Great Little Machine

It has great performance and is easy to set up. After connected with my spare monitor, I can watch youtube and browse website. Quantity of picture and sound is good than I expected. Highly recommend it as a music and video streaming box. It works well for basic data processing, small and convenient to travel with and significantly reduces footprint on computer desk.All in all ,thats a great product, It deserves to be recommended!

Amazing mini pc

I am not a big fun for computer don’t have a lot of knowledge for them. I just need one for fun. My friend recommended this brand mini pc for me. For less than 200 Dallas I made a purchase to try it out! When I received I couldn’t believe how small it is. As soon as I got it, I connect with my television. Use my wireless mouse to play around. Wow, started so fast. Working so smooth and very little noise. But so adorable. Now it is like my new toy. I use it for shopping, watching movies, playing games. It is small but powerful and portable. Sometimes I carry it to my parents house to do my own thing! This is my first mini pc. It is really impressive!

Great Intel Mini PC - Quad Core, 4GB RAM, 4K Media Center

I have to say i am surprise by this mini PC. It is serving my 4K Media content over the Network. I am running plex server, and this little monster can trans-code 4K content just fine. It comes with Windows 10 loaded on the unit. It has 4GB RAM to keep up with the daily tasks, plus media streaming like Netflix, Youtube to name the few. You can also run Kodi on it if you want. ACEPC AK2 mini PC does what it is built to do. It hooks up to a TV with HDMI. Pros: - Intel Celeron J3455 - Quad Core (4 cores). - Ability to add 2TB Internal Hard drive storage. - 4GB RAM, 64GB Flash Storage. - Only uses 15 Watts or less when idle. - Can be use as NAS. - I/O Specifications: Designed with 2 x USB 2.0 ports,2 x USB 3.0 ports ,1 x Gigabit Ethernet port,1 x Micro SD Card port,2 x HDMI port support Dual Display.

Nice Performane with This Mini One

I always thought I’ve had more than enough computers for home use and when it comes to the demand for additional screens as a byproduct of more kids getting older. While the most comment solution out there is a touch screen device, most commonly, an iPad. But the worry is also obvious that kids can hardly control the distance between the eyes and screen. In addition, it is hard to control the content they’re watching and there is so much negative information on the Internet. With the already existing TVs at home, I just feel it is not cost effective to get new Pads. So I figured I just need a computer streaming to each TV sets via WIFI by a bunch of Chromecasts I have. The old computers I stored all turned out have some issues that I was in need of a new one but I don’t want to invest much either. As the first try, I tried some Raspberry Pis from work but it turns out not sufficient for video streaming purpose limited both by the hardware and the OS. I was aware of such mini PC device by some randomly videos on YouTube seems to be a good choice with the minimum amount of cost that I decided to give it a try. It comes much smaller and lighter then I expected, even lighter than an iPad I assume. My assumption was confirmed as it only weighs 370.41g (see one of the photos uploaded). The device is pretty much ready for use out of the box with the Win10 pre-installed. The only modification I did was 256GB SSD. Then I tried with Netflix and it runs pretty well and my goal is easily achieved that the kids can now watch the under my control. With an investment of less than 200 dollars, I could not be more satisfied. Another application I was looking for is with the combination of the USB3.0 port and a dual HD station for a simple NAS for photo and video storage to make it eventually a hub of a home media center. A transfer rate of ~500MB/s was achieved.

Great Little PC and Excellent Customer Service

The initial delivery was dead on arrival, would not power up. The seller confirmed it was dead and Amazon shipped a new unit the same day I reported it defective, I received it the same day it was shipped, Great service from both the seller and Amazon (5 star service from them alone). In comparison to my previous Windows 10 mini PC which was an Intel i3 4030 chip running at 1900 MHz, speed of 1.96 GHz with 8 Gig of RAM. The ACEPC GK1 runs rings, speed wise, around the older unit. The ACEPC unit came pre-loaded with the latest version of Windows 10, no other bundled software came with it. Power on is very quick. Initial Windows 10 setup was easy, less than 30 minutes. The initial Microsoft System update consisted of about 6 updates, they downloaded and installed in less than 15 minutes. My older system would have probably taken 45 minutes for the same task. The unit configured easily to my home WIFI, monitor and Bluetooth keyboard/mouse. In general, I am very please with the ACEPC GK1 thus far. I will followup with more information if I find anything worth passing on, after I load it up with more apps. This is a very powerful little PC for the cost, impressive thus far. It looks classy with the recessed/reflected blue lighting.

Small, really convenient

I ordered this computer not exactly expecting such a great machine. I purchased it for the lack of size, good content of abilities & low price. I was not expecting this much. I am most impressed with what I have been encountering in it's abilities, so far. It took a bit for it to upgrade, but, the wait was worth it. It may only offer 6gb/64gb, but one has the ability to flip a switch and add a blank SATA. I'm sure it was covered in the product description, but, just after I had it upgraded, not only did I find myself very impressed, I also found myself ordering a 1tb 2.5 SATA drive.

Cost-efficient solution for scientific data acquisition with moderate load

Well, I bet my review will be significantly different from other users because of the unique application I found with this mini PC. It was originally bought for the streaming of video to a projector I got earlier for my little daughter. Then I talked to a colleague who mentioned such a small device can be used for some scientific tasks with not very intensive data acquisition (DAQ). I think it is worth to try as it saves money and people in the academia all know about the current funding situation. One difficulty is indeed the 32GB eMMC disk space which was about totally consumed after one single Win 10 home update right after I turned on the machine. The disk space left is insufficient for the installation of the LabVIEW. So I reached out the tech support of the company to discuss the potential solutions. After some communications, the engineer suggested installing an SSD; cloning the eMMC system imaging to the SSD; then change the start-up sequence first with the SSD. I dug out an old 256GB SSD from a retired old laptop and proceeded following the suggestions. It works out pretty well that I was able to get all software including LabVIEW, NI-MAX, Dropbox, Acrobat Reader, and chrome etc. (I just noticed they now have a 64 GB version now, an SSD may not be necessary if going the newer version.) After setting up the machine, I was able to run my LabVIEW VIs immediately on the mini PC. I used it to control a heater controller driving 3 heating tapes up to 1500 W with multiple point temperature monitoring and feedback to maintain the process temperatures at a user-defined constant setting. The communication between the mini PC and the heater controller is established via a USB-to-RS485 converter. I attached a photo showing the setup in my lab and the VI running interface. The mini PC has been running stable for a little more than two weeks now. I am pretty satisfied with its performance. In addition, comparing to a typical PC workstation used in the lab easily costs 1-2k at least, its price is only about 10% Although it is probably still not powerful enough to run high-speed DAQ for the scientific tasks. I think it is more than enough for such slow control task with not quite demanding data rate. The advantages of cost-efficient and small size make me consider using it for the slow control for my future experiments. As a scientist, I would highly recommend it for moderate load DAQ tasks such as slow control or room temperature monitoring. Other normal home application such as video streaming should be trivial.
