KAMRUI AK1PLUS Mini PC 16GB RAM, Intel 12th Alder Lake N95(up to 3.4 GHz) Mini Computer Windows 11 Pro, Small Desktop Computers Tower Support 4K UHD/HDMI 2.0/LAN/Dual-Band WiFi for Office Home Server

I switched from PC to Mac about 10 years ago. I still have a few legacy programs that I find useful from the Windows XP and Windows 7 era. I used to keep a Windows 7 virtual machine on my Mac but I have recently switched to the Apple Studio with Apple silicon and with that, only Windows 11 is available in Parallels. I decided that I could order this computer and install my old windows virtual machines on it. Then I can access it from my Mac using Microsoft Remote Desktop. The small form factor and very low power draw along with very low cost makes this a reasonable solution for me.

I was really excited to try this mini PC. I have a big TV in a room that I frequently use for a guest room, and a small PC like this is a great way to make it a lot more capable of being a well-rounded guest room. The packaging was nice, although the box was very generic. The unit itself is very compact. The quality of the plastic is OK - it keeps things light. There are a few things I really like about the form factor: first, the ports are plentiful and perfect for a home theater-type setup. Second, I really like the expandability options. This unit is already packing a lot of storage and memory, but if you want more you can easily insert a 2.5 SATA drive by just pulling off the bottom panel. If you dont want to expand it you can remove the entire base (which is connected via USB-C) for a thinner overall form. Ventilation is good and lighting is unobtrusive. I cant hear this at all when its running without load. With full load I can barely hear it: it is quieter than a whisper.

I cannot say enough good things about this mini-pc!

This is my second mini-pc. This one out performs my last one. It is just a tad over 5x5x2. This came with Win 11 Pro, my last one come with Win 10 pro upgradable to Win 11 Pro. And that caused problems, where this is already installed. It just did the Win 11 version 22H2 upgrade and still running like a charm. It comes with 8 GB of DDR4 ram and and 256 GB M.2 SSD. Has 2.4 and 5G built in WiFi. 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 ports, has a 1000Mbps LAN port, it even comes with a VESA mounting plate to attach it to the back of your monitor. Also has 2 HDMI ports so you can run 2 monitors. You also add up to a 2TB ssd drive for more storage.

I love the compact size and that it comes with a mounting bracket so it can be mounted on the wall or the back of your monitor if it has wall mount screws on it. It runs Windows 11 well (no surprise there) but more importantly doesnt come with any bloatware. It may not be a powerhouse but it does run the Sims 4 at a smooth framerate (using predetermined graphical settings) even when playing at max speed. Also, it doesnt get very warm either. Seems to be a pretty great general purpose PC for a good price.

I have been using this little bugger for a bit now and am really happy with the performance given the cost.

I was a bit confused as to the configuration that I was to receive given the number of different set-ups that are available on this product page. My best information has me receiving the following configuration: KAMRUI Mini PC Windows 11 Pro, Mini Computer Intel Celeron N5105 Processor 16GB DDR4 512GB M.2 SSD Desktop Computer, Support 4K UHD Dual B.

I really loved the size. It is small enough to put anywhere.

I may have gotten the next model up because my specs are: Intel Celeron N5105 quad core, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB m.2 SSD. The description indicates it only has 12 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. It does come with Windows 11 which I’ve grown to like coming from Windows 10.

Very easy to setup! Comes with win11 pre installed. No bloatwares. Runs decent. Celeron n5105 can handle basic office task, play 4k movies, runs emulators etc. I used it mainly for plex server. Runs cool and quiet. No signs of throttling under full load.
