## Description

Product Description

Review: Powerful Mac Mini-esque - The hardware specs are absolute ace for the money. You’re getting a Ryzen 7 255 and 32GB of DDR5 RAM, which makes frontend dev work a breeze; apps open instantly and multitasking is smooth as anything. The build quality is decent—it looks very Mac Mini-esque on the desk—and having built-in speakers is a nice touch for casual bits. It looks like a Mac but this little guy actually has more ports and user-upgradable RAM/SSD, which are the biggest selling points over Apple. The only real niggle with this aluminium box is the thermal design. It’s not an issue if you’re using it as a little home lab device, but if you’re planning to game, it struggles. Once you load up something like Overwatch 2 on medium-high settings at 2K (or even 1080p), the temps skyrocket and it starts thermal throttling almost immediately. The GPU can handle high frame rates, but the cooling just isn't efficient enough. I ended up having to cap the wattage to 28W and use silent mode just to keep it stable. I didn't buy it for gaming, so it’s not a dealbreaker for me, but keep it in mind if that’s your primary use case. If you want to game for hours without it getting toasted, you’ll need to look elsewhere or invest in a decent external fan. Still, it’s a silent bit of kit for my daily work, so I’d definitely recommend it.
Review: Great mini pc - Been using for a few months now. I replaced the Windows 11 installation with CachyOS and it's been a solid media center machine / file server. Also great for Steam gaming. At the spec I got, it has roughly similar performance at 1080p that the Steam Deck has at 720p. Linux drivers are solid and haven't found anything incompatible. Runs pretty quietly if you set the fans to low. My Spec: Ryzen 7 255, 32GB DDR5 (8GB reserved in bios for GPU)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great mini pc
*by C***E on 11 May 2026*

Been using for a few months now. I replaced the Windows 11 installation with CachyOS and it's been a solid media center machine / file server. Also great for Steam gaming. At the spec I got, it has roughly similar performance at 1080p that the Steam Deck has at 720p. Linux drivers are solid and haven't found anything incompatible. Runs pretty quietly if you set the fans to low. My Spec: Ryzen 7 255, 32GB DDR5 (8GB reserved in bios for GPU)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Machine is decent, wifi/BT is not
*by R***. on 29 April 2026*

Machine is decent, got it as a Steam Box. Installed SteamOS and it runs smoothly, but as others have reported, WiFi and Bluetooth quality is really bad. For now, I connected an ethernet cable and have a USB extension for the controllers, but will need to eventually fix the wireless connections. Noise wise, it's much quieter than the Steam Deck, and the CPU/GPU also better, with native 1080p and 4k, though it doesn't really do 4k gaming well. For TV gaming, though, perfectly fine.
