Now is the time... Well, now it's finally possible to switch to mini pc. Although it's the maximal configuration of what can be offered now, this mini-computer can actually replace my huge and voracious desktop pc. And it occupies virtually no space, consumes not more than 20 watts, and the main thing is it's absolutely silent!
Package from EGlobal from Aliexpress. Well the Chinese are great! Bravo!
It took just a week.
All is packed very well.
A flash usb as a gift. Some Intel drivers are there. Maybe I'll need them some time.
Red broom is a gift for my kitty. Just kidding.
Aerials for wifi and bluetooth. 12 V adapter. European plug.
All the images here are clickable. JFAC.
Audio input and output; five USB sockets (mouse, keyboard, monitor hub, hard-drive adapters), two outputs for monitors (HDMI and VGA). One Gbps network socket, SD reader.
On the bottom there are ventilation holes. On the top right there's a place for SSD. So one can have two SSDs: one small mSATA and one 2.5-inch SSD. For example, I'll have 128 GB for system and programs, and 500 GB for pictures, music etc, except movies.
It shines from inside.
It's quite small really.
Next, sysinfo & benchmarks.
Any advice regarding Passive Trip Points? Do I need it? JFAC I turned it on, also lowered limits of Critical Trip Pt.
Well, they say in advance, this Windows is not completely genuine ;)
This is without load: HDD 41°С, CPU 32°С.
Now the heater mode :)
Well, I'm not going to burn it, am I? Of course it's possible to burn even an iron. Let's wait with that.
Ta-da! Benchmarks!
BTW why the RAM is slower? Than in the desktop. Also 1600, all the same... Maybe because it's one piece, not two?
AES is fast indeed. Because it's built-in indeed.
And this is 7zip benchmark:
Originally the 128 GB disk was partitioned into 31½ и 96 parts. I got rid of hiberfil and other rubbish, now it has 20 GB free.
Here's the benchmark figures, if you need to copy them :D

OK I think I can write the link here too. aliexpress.com/store/217312. There are also a couple of other sellers there, go and see and compare. Good luck! Ah a good review on another model: testim.in.ua hystou-fmp03-i5 (in Russian).
That's all Folks!
