It's been awesome so far. It boots in less than 20 seconds, is even smaller than I thought it'd be and is almost silent. I'm going to add an egpu using an enclosure so it would've been nice if it had an external Oculink port but I'll just use Thunderbolt/Usb4 or the second internal M.2 slot.

on sale this was a massive deal. good win 11 build almost no bloatware. as per answers from users, on first boot do not connect to web. only after a few boots. will need external storage but that is expected. very happy

I bought this to replace an aging (and venerable) NUC 7 to run my observatory which requires telescope control, dome rotation, basic/initial data stacking and plate solving. IYKYK. I required this to run on 12V. At least when I bought this, this was not specified to run on 12V on Amazon, though Bosgame's website indicates it runs on 12-20V. For my fellow astronomers out there, this is true.Background: I replaced the 512GB SSD with a 2TB SSD (Silicon Power 2TB NVMe M.2), upgraded to 32GB RAM (Timetec 32GB KIT(2x16GB) DDR4 2400MHz), and replaced the WiFi card with an Intel AX210. None of this was necessary, and this unit was still cheaper than any alternative I found with a processor at this performance level. The Wifi module upgrade was $26 and installed in 4 minutes. The RAM and SSD upgrades were easy for someone who can barely use a screwdriver and knows little about computers. Note: there is only one slot for the SSD. Opening this up showed decent quality control and an easy layout to work with.Power consumption: A stress test with N.I.N.A image capture, PHD2 guiding, Cartes du Ciel, Gemini mount control, ASCOM Hub (for dome control), and, just to make it interesting, SIRIL (astronomy image processing program) stacking 450 subexposures peaked at 37 watts before settling down to 25-26 watts with BIOS settings unchanged from factory settings ("Balanced performance"). Under "normal" conditions, meaning capturing images; controling the dome and mount and cameras; and PHD2 guiding running, this hummed along between 15-21 watts, so less than 2 amps. This is slightly less than my NUC7 with an i5-7260U processor, but this AMD 3550H processor has twice as many cores and threads. The speed improvement over my old processor was significant and immediately noticeable. This will also run laps around Intel N100-N300 processors while allowing for dual-channel RAM.WiFi - Astronomers will know why I automatically upgraded the WiFi module before even turning the computer on. For most users, the standard WiFi module will be more than good enough, but I'm running this 65 feet from my house. The computer is inside a fiberglass observatory. With the upgraded module, download speeds were around 240-260 Mbps in perfect conditions in the observatory with the computer away from the metal telescope pier and without an USB Wifi antenna. With the computer attached to a steel pier, the signal dropped (very expectedly) down to a respectable 35-70 Mbps download (enough for Windows Remote Desktop). As planned, I use this with a relatively cheap TP-Link USB wifi antenna away from the telescope pier. Wifi speeds in this configuration range between 150 to 220 Mbps download. The connection is quite stable and still plenty fast over Windows Remote Desktop. For comparison, inside my house, download speeds were over 600 Mbps, so the physics of walls and distance still apply. In my use so far, I have not had any latency issues controlling this from inside my home (with the computer outside in the observatory) using Windows Remote Desktop in a suburban neighborhood with quite a number of Wifi networks visibile (houses are close together). The connection does not drop.I ran a CrystalDiskMark Read/Write Test with the somewhat generic SSD I bought to replace this was a respectable ~2800MB/s write and a RNK4K speed of ~280MB/s. It is no speed demon, but this was both better than I expected and more than good enough for astronomy.In indoor and outdoor testing, I've only ever heard the fan turn on at initial startup. Even while "stress testing," I never heard the fan turn on during normal use. This thing was cool to the touch indoors and outdoors. I did check temps via HWmonitor a couple of times and never saw temperatures approach 50C. Heavy gamers might have a different experience here. It should be noted that astronomy programs intended to run telescopes and observatories do not tax processors and memory like modern games do, so gamers' mileage may vary. However, image stacking and processing programs can tax processors and memory a little and the fan never turned on and power consumption remained below 40 watts in my limited use.Cons:1. The plastic quality is somewhat to be desired. I'm nitpicking hard here as that same plastic allows for more effective WiFi range than my NUC had, which was a metal Faraday cage of otherwise beautiful build quality. I'd rate the build quality as good enough, particularly at this price.2. No SATA expansion slot: Hence the reason why I got a 2TB SSD. I knew this going in, and now you do. I will not take a star off of my rating for this because they do not advertise this as having the capability to add a second SSD/SATA drive.3. This is advertised as only being able to use 2400Mhz DDR4 memory, but the module inside the unit was 2666Mhz DDR4. I don't know whether this was faster memory operating at 2400Mhz or whether the motherboard/processor can handle faster memory, but I had bought new memory sticks for this computer before I knew I could potentially squeeze out a little more speed with 2666Mhz DDR4. It is difficult to call this a con because I don't know the actual limitations of the computer. For most users, this underpromise and overdelivery might be a good thing. If expecting to upgrade from 16GB RAM immediately, check with BOSGAME first to ensure it can only operate with 2400Mhz.Overall, in the two weeks I've had this, I've been happy with its performance for astronomy. It has significantly better performance than an ASIAir and uses marginally more power than otherwise lower-performing N97, N100-N305 Intel processors. 1-1.5A under normal loads is extremely reasonable either in the field or in an observatory. This thing is a steal thus far.

Good replacement for 14 yrs old desktop computer The mini computer is easy to setup windows 11 I was actually surprise how fast it is. I basically use it as steaming for videos it works great. Great for watching video off Pluto tv.Only disadvantage limited usb ports .

Excellent mini-PC at an affordable price. Initially struggled to power up, but then it started up without issue. Setting up Windows 11Pro was quick and easy as was installing Office 365. I have this mini-PC connected to a Lenovo docking station shared with my laptop and easily driving 4 monitors without issue. The M2 also upgraded all its drivers without issue and running smoothly since day 1 for one month now.The mini-PC is very fast without any computing lag irrespective of what I am running or how many programs I have open. The primary use is for stock trading and this pc has no problems at all running the heavy stock trader software I use.Installed a number of graphics programs and other productivity software without issue. Partitioned the 1 TB drive into a smaller OS drive and a larger data drive very easily and have not encountered any problems in the month of ownership.Pros:- Speed (fast processor) and small footprint- Not a single blue screen of death throughout my setup process- Easily handles 4 32” monitors (can’t speak to gaming)- Work well with docking stations- Plenty of USB inputs- Works well with USB audio (have large speakers and sub connected) - can’t speak to internal speakers.- Extremely quiet and does not get hot at allCons:- No dedicated video card- Not as expandable as a larger PCAll in all, this mini-PC is performing everything I would expect from a larger PC at half the cost and a fraction of the size. I did a lot of research on specs before purchasing and would definitely recommend this mini-PC.

When upgrading to Windows 11 from 10 using a slow desktop computer, I found this amazing little unit overwhelming but after getting to know all the settings and options, it was a pleasure to use for work, office etc. I'm not a big gamer and tried using some of the games out there but don't have a lot of time to spend on games.I'm very happy with the purchase of this machine BOSGAME M2 with speakers, Ryzen 9 7940HS 8 core 16 threads.

The media could not be loaded.

This is review is for model H66 (6600H 32GB RAM). When I took it out of the box, I heard a rattling noise. I opened up the case to inspect and found one of the screws that hold down the motherboard had fallen loose, and another MB screw was loose and about to fall out. It appears they come loose in transit. I tightened them down and feel confident they won't come loose again since this computer will be stationary. If you intend to carry yours around, I suggest using Locktite on the motherboard screws. While the case was open, I noticed it used two Crucial 16GB SO-DIMMs and a Kingston 512GB M.2 SSD. So basically, these use lower-end components. As for the computer's performance, it's being used for web browsing, watching videos, and playing simple games. The computer has ample power for that. It is physically very small and takes up little desktop space, which is a big plus. I don't like huge ATX towers. It was cheaper than building a desktop computer with comparable horsepower. Unless you're a serious gamer, these mini PCs will do most normal tasks just fine. Highly recommended -- but beware of the loose screw problem
