Arrived very well packaged. Instructions are a bit sparse but adequate. Set up Windows 11 Pro using ethernet because of various comments about poor Wifi 6, speedily installed 21H2 which I then updated to 23H2. For such a small and (relatively) cheap unit the speed and performance is staggering. I don’t run games but everything else (web, Zoom, Office, email etc.) has simply worked extremely well. The Wifi 6 problem must have been fixed because I am getting faster speeds than on any other device, including a fairly new Asus i7 laptop with Wifi 6. BIOS (press Del when booting) allowed Auto Power On to be set and F7 gave access to the boot order menu, none of which is covered in the instructions. I’ll use it plugged into the back of my main TV, using an Android mobile as a webcam for Zoom but it really is far more capable than this. It simply works and works very well.
The reviews here seem to be for various different specs. The spec I chose was Ryzen 7 5800H with 32gb ram. Cost me 400 quid, and it even came with windows 11 Pro (although I replaced that with Ubuntu!). I defy anyone to find a better spec computer for this price! There is room inside for an extra ssd too, and plenty of USB connectivity plus two hdmi ports. Probably my favourite computer purchase ever .
There’s also room for a bigger SSD so you can switch up to a 2TB SSD if you wanted.
Set up is easy and pretty fast with the standard system options like languages, features etc, once that’s done Windows 11 Pro gets itself ready which only took a couple of minutes then I was presented with the desktop.
From there it’s just a matter of setting up your connection and getting all of the initial updates for Windows downloaded and the apps you’ll be using.
I’ve used it for a couple of hours for a few days on Edge browsing and playing some videos, setting up apps, downloading Windows updates etc, performance has been as expected which is not super fast but definitely fast enough for general use, it’s a very quiet machine even though this one has a built-in fan cooler as opposed to some other models that just have heatsinks, the only sound coming from it is like a whisper.
As a general use PC that’s relatively inexpensive, it’s pretty good! It’s not going to blow you away with the processing speed or anything but for someone that wants a cheap PC for casual computing with a good amount of storage, this is definitely a great option. The PC is also small enough to tuck away out of sight and also portable enough that it could be taken anywhere for use away from home
This Mini PC is nice and compact yet powerful. Its good for working from home with two screens.
I didn’t see any latency issues. I was able to connect my wireless mouse and keboard via bluetooth.Supports fast wifi speed which is important for working from home.
Its easy to set up and boot up quickly, and already comes with Windows 11 installed.
Able to remote into work with no issues. Good for watching youtube, checking emails too. However, I don’t think you will need better specs for gaming.
I am very impressed with how compact it is, so its good for travelling when you know you have access to monitors/TV.
At the time of review you can apply a 40 voucher so is only 159.99 which is great value.
I would recommend this.
It comes in a simple G4 box and is well padded so the pc unit is safe with the cables and instructions included.
The PC didnt take too long to set up, maybe half an hour with all the updates and signing in to different things. Once up and running I was able to check out the storage, speeds and data some of which i understood! I was impressed, for a little PC unit it has all the connections I personally need and If i wanted to expand I can just network it or add to a hub.
I am not 100% what its main purpose will be in the long run but for now we have connected it to the TV for gaming, It may be used for laser printing and used a workshop accessory.
Everything I needed was included in the box, I did struggle to find the wall mount, i did think it was missing but it was so slim it was just pushed against the side of the box, so be sure to have a good look and take everything out,
I feel it is great value for what you get and it seems to be a vary capable PC.
This computer very small and compact, perfect for those with limited space.
The computer is not great for gaming or programs that need high ram. useful for basic tasks like explorer and word document. The ram capacity is 16gb which is ok for basic tasks but causes issues for gaming.
The graphics are basic, and processor is lowest component available but this isnt an issue when you look at the price of this computer. Has alot of ports to use with multiple screens or devices
A great space saving mini computer that is very affordable, perfect as a first computer for a child or someone who needs it for simple uses.
This mini-pc is the sort of thing you would usually find attached to the back of a monitor in a classroom or meeting room. It’s basic, but does offer some decent specs so it will do more then just run PowerPoint.
I was a bit suspicious of those specs, so the first thing I did was take the back off to see what’s inside. This is easy, because the back is designed to be removable so you can get at the hard-drive caddy. There are four tiny screws to remove, and there’s a tab to help you pull the back off. Be careful, as the back comes off quite suddenly and has a tiny ribbon cable attached to it.
Inside, there really is an M.2 SSD drive and a single 165GB stick of DDR4 memory. There’s also a caddy for you to fit your own 2.5″ SSD, adding additional storage. This is a significant improvement over the cheapest mini-PCs, which use flash drive cards for storage.
I didn’t delve any further inside. On the outside we have four USB 3.0 ports – two on the front and two on the back. There’s also a headphone socket, an Ethernet LAN port and two HDMI sockets. This is useful for a PC that’s going to be used for presentations – one socket for the user’s notes, and one for the projector / main monitor that the presentation is displayed on.
The supplied Operating System is ambitious for a modest machine like this, but is the one most people are familiar with. With that said, it does everything a machine like this should do – which is Internet surfing, media playback and streaming, and productivity. This is all dependent on you owning and installing the appropriate software. It’s fair to say that you can achieve exactly the same using a Linux-based OS, and I might just try that.
It’s difficult to know who this PC is for. If you are a casual user who is going to use it as your main PC, you’ll need a monitor (although you can use your TV), a keyboard and mouse, and software. You can buy a much more portable laptop with similar specs and built-in screen and keyboard for a similar price to this mini PC.
It’s far better suited to a person like me, who already has a main PC and wants a basic machine to run additional tasks. It would be ideal for running a NAS, or as a media-streaming machine at the center of a home-cinema system. It’s perfect for a teaching or training environment. I’m using mine to run a small CNC machine which winds coils for guitar pickups. I have a 7″ touch screen connected to it, which is all it needs.
This sort of mini-pc is also great for people with complex flight-simulators, as it can run the software to drive the instruments.
Overall, a good choice if you know a mini PC is the right solution for your needs.
This is a Mini PC with a 12th Generation Intel Alder Lake-N100 Processor.
It has a 16GB storage but you can add more if needed. It can be connected to 2 HDMI ports.
It has Bluetooth so can be connected to a printer
You get the Mini PC, good instruction manual, a wall mount Bracket, 2xHDMI Cables, and a power adapter. It also comes with a 1 year warranty.
It is great for every day use when space is short, or if you need to run more than 1 machine.
It’s a great purchase, would recommend.
The TRIGKEY mini PC is a great find for our use. The spec is decent for general home use, going on the internet, zoom, YouTube and using office applications. The speed so far seems very good and it connects well to my Wi-Fi but bear in mind this is not a gaming PC for your more modern games. The best part is how compact it is and I haven’t yet but I intend on mounting this on the wall behind my monitor which is perfect for our home as we are compromised on space. I paired this with a wireless keyboard which was less than 15 on Amazon and a monitor and wireless mouse I already had with no problem. Windows 11 runs very well and booting up is speedy and so far I’ve used it at length without it feeling hot or overworked. Great piece of kit for the price.
This computer is extremely small in form factor. You can think of this as a laptop without a screen and input devices. This makes it very handy for home set ups and allows more desktop real estate to work with.
The computer will not be good for gaming or high thread/ram taking programs. I would only use this for web surfing and word processing and other office based programs. The ram capacity is 16gb which is plenty for intensive basic tasks. The SSD is m.2 nvme which is one of the fastest storage medias you can get which is very impressive for a computer at this price.
The processor is the lowest component here but more than enough to handle day to day tasks. The graphics is integrated into he processor which is the case for many laptops so don’t expect high end graphics processing with this machine.
A huge range of ports is also great to see as this helps versatility and can cope with multiple screens.
A great space saving mini computer that is very affordable.
I love this mini PC. It is small and quiet, Windows 11 works great on it, and so far, it seems to be doing everything I wanted it to do. I mainly use it to run Office applications, and it is super fast. But more than that, it was the perfect companion for web browsing, media consumption, Zoom and Google Meets meetings. The build quality is very good, and it has a sleek design and a really powerful hardware configuration. It was super easy to set up and took only a little space on my desk. Overall, I was very impressed with this mini PC and highly recommend it. Excellent value, and the configuration and performance were exactly as described.
the desktop works well, is not a gaming PC and it may struggle to run latest heavy games but I still can smoothly play games that require 1gb video, is more suitable for daily activities, office work, perfect for school use. I left it to run continuously for a full night and it doesn’t get hot at all. By now, every time started very quickly and it came preinstalled with windows 11 which has a nice interface and it is easy to use
having a very compact design and being very lightweight is super easy to carry wherever needed as long as an access to a monitor or a tv is possible. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices as keyboard and mouse can easily be connected straight to the pc. The connections are stable and works with no problems.
Generally, perfect for day to day use an school. Price could be lower, with a bit of research, the same specs can be found cheaper on amazon.
This PC runs windows 11 pro and is fast enough for day to day use yet is tiny. It requires a monitor that has HDMI input or a cable with that at one end as this PC doesn’t have a VGA socket for monitor input only HDMI.
You then need a keyboard and mouse and possibly a Bluetooth speaker as that is the simplest way to get sound from it.
On booting it up it demands a Microsoft account be used but if you boot it up without internet initially being added and just create a local account. Then you do not need the Microsoft account.
Once you set up the local account you can choose to either use password or not. It depends on where and for what it will be used whether you think it needs one.
I added Firefox browser to it and also open office sourceforge since I do not want to go down the basic office or free trial followed by payment path using it’s installed office software. There is antivirus software included and firewall.
The PC is fast at starting up and the browsing both via it’s installed edge browser and Firefox are speedy.
I am very impressed with it and think it’s a very good alternative to pricier PC laptops which though don’t require monitor are less flexible in use as this can be linked to a small monitor or large and as it has Bluetooth also can connect via that method and this makes it have phone capabilities along with those of a computer. It paired easily so I was able to play videos on it with sound.
Update: I gave another chance to this pc, and by using the hdmi cable that was included with the pc and hooking it up to another monitor, I managed to get signal. After setting up the pc, I was able to try it. Well it’s a basic pc. The intel n100 is the spiritual successor of celeron series from before, and it shows. You need to be patient with this machine to boot up completely, and after that you get usable speed as long as you don’t push it to it’s limits. Occasional stutters occurs even by just opening file exlorer or such simple tasks, but it remains usable. One annoying thing is which is not the fault of the machine, but windows 11 is that since 2022 you need to have a microsoft account in order to set up the pc for the first time. There is a workaround if you do your research there is a way. All in all considering the price you can get a nice space saver pc that would be great for many as long as the tasks are not too demanding.
I wanted to try this mini pc but unfortunately I was unable to. I tried this pc with 2 monitors I use on a daily basis, so I’m positive the monitors work perfectly (in fact I’m writing this review using one of those monitors). I tried both hdmi port on the pc, with both monitors, a cable of my own, that again I know for a fact that works…but no signal is sent out to the monitors. So if nothing else, quality control is not very good with this company.
The pc itself would be a cheap computer designed for light tasks such as browsing the internet or sending a few emails. It’s also good for displaying content on a tv screen for example, there is even an included vesa mounting system with which you can fix the computer to the back of the tv. so it’s perfect for showrooms for example, where no interaction is required and only content is displayed. And of course it can be used for almost anything a computer can be used for just don’t expect raw processing power for this much.
Small, unobtrusive and space saving.
Keyboard and monitor not included.
Intel 12th Alder Lake-N95 Processor
Bluetooth enabled.
Not much storage, but is expandable.
Ideal for home office or entertainment purposes.
This is for a gift and the recipient will be really pleased.
I`m using it as TV BOX for playing games on my TV, watch movies on the harddrive, and etc.
It works amazing- using it for just one day, but it`s sooo good!
I haven`t understood about the Windows licencense as I haven`t found any label on it, but it works ok and this is brilliant!
Thank you for the amazing product!

A reliable and efficient mini desktop computer for various computing needs.
A handy mini computer – in a mini case you get power button, 3.5 audio socket and two USB 3 ports on the front and two USB 3, two HDMI, one gigabit ethernet, kensington lock anchor and power input. As well as its power adapter, also included are one of each HDMI and USB A cables. The computer itself runs quite respectably, despite the size, and comes with Windows 11 Professional installed. I have had the computer connected to two monitors, keyboard and mouse and it runs well. I wouldn’t expect powerful games to run particularly well, or development environments, but otherwise there’s no problem with browsing etc. A very respectable computer for its size which even comes with a mounting bracket that can be easily attached.
