MeLE Quieter3C Fanless Mini PC, Celeron N5105, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage, Full-Function USB-C, WiFi 5, Support Triple Screen Display, Slim Desktop on Industrial, Home, Office

The price point is comparable to a Raspberry Pi 5, and is an even better value when you factor in the $30 coupon and the built-in storage. My use case: This is my home theater PC. It can run Plex media server, Kodi, VLC, etc without issues. Pros: - Windows 11 Pro. Not using the pro features for this device, but I won't complain. I'm comfortable in both Windows and Linux but prefer Windows for compatibility. - Portability. It runs off a 25W+ USB-C PD device, which many people already own for their phone and/or laptop. No external DC charger required that is unique to this device. Note, it does include a USB-C charger too. - Versatility. It has no fans, so it runs completely quiet. It can be mounted to a monitor for an AIO solution, or used standalone. It could be used as a test bed, home theater PC, light workstation, etc. The possibilities are nearly endless. - Expansion. It includes an M2 SSD bay if you want to store a lot of data on this device itself. Note: You have to supply the SSD. It has built in storage for the OS and smaller files. Cons: - Thermal limitations. It is passively cooled, so ambient temperature and location significantly affect it. In an enclosed space or in a hot environment, it will run slower by design as it throttles the CPU to limit heat. - 2.9 GHZ Intel Celeron processor. This is only a con depending on your use case. If you're running demanding applications, this is not the device for you. For the price, the processor is more than sufficient for my use-case as a home theater PC.

I got this device to replace a mid-sized tower used for my media and backup server. I added a 4TB M.2 drive. This is a REALLY nice, little machine that serves that purpose perfectly. It's fanless, so it's completely silent. The case gets quite hot, but it's because the heat gets dispersed out the heat sync case which keeps it cooler inside. It has enough ports to handle what you'd need. Three USB 3, one USB C, two HDMI, a gbit network port, and a USB C port for power. It's packaged with a VESA bracket for the rear of your monitor. Will you be able to play a AAA game on this? No. What you CAN use this for is a nice work PC or a super media server. For its pricetag, slap in a huge M.2 drive and what you have is 'the little computer that could'.

Initial impressions: - set up was straightforward if you've done it a few times. - Great connectivity on board - reasonably fast - better than I've seen on any other of several Celeron computers I've had - smaller than expected(!), runs quietly. Feels built like a tank. Some issues: - This replaced an older model compact media computer - it was basically just replugging the cables from the old to the new, and it was good, except for both audio and video would completely black out for up to 30 seconds - and more than a few times, video didn't come back until the computer was cycled. This almost resulted in returning, and would have been a very different review, but playing around with audio configuration (changing it to 7.1, even though I have a 5.1 system) fixed everything - at 5.1, matching the hardware, it frequently cut out. Wouldn't even play test sounds completely. SO... the warning here is that something is up with the HDMI on this unit, and you may or may not be able to fix it - and it may depend on what the audio/video devices connected are. - as others noted, it can run *very* hot. Surprisingly so. A little worrisome, enough that I ensured it wasn't near anything flammable. I say this as a precaution - but it really could be hot enough to, say, warp thin plastic it was in contact with. And it's hard not to think this will shorten the product's life, as heat is the enemy of things like solder joints, of which there are certainly hundreds or thousands in that little box.

I am totally blind and using this device without a monitor. I have a screen reader installed. I am using this device for a binaural recording rig with a dummy head multi tracking into reaper. The device only heats up when wireless networking is enabled. This includes Bluetooth. Other than the device keeps it fairly cool. The device runs much quicker than I expected! If you’re going to be doing web browsing, or audio recording, and tracking, this device will more than suit your needs! I purchased a external laptop back up a battery pack that is 60 wats and it powers this machine is it requires only 28 watts.

Generally a nice minimalist PC, but it would randomly shut down (power off). So many things that could cause this... thermal shutdown, windows 11 shutdown, memory problem, etc. Needed a reliable PC for data logging and the random shutdown and loss of data made this unsuitable.

We use this as a PC for a conference room and the wifi adapter died after about 6 months. Fortunately we were able to connect via Lan cable, but it was still a hassle. Apart from that, the produt is doing its job quiet ncicely.

Very Happy, Simple setup, just add monitor & Keyboard/mouse combo and you are ready to go.. For the initial set up you will need a USB mouse/keyboard. Once you add a wireless mouse&/or Keyboard you no longer need to use a USB type. performs very well for it's low price for routine office tasks.

I bought this to use as a dedicated Mame machine having no idea if it could handle it either graphically or thermally. To my surprise it handles both perfectly. Snappy web browsing, though it gets hotter as you open more windows. I will probably add a small fan but for the price this is actually a nice deal.

I needed a windows 11 computer for programming electronic devices. Because of the software that has to be used I needed a computer that was configured with American keyboard, times, and dates etc. this tiny pocket computer fit the bill perfectly. It started up quickly, offered the usual first time configuration options, then it was ready to go. It contains all the connections of a larger computer - Ethernet, multiple USB ports, audio out HDMI out. And a microSD slot. This isn’t designed for intensive computing like games or video editing, but if you need to connect to the internet and type up your graduate thesis, or surf Facebook on a budget, this system is more than adequate.

Habe mir den mini PC – er ist nun mal kleiner als eine Tafel Schokolade und wiegt nur unwesentlich mehr – für die Astrofotografie zugelegt, denn mir haben die längeren USB-Verbindungen immer wieder Probleme bereitet. Jetzt ist der PC nah bei der Kamera und die Kabellängen kein Thema mehr. Die Einrichtung war einfach. Habe allerdings von Windows 11 nach 10 gedowngradet. Ein entsprechendes Windows-Image gibt es beim Hersteller auf der Homepage und auch die Treiberversorgung ist dort gewährleistet. Aktivieren war kein Problem, Nr. ist wohl im Bios hinterlegt. Alles in allem eine runde Sache und der Kleine läuft gut via VNC/Teamviewer (Redundanz). Netzwerkanbindung ist via WLAN schnell genug und stabil. Einige Nächte hat er jetzt schon hinter sich und verrichtet seinen Dienst anstandslos. Die Verarbeitung ist solide. Einige Kabel hatten sich schon mal verheddert und die Stecker hats zerrissen. Neue Kabel drangefummelt und weiter ging es… Das kleine ALU-Gehäuse führt die Temperatur gut ab (Winter/Frühjahr) Wie es allerdings im Sommer ist muss ich sehen. Der Herbst wird dann hingegen sicher wieder kein Thema sein. Das ist eben der Nachteil einer Passiven Kühlung. Das muss ich austesten. Ein paar Tricks hat man aber auch hier in der Hinterhand. Da der Kleine Leistungsfähig genug ist kann man im erweiterten Energiemanagement den Prozessor evtl. auf 75% drosseln, wenn nötig. Das wäre eine Option, die noch zu testen wäre. Wieder kaufen? Ja!!! Evtl. sogar die noch etwas kleinere Version… Masse reduzieren ist hier in meinem speziellen Anwendungsfall alles. Als mini Desktop für E-Mail und Surfen ist er sicher eine Energieeffiziente Wahl. Allerdings sind 8GB RAM hier evtl. schon mittlerweile als Untergrenze zu bezeichnen. Eine SSD wird noch nachgerüstet – das bringt noch mal einen Schub extra Perfomance. Aber das EMMC-Laufwerk schlägt sich auch nicht schlecht. Meine Bilddaten wandern sofort via WLAN ins Heimnetz, daher ist das Laufwerk nicht so sehr belastet… Mit etlichen Kniffen und Tricks muss der Kleine jetzt nur noch mit 80 Prozessen und ca. 1200 Threads klarkommen. Das tut er ganz ausgezeichnet und daher gibt es von mir ganz klar den Daumen hoch. Ich hoffe ich konnte helfen und wünsche potentiellen Käufern viel Spaß mit der Schachtel…

I'm using this as the mini PC for my home theater's digital movie poster (MoviePosterApp) and it works wonderfully. Reason why I chose this one is the 8GB RAM with a licensed copy of Win11 Pro, and it's absolutely SILENT as a fanless design. Recommended for anyone who wants a small and quiet PC for internet browsing, light working and even basic entry level gaming. Quality feels very good, but time will tell on that front. Recommended!

Dopo più di sei mesi di utilizzo spesso acceso H24 per più giorni, lo reputo affidabile. Unico neo è il calore; si, scalda molto e io per ovviare al problema ho comprato due dissipatori in alluminio che ho posto sopra e sotto al case. Non uso il WiFi ma i dissipatori potrebbero limitarne o annullarne il funzionamento. In tal caso usare la connessione via cavo.

Compact and well presented. Fired up and was operational in a short time. Came with a bracket to fit to the rear of monitor. Had some trouble sorting out the time zone but that’s W11 issue. Over all very impressive. I installed extra storage.
