Mini PC Computer Intel 11th Gen N5105 (up to 2.9GHz) 8GB RAM DDR4 256GB ROM SSD Micro Desktop Computers with Dual Gigabit Ethernet Support 3*HDMI 3*USB 3.1 Dual-WiFi Bluetooth 4.2 RGB Light

Installing Ubuntu 20.04
Degraded ssd controller with error detected by Ubuntu. Will run it for a while to see if that error will cause system hang problems.
Cannot recognize my external display but it recognize after installation.
No wifi.
External wifi dongle cannot be recognized. Most likely it is USB problem. But it recognize another brand.
Ubuntu 20.04 finally runs. Need more tests to see if system hangs by error detected by Ubuntu.

The machine is running fine now after having been installed with Ubuntu 20.04. For 16GB ram version, I can plug in any one HDMI. For 12GB ram version, I must plug in HDMI on the first left but not the others. Don’t know why. But I don’t care. It is fine with me.

I’ve been pleased with the performance of this mini pc, as I mentioned in the title I’m using as a router/firewall with OPNsense installed on it and it performs amazing.

Everything is working fine, no issues except that it won’t do a critical update. Keeps failing with an error code. I went through the update troubleshooter and followed many suggestions, all failed. I then tried to simply reset to Windows 11 and it won’t even do that (won’t tell me why). So I guess I’ll continue to use it and hope that the critical update doesn’t screw me.

These little computers are fantastic, but the implementation of this unit is lacking. The biggest reason I returned this unit is that it uses its own power brick and barrel connector instead of PD USB – C. Every other implementation of this board processor combination utilizes power delivery and gives you an extra data port. Other implementations I have purchased have the ability to run off of a USB-C dock to receive power and utilize some of the connection ports from the dock. This system doesn’t have that chance. If you’re interested in something small, keep looking.

Very fast shipping, it took just less than a week. Good packaging very safe. Excellent mini computer. I don’t have any problem. Small but with great performance. loaded with window 11 Pro, 12GB RAM DDR4 256GB ROM SSD. Thank you for the fast shipping.

Purchased this mini-PC to replace a dying Raspberry Pi 4b that I had been using for Pi-hole DNS for a few years. The Pi 4b could no longer handle the volume of 55+ network clients without flaking out on a daily basis, so this little N5105 mini-PC was a great upgrade. With 16GB of DDR4 RAM and a 512GB SSD HD, this mini-PC is capable of running a lot more than just Pi-hole for DNS. I installed Ubuntu Linux, removing the preinstalled Win 11 Pro, as I didn’t have any use for another Win 11 PC. Ubuntu 22.x runs very smoothly on this mini-PC. Installed easily and the built-in hardware was supported by Ubuntu. In addition to a fairly powerful Intel N5105 CPU, this mini-PC has 2 gigabit NICs, built-in Wifi, and bluetooth, as well as several USB ports. Consumes minimal power, 10-15W, and runs silently (fanless).

For the price, this mini-PC is hard to beat…at the time of purchase, the price of this device was very reasonable, but it does fluctuate quite a bit so grab these while the price is low. Docking a star because the PC mounts rather loosely to the included VESA mounting bracket. I mounted the bracket to a wall, and the PC basically hangs from it using the 2 included mounting screws. Otherwise this is an awesome mini-PC, and has one of the smallest footprints (smaller than an Intel NUC) I’ve seen.

 This is an excellent mini PC for using as a desktop or connecting to a TV. The package comes with everything you need – power cord and HDMI cable. Just plug it in and connect your keyboard/mouse to get up and running. Three USB ports or you can use Bluetooth to connect your keyboard/mouse. WiFi is built in or you can use one of the two ethernet ports to connect it to the internet. It comes with Windows 11 pro installed and activated. I even did a clean re-install of the OS and it activated automatically. Overall, small, sleek and quiet mini PC.

So far, I am extremely satisfied. Does all that I need, and more–PLUS it saves A LOT OF SPACE! Outstanding value!
