My Computer: The Infernal Machine Let me tell you; I've had my PC since the days when 56k dial-up was the pinnacle of connectivity. But even my first beige behemoth never managed to do what my last one did – become a certified fire hazard (luckily the fire department professionals were able to douse the flames and only leave a mild set of scorch marks where it used to stand). So, there I was. Homeless in the digital sense. And as a dedicated remote worker fiercely committed to my mouse-jiggling regimen, my lack of a 120lb computer was a bigger threat to my paycheck than a power outage. Hence, Amazon Prime became my knight in shining armor. Or at least, the delivery driver did. Enter the AWOW Mini PC. It's smaller than a breadbox with the weight of a chunky chihuahua. Frankly, it looked like a fancy paperweight. But let me tell you, this little guy had a sting. Plus with Amazon Prime (and having a distribution center right up the road) I got almost same day delivery {which I needed like another hole in the head ASAP or else my boss would dock me some pay). The Setup: When Expectation Met Reality Now, my old tower was the kind of rig enthusiasts drool over. RGB lights, custom liquid cooling setup – the works. Setting it up was a day-long affair. But this new mini-PC? Plug and play. Which was simultaneously a relief and an insult. I mean, where's the challenge? Where's the opportunity for me to complain about insufficient instruction manuals? It's also frighteningly quiet. No reassuring whirl of fans that screamed "I'm expending massive amounts of power!" So, naturally, my paranoid, fire-traumatized self was certain this would go one of two ways: It wouldn't work at all. It would combust with the intensity of a small star. Thankfully, it was neither. A (Surprisingly) Fiery Performance This tiny terror boots up faster than I can make a decent cup of coffee. Suddenly, the software I use for "work" launched smoothly enough to make me question if I'd somehow fallen into an alternate dimension. My spreadsheets ran without stuttering, my video calls were crisp, and most importantly, I was able to install the latest versions of Microsoft Teams and Slack without issue. My mouse jiggled merrily, fooling the powers-that-be into believing I was paying rapt attention to whatever corporate jargon was being thrown around. After getting those essentials set up, it continued to look like I was online – bonus points for my boss hardly noticing I was MIA during the fiery PC inferno interlude. The most shocking part? It didn't try to spontaneously ignite. Sure, it gets a little warm – chihuahua-after-a-zoomies warm, not surface-of-the-sun warm like my old PC. Buyer Beware: It Might Do Your Job Better Than You The AWOW is frighteningly capable. It may be tiny, but it has the tenacity of a honey badger with a toothache. The downside? It makes me look incompetent. I went from barely scraping by to having time left over at the end of the day. If the boss notices, she may start expecting me to, you know, actually be productive. The horror! The Verdict This mini PC is a demon in disguise. It has speed, storage, and connectivity that shouldn't be legal for its weight class. It's even suspiciously quiet and fire-resistant. Honestly, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, I'm sure there's a catch… like it's building a sentient AI army inside that compact case. If the robots take over, you know who to blame. Until then, I'll be begrudgingly enjoying the productivity boost while keeping a wary eye on it.

I bought this purely for gaming because I never bought one before. I had trouble with my Xbox and was thinking about replacing it. But I had several of those and I had several PS systems. I found this give you the best of both worlds and actually access to even more games. I also found some surprises I did not know about. One of them beings how it instantly was able to hook to my phone without me even trying to do it. That was a huge plus and all the programs run more efficiently than all my laptop that I've always been using.

Pretty impressive for the performance of this machine. Pay no attention to the review that has slow download speed as it had nothing to do with this mini-pc. As for the price it's pretty impressive to include a windows 11 pro license as well as the specs. I'm not using this as a gaming machine but a worker. It will manage to handle several virtual machines and containers doing many great things for optimizing my cloud needs (effectively replacing my Google photos). Being this is a pro windows box, it does allow full remote desktop and administrative items that are valuable to those with a home lab. The only downside is that I feel it has some room to grow in the BIOS where it has secure boot enabled by default causing issues with dual booting Linux. This of course is geek talk. If you are looking for a gaming PC, I would look elsewhere as this has great CPU, RAM, and HDD but for gaming the money is spent on the graphics card and this is standard graphics

So far, so good. Just fired it up yesterday and it seems to work just fine. It looks like a good quality build that's quiet and only gets slightly warm. I think it's a good value for the features, storage & RAM.

I purchase a lot of computers and tech equipment for our office. This mini pc runs more like an i5 with 8GB RAM than an i9. You are better off purchasing an 8th Gen i7 SFF than this thing.

Small conpact, memory is good , so far acting good and faster then my laptop.

I have to take a moment to say that this is a great little computer. It does everything I need it to do and does it quietly and relatively fast. I have had the opportunity to interact with the customer care team on two different occasions, and I have to say that it has been a delightful experience each time. They are professional, respectful, and prompt. The only downside to the computer is that the method of VESA attachment to the back of my monitor was not possible. I may be able to purchase a mounting plate to attach it to the screw mounting points on the monitor and the computer chassis.

Good workhorse for the price. Its FAST. Dual wired Ethernet ports may be very handy. Lots of USB3 ports. The 3rd monitor uses a Display Port - you may need a conversion cable to connect to an HDMI monitor.
