MeLE Quieter3Q Wifi 5 Fanless Mini PC N5105 8GB 128GB Portable Computer Desktop 4K HDMI HDR Industrial PC Support NVMe M.2 SSD Dual WiFi Gigabit Ethernet PXE VESA Mount

Initially bought the 3Q 128GB version to replace multiple Raspberry Pi "servers" that I was running with a view to migrating everything to Docker on the 3Q. I put a 1TB WD Blue NVME drive in the 3Q and ignored the embedded 128GB eMMC. Not interested in the Windows 11 that was on it as shipped I installed Debian and Docker and now this one tiny PC runs my whole house. DNS, DHCP, Smarthome services, Smartphone reporting with Influx and Grafana, ad blocking, network tunneling, and anything else I can think of to put on it! Nothing that requires a lot of processing grunt as they aren't the most powerful devices but, it runs perfectly and keeps cool averaging 35C. But it is in the cool environment of my garage. I put so much on the 3Q I realised it was a critical single point of failure for my house so I got the slightly newer 3C as well during the recent sales as a backup device. The price point of these is now, I think, too high. The original 3Q I got for £210 and it's now up around £280! The 3C is nicer because you don't have to rely on the dedicated USB C 12v power supply that comes with the PC and can use a standard USB C power supply that supports PD. Apart from that the 3C is almost identical. As a small, low power consumption home server running Linux this can't be beaten and for anyone running lots of Raspberry Pi's like I was, I can't recommend this enough as a single device replacement. I now have four redundant Raspberry Pi 4s I think I might be able to make some money on to offset some of my Quieter PC investment! 🙂

Great mini pc for overnight imaging with my 6" diameter Newtonian telescope, see the image of IC1805 the Heart Nebula

It's about the size of an old cassette tape and it runs rings around every PC I ever owned. It fits on the back of a monitor so keeps your work area free. It runs windows 11 pro, which is sleek and fast. It has a lot of power for running multiple apps, but is quite happy running YouTube at 4k, if that's your thing. It plays Xbox games too. Buy it, be blown away when it is delivered to your door and you see how small it is, be blown away when you see what it can do. Be blown away at the price. Highly recommended.

This mini pc is a disappointment. It worked fine the first month and then it went down hill. It started with not even turning on when I pressed the on button, despite the light turning blue (which means on). So I would have to unplug it and plug it in again and then it turns on properly. This now happens once every five times I try to turn it on. So a waste of money

It is much better made than most of the cheaper mini pcs, with an aluminium case and a decent on/off switch. I also like that it has 4 usb sockets (as well as 2 hdmi which I don't use). I use it for astrophotography & it comfortably runs all the software I use such as sky atlas, sequencing, guiding etc but I really don't like how fussy the power management is. I like to have everything running from a small powerbox mounted on the scope feeding 12v power to various equipment to avoid a lot of dangling cables but so far I've been unable to get my Mele to run from this & it keeps switching off. Part of the problem I think is that it has a usb c socket but it can't accept cables with PD emulation in them which most of the usbc cables seem to have. Mele empasises that you must use their power supply but the cable they provide is quite short. If Mele improved this then it would deserve 4 or 5 stars.

I brought this a while ago I have used it 4 times and it packed up.

I bought this to use a media box to be connected to the TV and it is very close to what I wanted. Unfortunately there are 2 issues with my unit 1, 50% of the time the PC doesn't recognize any audio hardware hardware when turned on. This is fixed most of the time by restarting it. The second issue is the GPU can't really handle 4k YouTube playback and always downgrades from 4k down to 480p
