Great for Astro photography. Able to remote in and control the computer, mount and camera from the comfort of the house. Looking forward to using it this summer in the field.

I bought this in conjunction with a NAS for streaming content across my home network, this works like a charm! I would buy again should the need ever arise.

I've been using this for a month as a streaming tv box on a projector. It's been fantastic. I did change a few settings and stop some unused services(OneDrive) but mostly it was ready to go after the initial setup and update.It beats all the purpose built tv sticks I've had and a raspberry pi in compatibility with websites and apps.It works well with my Bluetooth speakers and a mini keyboardair mouse completes the setup.It just does everything I need it to do. Highly recommended.

Easy to install, and works faster than my laptop.

Plugged it in and then spent 3 hours downloading windows updates that you can't stop. Go microsoft. I found that the device wants to use the TV's native 4k resolution which "does" work but is not ideal. I finally switched the resolution down to 1080p which was much more stable. If you are streaming tv shows off websites and such and they aren't 4k this won't matter to you. But if you do want 4k then I would suggest mining a small desk based media pc for your tv that has a heftier onboard GPU to do the 4k video and has a bit more ram/cpu to move around with. Windows 11 is a massively poor choice for such a small device and with it being the bloatware ridden version that it is its too bad it can't come with Enterprise LTSC because its stripped bare except for a browser which would almost undoubtedly work and run better. The best feature is the sound running through my tv which BT pairs with my sound bar so no extra cables or BT pairing was needed. This isn't for games, don't run any type of visual screen saver, and stick to just stream mid resolution movies or content. Don't attempt 8k, and uninstall every possible app from windows that it doesn't need to run video and you'll be better off. Also I miss ordered and got the 4GB model instead of the 8GB or the new one with bluetooth 5. People that say they run editing software, graphics, games are full of it. It doesn't, it will manage to run web content and barely at that, Although I suppose that means yes it will run office 365 since it is all web based so for a half terrible work pc I do suppose it would work for that.

This is my second MeLE computer and I'm very pleased with it. It's connected to my TV and controlled with a simple wireless mouse. Using the computer settings, I enlarged the mouse arrow and set it for contrasting color.Because the computer has an on-screen keyboard, you can type in a password or numbers, and don't need to buy a wireless keyboard - a pleasant feature that I don't remember seeing.The only problem is that the male end of the HDMI cable that comes with it, has a center strip that is too thick, so can not fit with any HDMI socket. Luckily, I had another similar cable, but most people would not.

I occasionally need a Windows machine to run some windows only software, and rather than running a virtual machine, I thought I'd break down and buy an actual Windows machine.I wasn't expecting this to be a super powerful game machine or server and it isn't. It's just a nice little desktop Windows machine. Small, portable, with reasonable performance and enough memory and sold state disk to make it useful. As an example, this PC works well with Zoom, but don't expect anything more than the basic background, or filters. It just lacks the processing power for the fancier effects.This model shipped with Windows 10 Pro, and per the manufactures recommendation, I allowed it to self-update to Windows 11 Pro. All of the questions I had and the information I needed were addressed on the manufactures website.I'm happy with this purchase, it is just what I wanted.

The photos may lead you to think that it's the size of a flash drive but it's more like a chocolate bar (box of M&M's / Smarties). It weighs only 157g / 5.5oz with the included HDMI extension cable. Add 140g / 4.9oz for the official charger -- which you should use because it outputs at 3 amps. (Many USB chargers are only 2A.)Windows 11 updates are painfully slow. Often the percentage completed hardly changes with the CPU pinned to 100% but now it's running fine. (Being fan-less, it DOES get hot...but still cool enough to hold -- even during W11 updates.) The eMMC is fast enough for me -- reading 303 MB/s max. 256GB was large enough for travel purposed (Win25611 took up ~56GB) so I didn't even need to use a MicroSD.No problems with HDMI or Audio Out for sound as one other reviewer mentioned. (Perhaps the wrong audio output was selected?)

Bought this to connect with 75in TV. It has Win11 Pro, going to take some time to get to know new interface. Might grow on me! Downloaded the Win11 reinstall image from manufacturer in case I need to ever reinstall Win11. It runs very warm, I measured it at 57'C! Added a wireless keyboard (IOGEAR GKB635W Wireless Smart TV Keyboard) with track ball and it makes a good Internet PC. Loaded a few other programs that are working well. Uninstalled a lot of the useless Microsoft apps. It starts up as an administrator account, you will need to add a standard user account for everyday use. Windows update worked well and is at current level!On the whole this is a pretty good little PC especially for the price.

I must have gotten a dud or something after reading other's great reviews. My old chromebook i bought used for $12 is faster and more useful than this thing even not being windows. At least it can do anything browser related without problems.Before even turning it on I was very disappointed that it comes with a huge block of an AC power adapter that it apparently requires. This is no where in its description. It says it is powered by USB and nothing more. That alone makes this purchase null for me as the whole point was running from USB outlets.Since I had to open it in order to find this out, I figured I might as well see if the rest of it is okay. It took me over an hour to get my keyboard and mouse to pair with it and the mouse would not scroll, so that was annoying and will make my work almost impossible to do that i bought it for. Also the mouse is crazy slow even on the fastest speed. I have to pick the mouse up and move it over 2-3 times to get across the screen.After that i went to the updates. Nothing out of the ordinary there aside from nearly two hours of updates from a brand new Windows 11 computer. That seems a bit much considering my home internet is very fast.By this point the stick was so hot i could barely touch it without it burning my fingertips.After all updates done and restarting, etc. I was like, okay, lets do some basic things to see how it functions. Holy crap was it slow. Just clicking on the start menu took anywhere from 10-20 seconds to come up after clicking. 30-40 seconds to load just the basic google search page. Every move you make is in slow motion with lots of waiting.I managed to finally get logged in to HBO Max to see how streaming a video was. (at this point i didn't have high hopes) Yea, it just can't do it.I was really hoping this would at least be on par with a super cheap basic laptop without the bulk since i already have the monitors and whatnot. Sadly it can't even run itself let alone putting anything else on it. I'm guessing that's why they slide in the stuff about not being able to return it because they know it's crap.In summary, just get a cheap used laptop, it will be better.
