Powerful, Quiet, and Efficient – Perfect for Home Lab Use
I’ve had this Mini-PC for about 3 months now and I’m using it to run Proxmox in my home lab setup. It’s handling multiple virtual machines smoothly and has been very reliable so far. The connectivity is great, it stays quiet during light use, and even under heavier loads, the fans keep it cool without making much noise. It also runs much more efficiently and uses less power than the full-size PCs and servers I’ve used before. I’m thinking about upgrading the 32GB of RAM it came with, and even adding another one to expand my Proxmox cluster.

Great little Nuc Box!
I've bought two of these now.One is my new Plex server and so far (3 weeks in, and I'm very happy), the N97 performs really well, and barely breaks a sweat.The other I'm just using as a basic computer when i don't need to fire up the main "under the desk" computer.Windows 11 Pro out of the box, will happily run Mint too (tested), the fan kicks during heavy load like windows updates or a wee bit light gaming or emulation, but even then it's not loud.Genuinely shocked how well this wee thing performs.

Silent, Powerful, and Tiny Media PC
I am using this primarily to play back high bitrate 4K movies via Kodi. The 2nd HDMI output allows a dedicated pass through for audio on a home cinema amp or soundbar to be able to get TrueHD or MasterAudio. The only thing currently missing is Dolby Vision however this is not an issue with the device more a Kodi issue. This is all easily achievable whilst still running the Windows OS. I may dual boot a Linux based OS at some point but to just say I'm happy with how things are already is an understatement.

These are Defective Machines
All of the ONE star reviews are accurate on this product. A previous DELL owner wrote a very detailed review about his start up issues and he is 100% correct. I have had exactly the same issues and have returned for refund. Please do heed this review. It was the third micro PC I have returned and have gone back to full branded machines

Just what I was looking for and it hasn't disappointed me I've not had chance to really have a good look around it yet but what have seen has impressed me

Tiny little PC
Its very quiet and can stream the tv and films I definitely pay for. I doubt you could play the latest games and all that foschizzle but for an internet browser and media player its sound as a pound.

Unreliable and problematic
As far as i'm concerned, reliability trumps all other qualities. I absolutely love small compact and energy efficient PC's but these things are so problematic it negates all of their benefits. I have been forced to go back to larger and more bulky computers as I absolutely hate machines that only work partially, half the time or with intermittent issues. A total waste of money. Not to mention all the stress that it causes. One stare doesn't quite cut it with regards to stress. Minus 1 would better represent how I feel
