It is amazing how this tiny pc is more powerful than super computers from the 90s. I have seen larger floppy disk drives back in the day. Great video! 😀
HI I ordered this using the link on your page a couple of things it didn’t give me the choice for window or Linux so hopefully I get windows plus it didn’t say what version of windows it comes with , the next says I was in the uk clicked on that and the pc was something like £393 in the sale clicked buy went back to € payed by PayPal and charged £411 ? Supposed to be free shipping
The main issue with some of those imho is thermals. I had a Beelink one and it was always thermal throttling. I'm not particularly PC savvy myself, but throttling at 76C seemed a little excessive to me.
Thanx for the video. These mini PCs are sure getting better. I've always been a full tower desktop man my self but these things are becoming more attractive. Just need a high speed external USB multidrive holder for my internal stoage drives.
I have,and use every day, the Chuwi Larkbox, 256 G SSD, 6 G Ram, WiFi, Bluetooth, 4 K . I’m using a Bluetooth keyboard and Plugin Monitor (19”), and plugin JBL 2.1 speakers. Over 1 1/2 years and absolutely not a problem at all. Oh, and I installed an MVME? 2.0 of 1T. Not bad for a 2 1/2” X 2 1/2” X 2 3/4” cube. 👍🇨🇦 At $600.00 Canadian, I can find, I’m sure, a little better than that, BUT, it is a nice setup.
Regards the SATA mount there can only be one of two options to explain this?...the Mini PC has been re-purposed from another model or Chassis or the mount is either as Brian says an future development or an forthcoming optional extra...Regardless its still an excellent mini PC and no-one can say otherwise so thanks go to Brian..
I guess making something that small you would have to use proprietary parts. Nice little system that has some spice to it. Not too expensive either for what you are getting in a tiny package. But it does not look like it is available in the USA.
i'm guessing that you could build your own for less and support taiwan instead but maybe i'm wrong. maybe this is the best option if you couldn't go any larger for your desired application.
Hello Brian, again another great teaching/ review video. I love watching your videos I’ve learned a lot from you and please keep your videos coming. I do have some questions on this mini pc, you said that it comes with a 1tb m.2 pcie can that be upgraded to a 2TB or 4TB m.2 pcie and if so how would I transfer everything from the 1TB m.2 to a 2TB actually just in general how would you transfer all data from a m.2 to another m.2? I have a data transfer unit I put let’s say a 2TB HDD and I bought a new 2TB ssd and it will transfer all of the data from the old to the new but how would I from a m.2 to a bigger m.2. And you talked about putting in a ssd and the cables are there just no mounting bracket. What about using duct tape to hold it in place so it’s not touching the ram etc or maybe some bubble wrap to put in between to keep it from touching other stuff like the ram. I have a 6 month old mid tower gaming desktop computer that I built myself and it’s much cheaper building it yourself everything part that I bought was new and I compared it to three other computer already built systems and I saved about $800 by me buying the parts and doing it all myself and I was so impressed that I got a vendor license and I started my own small business building desktop computer’s and I just can’t get the word out there and I’ve only built 3 systems in the past 4 months. But anyways if you would please answer my questions I asked you in the beginning of this message I would really appreciate it sir? Thank you
@@Britec09 can you put a 2TB in it if not and only a 1TB how do you transfer the data from one m.2 to a m.2 that you are going to use? And what do you think of my Idea for using bubble wrap to put under a 2.5 ssd?
Hello, been a long time subscriber to the channel. Just wanted to say your Pounds to US Dollars is incorrect. 100USD is just over 75 pounds, so at 400GBP that would be about $506USD for the viewers information. Keep making interesting content.

sorry it changed to usd
The last PC I bought/built is 4th-gen (i7-4790K 32GB RAM) which I'm still using to date, but I'm considering a mini PC as a next replacement.
The main issue with some of those imho is thermals. I had a Beelink one and it was always thermal throttling. I'm not particularly PC savvy myself, but throttling at 76C seemed a little excessive to me.
You think LOL its a lack of ventilation and cooling. I had a Beelink that burnt out after 14 months.
You could use double sided tape and mount the ssd on the cover. Then tuck the cables in.
Yeah, possible

If it does everything you need, then your OK.

Nice machine thanks for reviewing it, love my mini pc!
I do like that this one has plenty of ventilation. Some do not have enough and burn out, because of that.
Plenty of room for airflow
Thanks Brian, interesting machine ( although I think you got your US dollars and UK pounds mixed up!)

you should have a look at the budget gmktec k1. ryzen 7 6800h, 16gb ddr5 with 512gb nvme for just £300. got one and it works great
I see if they send me one for review

No this model come with 512GB, they do sell a 1TB version

@@Britec09 do you think it will support a 2TB or a 4TB m.2?
Did you check the cover? Sometimes the sata ssd mounts on the top cover. Also could you connect the sata ssd and just leave it dangling inside?
I opened top and bottom, no SSD caddy in that mini pc
Yes very nice. Thanks
Thank you too!
I am trying to join your forum but after agreeing to terms all I get is a blank page? Is there a issue?
How longs dispatch times to the UK? This looks great.
Not sure mate
Now, this one looks really nice. Maybe a daily driver?
I have a request to chuwi
Please
Make mini pc in there larkbox smallest body
With 8 core N305 ddr5 ram 😅
It looks cute at the cost of the most important PC thing - performance.
I like it!
Cheers
Only 1 USB-C port in 2024? Not good enough. They should've traded off a couple of those USB-A ports for more USB-C ports.
Dude it's a duck tape mounted HD port
Too expensive, im poor.
the case design makes it look like a toy, it looks like a big P.C but little 🤣
It is bigger than other mini pcs
If it's chenna mfg? I've stopped at anything not made in the United States.....
Everything comes from China
