For those who missed out last time this good value Mini PC is back on sale. Be sure to stack it with 10% cashback at TopCashback for further savings.
This one features Windows 11 Pro, Intel N100 4c/4t CPU, Intel UHD Graphics, 16GB DDR4 SODIMM RAM, 512GB M.2 SATA SSD (w/ additional M.2 NVMe slot), 2x HDMI w/ 4K@60Hz support, 4x USB 3.1 5Gbps, Ethernet (Intel), WiFi ac (Intel), Bluetooth 4.0, 3.5mm audio jack and fan cooling.
After checking the UEFI/BIOS on mine, as well as the SSD and other components using signed firmware from the manufacturer nothing malicious was found.
As with all new computers I recommend doing a fresh install of Windows 11 via a USB flash drive. There's no malware concerns with this computer. Sooky commenters who are ignorant to the fact that everything is made in China can audit the code personally with these and do a proper clean install thanks to Look Up.
- Apply the coupon AUCF20 at checkout
AU$ based on current Mastercard rate and GST inclusive.
For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:
Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:
- Set the website currency to USD
- Checkout with PayPal
- Select your card with no international fees
- Click "See currency options"
- Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
- Proceed with checkout
Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.
So guessing you would leave it running 24*7, any heating issues with that ?
