Surprising performer
Let's say solid 4 and 1/2 stars for now. My limited experience with this PC and unknown longevity plus a couple of minor nits may sway rating. Let's start with my use. I am a quasi computer consultant in a resort/retirement community. I deal with old equipment and "mature" folks who are not the most computer savvy. I recommend replacement equipment and try to configure their PCs to be as easy to use as possible.When replacing a desktop, I have been recommending the reconditioned ultra small form factor business computers for size, performance, features, and fresh Windows 10 installations at a modest cost for the folks, and these have served well. I have three of my own. I saw this attractively configured, but unfortunately named, Coofun PC that met the needs of my latest client and decided to order it along with a standalone DVD drive. Both arrived quickly. I was happy to see a clean full Win10 installation with no observable bloatware on the first boot. Setup was straightforward with the usual string of Microsoft system updates. All my peripherals were identified without issue (k/b, mouse, monitor). The system was quite snappy with the 6 Gb memory and SSD. While the CPU and GPU are no muscle chips, I never felt any lag in normal tasks, and overall are more than adequate for my client's needs. I would definitely recommend this unit for upcoming needs for modest desktop use and probably as a media server as well. Conclusions:Good: 6 Gb RAM, 128 Gb SSD, very small package, both VGA and HDMI output, good performance for specs. New PC with Windows for price of refurbished small unit with older technology. Built-in 2/5G WiFi. No compatibility issues with client's monitor, printer, and other hardware.Could wish for: At least one more USB port, or perhaps a type C. Power button on front (??whatever side is front, since ports are on three sides). Separate audio input and output jacks (yes, I know many are combination now, but my clients have separate peripherals).All said, my client is happy and I enjoyed setting the unit up and think it is a great little PC for the price.

Got what I paid for, if not more
I bought this as something to run FreeIPA at home. Initially, it has an activated version of Windows 10 running on it, which is surprising, because that is normally a significant price bump. I checked to see if was activated, manually activated, and apparently it is good to go with a MAK key from the factory.I'm glad it came with a VGA port, because I have an old monitor which is VGA only, and I use it only to get a machine's OS installed and working headless.The onboard SSD works well. It doesn't hold much... but you can always replace it with another, and for what I'm using it for, it isn't really needed (as all the main data will be coming from NFS or iSCSI).Rebooting to Ubuntu is a clean process. Hit the delete key, set boot priorities, have a Ubuntu drive in, install, and done. Once up, install openssh-server, and call that done.Overall, this is a nice little machine. An 8GB Raspberry Pi with case and accessories is creeping up to $120-$130, while this has as much RAM and as many cores, but supports amd64 out the gate, which means more compatibility with stuff.I am definitely going to buy several more of these, just due to the versatility. It even supports virtualization, which is nice, especially for tiny VMs or Docker containers.I do like the mounting bracket it comes with. I can have it mounted on a VESA monitor, or mounted on the wall to save space.Overall, a nice bang for your buck if you need something with a bit more horsepower than a Raspberry Pi, but don't want to pay for a full fledged Intel NUC.Updated - January 8, 2021: This little workhorse is still going strong. The power cord isn't held in by a strong spring or retaining mechanism, but that is easily addressed by a small bit of tape, or stick on wire wrap to keep tension off the plug. I am hoping I can find another, but with 16-32 gigs of RAM, so I can offload Web browsing virtualization to it.

Power in mini form
╔ ■ Price Point / Value: 4.5/5╠ ■ Quality: 4.5/5╠ ■ Recommendation: 5/5╠ ☼ Overall: 5/5╠ ►Product Need: Mini PC╠ ►Product Pros: Size, Speed, price, HDMI, Wifi, SD slot, Bracket╠ ►Considerations: Expansion, Need HD╠ ►My Review: This is my first real mini PC and surprised how much power is in this little block. It comes with a mount that allows to put on the back of a monitor for seamless design however I recommend getting external hard drive which may modify its seamlessness. The features on this are a HDMI port, USB 3 ports, Wifi/GB Ethernet, Win10, 2.3 GHz overclock, 4k graphics. This is a great portable alternative to a tv streaming box or a laptop. I can take this from my living room to the back yard and with a simple hook up to the projector have full capability to watch movies or play games. The speed on this is a lot better than I anticipated for its size and no real issues. I couldn’t be happier with the value and performance of this tiny compact machine for the price. I highly recommend it if you want to save space, don’t need to upgrade components or play intensive video games.

Updated review, disappointed
I've owned this about 3 months, and gave it 5 stars a few weeks ago. Was a great little box, not a powerhouse but enough to get the job done. Good box for the money, enough USB, HDMI and vga ports. Hooked 2 monitors to it, added a 256k card and it worked great. Fast forward 3 months and the box is dead. Won't start, won't reset, just a goner. I've tried everything, even had one of my techs look at it but it's toast. I'd planned to purchase a second box to use as an inexpensive media server with an external drive. I'm 60 days past the return date, so this was pretty much a waste of money. Maybe I got a lemon, but I have to go from 5 stars to 1 star based on a "shelf life" of only a couple of months.

Good performance at a reasonable price
Small footprint and thickness. Reasonable performance according to its configuración. A very good product for the price
