    what can you really do with this pc - good enough for watching videos, and multitab surfing? (would a young teen find any use of it other than hurling it back at me?)

    • cyssero on 23/07/2019 - 23:25

      Should be fine for homework/assignments and content consumption. It would be worthwhile checking reviews for how well the fan operates and how loudly it may go.

      I have had Intel NUCs with much lower specifications that did fine for media playback.

    • LiMaaa on 23/07/2019 - 23:43

      It works fine and smooth for youtube, media, web surfing and light gaming; Agar.io, indie games, 8 bit style games, sonic ect. Forget anything newer or demanding, benchmarks show around 11 FPS using openGL (most modern games use this). It's snappy with a SSD about 12sec boot depending where you install OS.

      If your young teen hangs on the web all day, browses youtube, uses discord or chatting apps and does homework, office, google spreadsheets and light gaming it will be fine.

      @cyssero There is apparently a really light coil whine if the fan isn't running, when the fan goes it's a light humming(well fan sound) and masks the coil whine. Apparently it's not too bad. Some people prefer to just run the fan 24-7 instead of allowing it to shutdown in idle.

        No they don’t…

        • LiMaaa on 24/07/2019 - 00:42

          Sorry I meant "Most older games use opengl". Such as the quake series, Doom, Rage ect. Some newer titles also utilize openGL and my point stands. It's a benchmark, and if you're getting 11FPS on an openGL test, you aren't hitting many marks in the gaming division.

              So completely different to what you said, and a handful of games.

              I acknowledged I miss worded and meant older games?!

              Oh, please do enlighten us on these games that use OpenGL over Direct X/Vulkan that you could possibly use on this PC.

              Most older games by ID software use opengl. Anything that is running on linux or other OS uses OpenGL and some of the modern game engines (such as unity3d) can switch to OpenGL. Reference so you can brush up on your knowledge: https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/5544/aaa-games-a…

              Here is a title list of some popular games that some might consider playing on this PC but wouldn't have great success: https://www.giantbomb.com/profile/fini_fly/lists/notable-gam…

              No shit. No one would ever buy this expecting to play games on it, no matter what their marketing department would have you believe.

              You are 'Mod: removed' & incorrect. As their own advertising misleads Featuring Intel HD Graphics 500 GPU, all of this give you a full suite for gaming dominance

              It is very likely that someone unfamiliar with tech would assume this PC is capable as a gaming machine especially considering the misleading advertising. As such a user above questioned it's use for their young teen child which I would presume would involve gaming, so I did my best to inform them to the best of my knowledge what this PC is capable of. Regardless of the minor discrepancies I think I did a good job to help that user make an informed purchase.

              On the other hand your initial and following responses provide no information to clarify or help the user make a purchase, You don't even provide any information to correct me in my errors, you simply shit on my effort with half arsed pointless replies.

                It was downright wrong, but keep trying to claim it was ‘miss worded’.

                Gotta love someone moving the goalposts then referencing a page that’s nearly 9 years old, totally proves your point for sure. And you mean the Linux gaming community that in the last Steam survey had less than 0.8% market share?

                Here is a title list of some popular games that some might consider playing on this PC but wouldn't have great success: https://www.giantbomb.com/profile/fini_fly/lists/notable-gam…

                Such modern games on there (as you first claimed), the newest ones (Doom 2016 & Hitman 2) wouldn’t even remotely run on this as it’s far below the minimum specs for that game, plus Hitman 2 can’t even run natively on Linux and has to use Steam Play 2.0 to be able to be played on Linux.

                You are 'Mod: removed' & incorrect. As their own advertising misleads Featuring Intel HD Graphics 500 GPU, all of this give you a full suite for gaming dominance

                Haha wow, just had to go for the insults because you didn’t have an actual rebuttal to what I’d said based on your 100% incorrect statement that “most modern games use this (OpenGL)”. You then quote a ‘mystical’ OpenGL benchmark that gets 11fps, yet don’t even bother to mention what this benchmark is. Beyond useless.

                An actual worthwhile response from you would have simply been this:

                https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-500.182723.0…

                Or just not even bothering to mention OpenGL in the first place. Surprised you didn’t just mention DirectX 9 while you’re at it spouting redundant API’s.

                It is very likely that someone unfamiliar with tech would assume this PC is capable as a gaming machine especially considering the misleading advertising.

                Hence why I said “No one would ever buy this expecting to play games on it, no matter what their marketing department would have you believe.” Juki never even asked about gaming, then you make incorrect claims and get called out for it but can’t seem to handle it.

                On the other hand your initial and following responses provide no information to clarify or help the user make a purchase, You don't even provide any information to correct me in my errors, you simply shit on my effort with half arsed pointless replies.

                Hahaha hilarious. Your entire post was based off incorrect information (no modern games use OpenGL on its own, even your own links back that up) and quote a redundant API’s benchmark (and don’t even say the benchmark tool you’re referring to with claiming it only gets 11fps in it), yet somehow my response just saying you’re wrong that modern games mostly use OpenGL is half arsed and pointless when your entire post was 😂😂😂

                And then all you can do is personal insults, which just shows how desperate you were trying to backtrack on what you said. Again, might want to check your own links before claiming they back up what you’re saying.

    Sounds risky.
    Why not get a refurb ex-lease SFF Optiplex, HP etc off eBay? Similar price, much faster, still quiet and low power.
    And probably a whole lot more reliable.

    The "64GB eMMC + 128GB SSD" sounds suspicious. Why use eMMC if a larger real SSD is installed? Makes no sense.
    I hope it is not eMMC plus an SD card.

    full disclosure: I've bought a cheap mini-pc from banggood before and regretted.

      The "64GB eMMC + 128GB SSD" sounds suspicious. Why use eMMC if a larger real SSD is installed? Makes no sense.

      Board manufacturers usually include eMMC as default with the option of having an M.2 SATA SSD slot installed.

      You'll find this common in a lot of Chinese laptops. One smart way manufacturers take advantage of this like One Netbook/Voyo do is by having a copy of their drivers on the eMMC or use as a recovery drive.

      I hope it is not eMMC plus an SD card.

      OP linked a teardown. It's the real deal 😉

      Also, iirc, that 2200g system from Techfast was only 50 - 60 dollars more.

      Unless you need the form factor, I'd go for something with far better hardware. Can never have to much performance - not for the same price.

      I was thinking the same thing.
      At the $200 - $300 price range the first thing that comes to mind is the KNN computer deals that get posted here.
      Typically when the $299 specials come up you get…
      4th Gen i5
      256GB SSD
      8 GB Ram
      Win 10 Pro
      Free delivery

      Not uncommon for the ram or ssd to sometimes come as 16GB or 512GB.
      Way more bang for buck with small form factor refurbs.

      Just typed refurbished PC in eBay and this was the second result…

    Acute angle: an angle between 0 and 90 degrees
    Right angle: an angle equals to 90 degrees
    Obtuse angle: an angle between 90 and 180 degrees
    Straight angle: an angle equals to 180 degrees
    Reflex angle: an angle between 180 and 360 degrees
    Revolution angle: an angle equals to 360 degrees
