Actually not bad for a windows fanless PC. The CPU was release in Q1 of 2023 and it contain only 4 efficiency core. The CPU idle clock speed is 100Mhz and it can ramp up to 3.40 GHz. At idle, the system consume around 8W and it can go up to 21W under load. This being said, it can’t really run any modern game properly. Even some less demanding game will suffer from stutter and FPS dropping to an unplayable level. Games that are 15 years old and more will play great. This PC is also able to handle retro console emulation pretty well. I was able to run everything from the Atari to the Wii U without any problem. PS2 emulation was actually surprisingly good. I really didn’t thought it would be able to handle that.
This PC is best suited for light computing task such as a Media Center with Plex, a Point of Sale, a thin client or even a machine for e-mails and web browsing. The best aspect is that this PC is fanless. Prior to this, I had a mini PC with a Celeron N5105. The N100 CPU is pretty much better in every way. My Celeron N5105 Mini PC wasn’t fanless. It wasn’t loud but I could hear it and it was very annoying when ever the fan ramp up. Having tried both CPU, I would rather pay more to get a N100 based PC.
In term of connectivity and expandability, this Mini PC is very minimalistic. It has 2 HDMI Port that can output 4k@60, 2 USB-A port, 2 USB-C port, 1 Gigabit Ethernet and 1 Headphone Jack. The USB ports are version 3.2. There is 8GB of LPDDR4x @ 4266MHz of Ram. This is not the fastest memory nor the highest capacity the N100 can support. Also note that the N100 only support Single-Channel memory so the use of LPDDR4x won’t significantly hinder GPU performance. After a clean boot, there is 4.35GB available. In term of SSD, there is 256GB. Both the RAM and SSD can’t be upgraded. The integrated GPU is the Intel UHD Graphics 730. This is a modest GPU even in Intel’s line up. Some Intel Desktop parts comes with the UHD Graphics 750.
Over all, it’s a well balanced system but it’s not the best the N100 platform can offer. It’s still good for lighter task. I’m using mine as a Plex Media Center. It’s perfectly capable and it’s silent. I’m also a big fan of the lower power consumptio
Premium looking with nice design touches like the cloth tag and textured surface. Small and completely silent. Setup was a breeze since Windows already comes installed. No need to open up the unit and mess with any components. Runs Google Chrome / Netflix / Youtube smoothly without stuttering or skipping. Overall, great performance for the asking price and an excellent companion for your living room TV.
Well priced for what it is. Functions as expected (a little slow but usable) and happy with the size and power requirements. The next level up is a bit faster and a little more expensive but there are coupons sometimes. I’ll be satisfied if it lasts a year or two of intermittent use. Much better than having to pack a heavy laptop.
This version came with a VESA-standard mounting plate that fit perfectly on the back of our kitchen PC. Also, it came with a USB-C enabled power supply. All that I added was a Logitech K400 keyboard. This PC works great, booted up instantly in Windows 11 and they keyboard/mouse activated automagically without me doing anything.
Arrived on time and as described. If you need a small PC, this is super small and it amazes me how they can fit so much in. Plus being fan-less, it is as quiet as a mouse. It sits behind my TV and does its job.
For reference it is about the size of a modern android phone, just thicker.
Lleg pronto, funciona muy bien, fcil de manejar, un gran plus que pueda energizar con bateras. El servicio postventa de MeLe puntual y expedito, que tambin es algo notable y muy til. Equipos confiables y bien hechos.
Didn’t ever even boot the supplied Windows install so can’t say anything about that. Wen’t for MeLe as test unit because they advertised Linux support. Can’t complain, works without hassle.
One does not realize how small this thing is from the pictures.
Inte kompatibel med Windows server 2022 Jttenjd med den till slut, lite dyr bara. Str som mediacenter nu, lite knepigt att f igng alla enheter. Har installerat Windows server 2022 p den. Storleken r fantastiskt, var inte alls beredd p hur liten den faktisk
Una maravilla de producto, muy fcil de transportar, no es un ordenador muy potente, pero cumple gilmente, en su memoria interna de 512 Gb un Windows 11, cabe perfectamente office 360, ms sql server, Dropbox , etc sin saturar o hacerse ms lenta , expandible mediante sd
Interestingly mine came with “Win 11 Pro” higher than what described here. After 3 weeks of use I can say that it’s working great. It’s a bit slower than a desktop PC or laptop, but this is expected from this CPU and memory type. It works seamlessly without any issue. It supports 4k display on a 50″ TV. I can confirm that it also plays 4K YouTube videos perfectly without any lag on video or audio unlike some other reviews that complained about lags etc. It perfectly worked with my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Win 11 was a bonus that really made it much more appealing.
Ich benutze das Teil als Smart-TV fr Streaming-Anbieter.
Windows ist runter geflogen, dann habe ich Linux Debian (wie vom Hersteller angepriesen) installiert. Das lief zunchst in der Basisinstallation ziemlich einfach und unproblematisch durch. Fr Office etc. wre das Teil dann sofort einsetzbar,
Dann ging allerdings der Sound ber HDMI nicht, liegt wohl an dem Linux und ist nicht die Schuld des Sticks. Gleiches gilt fr die Videoausgabe: unter Linux heftiges Tearing. Auch nicht die Schuld des Sticks. ABER: Debian wird ausdrcklich vom Hersteller als Linux System empfohlen und in einem Video angepriesen, aber es gibt keinen Hinweis zu ein paar Details – was ja sicherlich fr solche Basisfunktionalitten machbar und absolut sinnvoll wre. UND die Supportwebsite bzw. das Supportforum ist seit meinem Kauf bis heute (!) nicht erreichbar bzw. liefert eine Fehlermeldung. Das ist schon krass. Supportvermeidung oder Support eingestellt? Mir geht es nicht um ein Baby-Sitting fr die aberwitzigsten Linux-Specialfeatures oder Exotendistributionen, aber einen Hinweis wie man Sound ber HDMI raus bekommt, das sollte schon drin sein.
Die Probleme konnte ich dann mittels recht aufwendiger Netzrecherche dann noch beheben.
Ansonsten bin ich mit der Hardware super zufrieden, macht keinen billigen Eindruck, Performance fr mich ausreichend, die Hitzeentwicklung ist akzeptabel. Es gibt 4 Sterne (einen Stern Abzug wg. Nichterreichbarkeit des Supports).
Rezi lesenswert -> like da lassen. Danke!
I bought MeLE fanless computer for business to test my software on Win 11. The time between order and delivery was the best I have had for a web purchase. The product is excellent and runs straight out of the box. The only disappointment was Win11, enough said.
Cercavo un mini pc che fosse compatto, affidabile e senza ventola per far girare office, andare su internet ed eseguire programmi di base. Avevo gi acquistato un mini pc in formato “scatola”, ma devo dire che questo formato “stick” molto pi comodo da tenere, e soprattutto non si vede e non ha bisogno di essere appoggiato (essendo ancorato dietro al monitor tramite la porta HDMI).
Lo consiglio per chi non ha particolari esigenze!!!!
Es mi segundo pc stick. El primero lo traje de USA y pues porque me gust me compro otro reponiendo al primero que se me robaron . Me gusta porque cumple con lo justo, es portable y bueno ya lo veis actualizndose a Windows 11. Sigo sugiriendo a quien lo fbrica que debera sacar un dispositivo con usbc en vez de HDMI y de seguro sin el rj45 que ahora ya est en desuso. Este mini stick ms un monitor de 17 pulgadas tactil la pareja perfecta para un ordenador porttil moderno. Encantado con el producto
Una pasada. Lo tengo configurado para manejarlo a travs de la tablet.
La nica pega es que en casa se recalienta bastante, en el campo, sin problema.
This unit is a very small and “cute” device. The antenna for wireless (which provides very concise wireless signal) and the option of using the ethernet port is welcome.
If you are looking to use this a more in depth product, you will need a usb hub as you are limited in terms of availability of USB ports (2). The ability to password protect it is an awesome feature I expect from a first rate windows product.
Whilst this was an unknown brand to me, I believe that doesn’t matter if you have the functionality you need at the right price. The windows pro and response time is excellent. The ability to password protect it is an awesome feature I expect from a quality Windows product.
I can highly recommend this to people who want to work on the move. Carrying a micro computer around with a usb mouse, keyboard and HDMI cable for a monitor is all you need.
Flattened it on arrival and put on CentOS without the GUI (don’t forget BIOS Setting ->Chipset ->Common Function ->OS Selection ->Select Intel Linux) so can’t offer any comment on the graphics side. So far so good, runs cool and best of all no fan noise.
