyboard, mouse, USB devices, network, hence base drivers work fine. A great price point for upgrading a basic home PC.

This mini computer (N150, 16G, 512G SSD with Win 11 preloaded) is to replace another mini I bought 4 years ago that windows 11 update killed it off. This mini comp had a coupon for $50 off and that made the deal worth buying. Having the other accessories like KB mouse and portable monitor pretty much made this virtually plug and play. One of the main reasons to buy this particular model (besides the good price and good specs) was that it could power up and display to a monitor through just one cable USB-C connection. I am not sure if this is thunderbolt 3 or 4 connection, but it works. I can run most the apps I need and also play Startrek Online MMO. I like to use a mini computer instead of a laptop when I travel, it is easy to setup to play online board games (boardgamearena) with my spouse while the other is playing on the desktop. There only a couple of small complaints I have but not enough to ding a star.1- The power input is a 12V DC round plug, I wish it was a USB-C power input.2- The USB-C display port is on the front and I would rather have it on the back next to the other HDMI ports.

I bought the Bosgame Mini PC E3 16GB/512GB for $159.99 with a $30.00 coupon, for a net $129.99.The little PC is powered by an Intel N150 low power process. The performance is reasonable, and capable of decent office and home use cases. I set mine up running Ubuntu Linux and run a dedicated Minecraft server on it.I was disappointed that the NVMe drive is only on a PCIe 3.0x1 port. This leaves a lot of performance on the table, even at PCIe 3.0 speeds, but for my use case, it's not a huge loss. It would have been nice to see x2 at a minimum, but preferably x4 speeds here.Networking is 2.5Gb ethernet, which is a nice plus. transfers are plenty speedy. The pc has dual HDMI for those needing multi-monitor support and lots of USB, including 2 USB 10Gbps, 2 USB 5GBps and 1 USB-C that supports 4K/60 video.One item I would have like to see on this little PC is a built-in power supply. More mini PCs are starting to include them, and it would be nice to not have so many wall warts. (Amazon sells cool 8 inch extension cords to help fit them all into your power strips!)

My Lenovo Thinkpad X1 laptop died and I replaced it with a newer one, but now and then I still had a need to boot up the old dead machine to look up files and information that was too hard to pick out of a hard drive backup.So I bought this mini PC and swapped out the included NVMe drive with the one from my Thinkpad and it booted right up to my old desktop without any issues! This made it really easy to access stuff just like my old laptop hadn't croaked.Most importantly it works with the Lenovo USB-C Dock Gen 2 so you only have to plug a single USB-C cable into the front port (no power supply needed!) and you can power the Mini PC and utilize the dock's monitors, mouse, and keyboard working. This makes it SUPER easy to use.I did notice dual monitors don't work on Windows 10 (from my old laptop's SSD) and only Windows 11 (included with the Mini PC, but not a legitimate licensed copy) did. So for Windows 10 maybe expect single monitor output only.But there is one HUGE caveat:It's a well known problem that these mini PCs come preloaded with viruses and may have viruses at the UEFI level, meaning a hard drive format won't remove them. They also don't come with real versions of Windows 11. So I use this machine in an air-gapped way; it's NOT on the network and I never use it with a USB drive. I opened it up and removed the WiFi card as well, and my dock does NOT have the Ethernet port connected to anything.It's strictly for read-only use; for visually checking things out on the old drive and if I need files, I can figure out where they are located and then pull files from a separate backup drive. As I get ramped up on the replacement laptop I'll probably use Mini PC this less and less. But it's been useful for bridging that gap.For this very narrow and specific use I think this is a great product. But I absolutely wouldn't trust it for any other application other than operating in a fully offline environment. Don't use it for online banking or anything serious and just assume it's been completely compromised.

This is my fourth mini PC. As older laptops and/or desktops need replacing I have turned to these mini PC's. Typically, these are in applications where they are tied to a TV via HDMI. Add a wireless mouse and keyboard and you are good to go at a pretty significant savings. This one, for example, is connected to a powered USB hub with seven drives with about 30 TB of video and audio files. Its HDMI output is to an HDMI distribution amp which sends the signal to a monitor and four TV's or AV receivers. That's a lot of stuff to hang on a tiny little box, but it all works perfectly. The solid-state drive and generous RAM means that it boots very quickly and runs cool. Streaming 4K video is flawless. I calculate that when compared with buying four conventional laptops or desktops I have saved from $1200 to $2000. That's worth five stars in my book!
