Nice, solid piece of kit. Heavy; doesn't feel cheap. All of the HW chips work with Linux as advertised. Do follow the instructions - F4 at boot for the BIOS, "Advanced", and enable CSM. I also disabled secure boot when it couldn't find UEFI support during install, YMMV.It booted to an ArchBang USB stick and into the desktop. WiFi, audio, ethernet, USB, graphics - all work well under Arch.It's probably a little overpowered for what I'm using it for, but you get a lot for the money here and it's hard to put something together with WiFi, audio, and a case for much less, and this is much easier; having an x86 CPU is a bonus for package availability and not having to dig around in some outdated ARM repos.I'm extremely happy that all of the hardware is well supported under Linux. This is a good buy.

Just add monitor(s), keyboard and mouse--better than a laptop for working at a desk! I had an extra portable monitor for my work laptop and was using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for Samsung DEX, when I needed a personal computer for some Windows software, the MeLE was a lifesaver. Small, light and fully functional at a fraction of the cost of a laptop.

When I initially received the device and reinstalled Win 10 it ran into some issues to which the wifi and Bluetooth stopped working, upon contacted MeLE support this is where I was really impressed. After some initial troubleshooting the support staff determined the module was faulty and did not waste time sending out a replacement, this arrived in a matter of days so I believe it was sent out immediately. They did this even before asking for the defective unit back which I will return at their cost. As customer support goes I would say it's the quickest turnaround I have experienced. To that extent given the item itself (which can have manufacturing defects) add a ease of mind when buying from this company.I would add that when contacting the support staff its best to be clear which model and capacity you purchased. A smaller size unit 128 as opposed to 256 was sent out and due to error the company refunded the difference (would have preferred the capacity I bought but I was ok to compromise). Also best to state what versions of Windows you want.The replacement is currently working well and as expected.

So out of the box this thing is pretty impressive. Comes with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed, no problems there. It has 8gb LPDDR4 RAM@2133 so for basic browsing and simple gaming it's peachy keen. I only bought this to put in a recording booth and run a condenser mic through and that's pretty much all I plan to use it for and for that it works absolutely great. Of course I had to test out this new mini toy a bit so I tried some older 3D games out and I was actually pleasantly surprised. For such a tiny thing it kept up pretty well. I noticed some weird stuff when I checked out all the numbers in Open Hardware Monitor after gaming. It turns out the CPU is power limited by the firmware so it only pushes up to 9 watts max. It's set to 7 for base speeds and this processor is supposed to take 10+ watts. If you are aren't using the GPU then it will run at 2ghz/2.7ghz but as soon as you bring the GPU up it throttles both the graphics frequency and the core clock speeds fairly significantly. If you know what you're doing you can disable the power clamp and change the power limits in the UEFI. If you don't know what that is then don't mess with it. I got it to run pretty much as the chip is intended but for the normal user it will be starved of power a little so if this CPU was the reason you wanted this PC you should look at the other MeLE fanless PC that's a little more pricey but has a bigger power supply so it should get all the juice it needs or maybe just go with the stick PC with the j4105 and save a few bucks. All in all it's a really good product and the limitations shouldn't affect the average user but don't expect this thing to play Cyberpunk. The problem could have been prevented if they would have just powered it with a USB type C. I have to assume the thermal limits are the reason for the adjustments but it can handle a little more than they give it to you with. I do recommend it if you need an absolutely silent PC and you don't plan on transcoding or gaming on it.

My clunky desktop computer was slow and often dropped the home Wi-Fi signal when not in use. This MeLE mini PC stick is fast and very reliable. The graphics on my 4K monitor pop. It's very responsive, and I couldn't be happier with this upgrade. The space I save having this mini PC attached to the back of my monitor allows me to have a printer below it. I love it.

When I bought it the description said suitable for gaming. Not at all: I did not use it for gaming but instead for zoom meetings or online video calls. It takes about 5min. to establish a stable connection to a zoom meeting. The video is very much delayed and basically not fit for online meetings. Additionally, the WiFi could not connect to any router. It seems like the signal was available but the connection could not be established. Very disappointed. It's now just a black box that I don't even want to use as a paper weight on my desk.

COVID has brought video conferencing into my living room as we now use Zoom, Teams, Messenger, and other similar apps to stay connected with friends and family on a regular basis. I bought the MeLE stick PC, a high-end webcam, and a USB wireless keyboard to connect to my living room TV.After running through all the Windows 11 updates I tried to use it for Zoom. There were two problems - first, the video was choppy in rendering to a 4K TV. I reduced the resolution to 1080P but that did not fix the problem. Second, I could not use the USB keyboard from more than about 3 feet way. It seemed to me that there was inadequate power to the dongle. The vendor said it was interference from being too close to the machine and suggested I use an extension cable. That feels unlikely to me but I didn't test it as I knew I was going to return it anyway at that point.
