Perfect for running video streams and discord!
I was looking for a second PC to run two twitch streams (DashDucks and OurChickenLife) to take the load off of my actual gaming laptop and possibly some light gaming. My initial reaction was this is surprisingly fast for a sub $125 mini PC. It is snappy and loads chrome and the two twitch streams just fine with each stream in a separate window (one on each monitor). I was super happy with finally having the ability to have a PC with dual monitors and at this price point is in incredible.Set up was easy and I was up and running in under 5 minutes. Boot time is under 20 seconds and once I configured it for not needing to login even faster than that. I initially installed Steam, Discord, Chrome, SpeedTest (from the Microsoft store), and an auto clicker mouse program. I ended up deleting Steam and Discord as the game I primarily play struggled even on very low graphics settings. The game in question is Farm Together 2 and would highly recommend if you like farming games. Anyways, it wasn’t unbearable but there was noticeable lag when moving around in the game. Discord ran ultra smooth though and there wasn’t any lag so would be great for using that on this PC.As for internet speeds and quality goes, I would very HIGHLY recommend using an ethernet cable if you can. My current internet speed is 1.0 GB up and down. Under WiFi, I got a 1/5th of that speed with speeds around 200 down and 150 up despite this PC being literally inches from the router. This is most likely a limit of the WiFi 5 used in this PC and not necessarily a defect. Once I installed a Cat 6 ethernet cable, I got around my full speed of 930 both up and down. While it was on WiFi, I didn’t notice any lag when watching the twitch streams When installing windows updates though, definitely use an ethernet cable.As for noise level this thing is ultra quiet even under 100% CPU usage. Always was cool to the touch when I checked and no burning or any kind of smells like that since I have been using it. I keep it running 24/7 and as of the writing of this review it has been flawless.As for storage and RAM this seems to be good to go right out of the gate. You do have the option to upgrade if you wish, but for my needs the 8GB of RAM is just fine. It hits around 60% usage for RAM with running 2 chrome windows. And for storage with only chrome, speedtest, my mouse program, and edge which was preinstalled storage is very sufficient for me. And you can also upgrade the hard drive (SSD) to 2TB so if in the future I need more space or change how I use this PC I can. And honestly, that is a comforting thought knowing the option is available to me. If you are considering one of the larger storage models I would say go for it versus this 256GB version as it won’t be an issue later on, but for me I got this version initially because of budget reasons and it would work for me and my needs. My game would probably run alot better if it had the 16GB of RAM but I am okay with just using it as a media consumption PC.Not having to worry about batteries and all that jazz was a huge selling point for me versus getting, say a Chromebook. I have this plugged into my battery backup in the event of a power failure which alleviates my worries a bit.My only real complaint with this PC is the placement of the power button. I did accidentally press it causing the PC to go to sleep when connecting my mouse and keyboard, but this can be changed in settings as to what the power button does in settings. I do wish it was in the front, but it isn’t anything deal breaking.Overall, this is a great little PC for what I needed it for, which was to run 2 twitch streams via chrome. Your mileage may vary, but I feel confident recommending this PC for light to medium use. I don’t do video editing or any intense operations like that so I can’t comment on that. USB connections have been stable (no random disconnects) and the HDMI ports have both been running great. It runs Windows 11 just fine and aside from some user stumbles on figuring out where things are now and then (coming from Windows 10) it is just fine.I hope this review has helped you and have a blessed day <3

Amazingly Wonderful Windows 11 PC
If you’ve ever thought about getting a mini computer this is the best one to get. I’ve had several mini PCs … all of which have worked okay and then eventually died. This Kamrui mini computer astounded me at how easy it was to set up and how seamless everything is in working with it. I have a Dell desktop and this mini computer is equal to or even better than the Dell computer. I can’t say enough great things about this mini computer. It sets the standard for the way things ought to be done. And it takes up such minimal space on the desktop. I have LOTS of computers and this one really does impress me. It’s PERFECT. Buy it!
