It’s great to see nettops starting to appear widely in stores. I only need a computer at home for the internet, watching YouTube movies, social networks, and as a typewriter. I don't want a laptop because I find them inconvenient to work with. And buying a large box for these purposes is also pointless. However, if you take a nettop, you can get a decent system with minimal size. I installed 8 GB of RAM and an SSD. As a result, I got a very fast system, even despite the not-so-powerful processor. The graphics core is quite enough to handle high-resolution videos. Installing Ubuntu went smoothly. A very small box with decent performance. The cooling system runs very quietly; when there's no load, you can't hear it at all. There are a variety of connectors, including DisplayPort and USB 3.0. It's sold not as a ready-made system, but as a kit, so everyone can insert their own drive and the amount of memory they need. By the way, it can have up to 16 GB of memory, which is not bad for such a tiny device. There's a mini-PCIe slot, which already has a wireless adapter installed (at least in the GB-BXCE-2955 model). A VESA bracket is included in the package, so you can mount it on the wall or the back of a monitor, essentially creating an all-in-one PC. The number of USB ports could have been increased. A couple more wouldn't hurt. However, given the system's features, this will be more than enough for most users. The external power supply, similar to a laptop's, was a bit disappointing. It doesn't quite look right next to such a small device. use Gigabyte BRIX week i recommend it should buy |
