    Why get this over a NUC or Brix?

    Also, it's kinda weird to me how over-used the name "Minix" is, in particular, when related to computers yet not related to each other:

    Lol @ tbag. Git gud.

    This mini pc is garbo. Intel Celeron 4gb lol what is this y2k. Windows 10 ran out system & storage memory on first boot. This unit looks good for a overpriced rented out 1970 roach infested commercial zoned building. "Your program is not responding."

    For the money GB-BRi3H-8130 with 8GB Ram + 240GB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD cheaper deal and just as fast or could pick a Intel NUC i3 for a few bucks more.

    I agree with others above me. And also, no card reader and no Bluetooth 5.0
    I applaud they included USB-C though.

    This looks like a pretty old mini PC unless I am missing something? I see reviews from Jan 2018.

    And if you want a mini PC, it is going to be hard to beat what you can find on aliexpress.
