UPDATE: It is now a little over 2 months from when I purchased and started using this. I had some sort of update overnight and when I turned on my computer, after entering my passcode, it gave me an error that my "user profile failed to load" and my main screen looked liked a fresh install with hardly any apps on there. I couldn't open Notepad, Word, and none of my auto logins were working. My files were still there that I had added recently. I rebooted twice. I was still having issues even after logging back into my Windows and Google accounts, and it appeared to still be updating Windows, so I let it run the update in the background for another 10 minutes, then shut computer off and rebooted one more time. At that fourth boot, everything came back up looking normal. My classic windows shell was back, my background and regular screen saver were back, my icons on my desktop were in their correct spots. It was very weird. My advice to you is disable automatic windows updates when you first get this, and just try and remember to do those regularly at a time that suits YOU, so you don't get your work schedule impacted by a random update. Don't immediately panic if you wake up one day to what looks like a fresh install/brand new computer appearance. Let the computer percolate for 10-15 minutes, then turn off and reboot in safe mode or reboot several times until you get back to the regular working device you are used to. I will update how things are going with the system again at the end of 6 months. NOTE: I do carry this in a heavily padded bag with other devices when I travel for work frequently. So it does get plugged/unplugged, and wagged around a lot. Not sure if that affects it or not, but since it has 2 SSDs and a sturdy plastic shell, it should be impervious to bumps and knocks, especially since it is very well protected inside the bag.I'm a remote medical transcriptionist who also pet sits away from home. Why get paid for one job when you can get paid to 2 or 3 simultaneously?! I normally use a 17-inch laptop and a portable monitor when I travel, but recently I started getting the blue screen of death showing up on my laptop periodically. While it was still functional and I could transfer my programs from it, I decided to find a new device. The current crop of laptops were fairly pricey for the size RAM I wanted and most only have one or two USB connections now and I need at least 3, preferably 4. Also, some laptops have data only transfer on their USB-C connections so rather than deal with that I decided to check into mini PCs. This one had great ratings and I really liked the fact that I could increase it by adding an additional 2.5" SSD drive. It's super easy to do that. Just release a latch, slightly angle and insert your drive until it connects and seats into the slot. I know have a computer with two hard drives with an additional Terabyte of storage. It boots up lightning fast and I was able to download Windows, Word, and all my other applications with no issue whatsoever. I had cloned my laptop to the SSD, so upon booting it up for the first time my screen saver, settings, icons, etc. were already in place. I LOVE that it has two HDMI connections. I didn't think I needed that, until I started working at a facility where I needed to utilize TWO 24" monitors when I'm away from home and not able to use my 39" monitor. This KAMRUI mini PC weights next to nothing and it's just barely larger in diameter than a slice of sandwich bread. In addition to the two HDMI ports, it comes with 4 USB ports, a headset jack, and the power cord. It's so small and light, I'm now able to use it as a portable computer in place of my laptop and I just leave my laptop set up to work on when I'm at home. When I purchased it they were on sale for $130 and I see they are around the same price currently, so I'll probably invest in another one to clone my laptop to and keep on hand for when my laptop finally bites the dust, so that I can have fully functional workstations wherever I am and won't have to keep unhooking/rehooking things up every week or two.

I've had this for a handful of days now and so far no issues. It is very quick and responsive. Initial set up took a little while but that was because of all the Windows updates which you have to do with every computer. I'm using this as a HTPC (Home Theater PC) to run Plex for my movie and music collection. My previous mini PC was a Dell and it started displaying a blinking orange light which after google searches suggested the motherboard was shot. So, I did some research on the Kamrui and all reviews seemed positive so I decided to purchase it as it was relatively inexpensive. It had no problem recognizing my 8TB external HD with my movies and music collection (only half full) and it streams them without problems. My TV will not recognize the HD being directly connected as the storage capacity is too large, a common problem with TV's, hence the mini PC as a work around. Again, so far very happy with the purchase.I also picked up a iClever foldable bluetooth keyboard so when I change the input on the TV to the Kamrui, I can navigate around just fine. I went with this one as it had a mouse pad, there are several others available to choose from but this was one of the few with a mouse pad that was foldable (tested it with my cell phone and it worked with no problems, can also use it with a tablet). At first the Kamrui kept losing connection, I think it was becaue I had the PC placed behind the TV and also my bluetooth soundbar may have been interfering with the signal. As soon as I moved the Kamrui to the front of the TV, no more issues with the keyboard, so be aware of possible bluetooth issues depending on where you place the pc be it keyboard or headphones.
