TRIGKEY Micro Computer 12th Gen Intel N100 4C/4T 16G DDR4 500G M.2 PCIE1/SATA SSD G4 Small PC OS Desktop PC,Wi-Fi 6 Working Mini Desktop, 4K@60Hz UHD Graphics Dual Display/BT5.2/OS

I don't often write reviews (no matter how often Amazon suggest it!). But I wanted to express my hard satisfaction with the Trigkey Mini PCs, of which this one was the 3rd I've bought. Price is great, delivery usually a day or two. Unlike the bad old PC days, there's zero bloatware on these devices and bring-up, to use the advertising cliche, is a breeze. This arrived with W11 22H2 and an update to the latest went smoothly. It's really quiet - the lowest power consumption of any I've had (supply voltage has dropped from the old 19V to 12V also). With this one, I had a minor technical question - I wanted the machine to boot back up after a power failure (default setting was no startup) and couldn't find what I was looking for in the BIOS setup. I emailed their support line, and in an hour I got a detailed tutorial mail showing exactly where to find the power state change modes. Just great service. Highly recommended.

This thing is a tiny bit capable machine for what it is. With an N100 processor it's decent for light workloads, web browsing, taxes and light office work. Replaceable components include the nvme SSD and ram, and to an extent the wifi card. More on that later. Pretty solid construction, a lot like the b link mini.The device has decent port count including:2x Intel i225v 2.5g Ethernet ports2x HDMI ports3x USB type a ports1x usb-c port1x power port(12v@3a)Inside there is:1x nvme no name ssd, at 1x pcie 3.0 speeds1x ddr5 Corsair 5600(running at 4800) ram stick1x Pcie e key wifi module. However, the antennae are silicones in place1x empty 2.5" HDD slotThe bad. The sad with that arrived with my unit is defective. Right out of the gate it started blues screening before windows even completed getting sets up. I followed the instructions on the packaging and didn't connect it to a network, so this wasn't the issue. Removing it and testing the drive returned it was faulty. The 2.5" drive slot is hit or miss, since when I tried to use it I found the cable isn't shielded, and sporadically caused errors and the drive to fail. Ultimately I completed my review and testing of the unit with an skhynix nvme SSD which had no issues. i tested proxmox and Linux, as windows and it's keys look to be one the defective drive only when received.The good. It's quiet. It's small. It's low power, idling around 6w. Lots in the bios open, even if half of it does nothing. While not obviously named, it can be set to automatically power on in the even of a power failure(tested and confirmed working). Hardware transcoding in jellyfin, with a few VMs and LXC containers resulted in a negligible power increase at 7w.It is set to run up to 25w when needed. I verified this with a kilowatt. While running hard, the fan was a tad noisy, but not annoying. It does get quite warm to the touch after running a while, but still acceptable. I expect it'll need to have the paste redone, I just didn't go that farOverall, a decent price compared to other machines, with the benefit of replaceable parts. But I'd expect to make up the savings buying a decent nvme SSD.

I use this N100 16GB Ram computer to run my Blue Iris survelliance software with about a dozen cameras. I do not have a keyboard or monitor, I just use remote desktop to log into it with my other similar but more powerful Ryzen R7 mini PC.Blue iris runs the CPU around 80% or more and the PC is still responsive, web browsing is no issue with multiple tabs while BI is running too. The power consumption is really low on this unit, it will pay for its self just in power over the next couple years compared to the old huge desktop PC I was using and was not up to the task with only 8GB of ram.I am very pleased and even bought a second unit for my mother in law to replace her old giant PC.It came with Win11 PRO, set up was fast and simple. This machine as been a great value.

I've only had this for 2 days, but here's my take so far:- responsive for general streaming and browsing- SSD runs 1x, so about 800mbps write and read- fan noise is noticeable from 15 feet away, and the unit gets warm- lots of MS bloatware after updates (W11 problem, not Trigkey)- you need to disable the burn-in at startup to improve boot times- no USBC ports, as described- very lightweight- outputs to 4k flawlessly- decent WiFi speeds, slightly slower than my M1 iPad ProOverall, great value for the price. I purchased this with a 3 year warranty just as peace of mind. I will probably add a 2.5 SSD soon since prices are dropping. I'm mainly using it with my TV as a media center and couch web browser. For the same price as an Apple TV, I can do so much more.

this has performed perfectly and has been left running 24/7 with no noticeable impact on performance. it does feel really warm which is concerning, but probably no more than others of the same design. there is an internal fan which is silent and it is vented for air inflow and exhaust. amazing little machine.

Package unpacked. Plugged into the power supply and booted up. Unfortunately, it always crashes. Waste of money

I was looking for a typically powered desktop computer (good for everything but gaming) but a small unit that can operate on very low power in case I decide later to use it on battery power.. like for an emergency computer or something. I do NOT use computers for gaming and this mini pc is NOT rated for that purpose. However, the little N100 processor paired with ANY amount of DDR5 ram is VERY quick with all things like a good decent usual desktop, but the whole thing uses around only 25 watts.... AWESOME! I also wanted a mini pc which still has some expandability through the little but very fast M.2 interface standard and the faster USB ports rated with the 10Gbps standard, which is TWICE as fast as the common or usual blue 3.0 USB ports. I've only been using it for about a month but so far this little thing is the best computer I've ever owned. MUCH thanks to God for those at TRIGKEY for offering a small but powerful little pc that meets the needs of my specifications!
