Nano A1 Linux Computer Desktop, Intel 12th Alder Lake N100 (up to 3.4GHz), 4GB DDR4 RAM 256GB PCIe SSD, Mini Computer Support 4K Dual Display/USB3.0/WiFi 6/BT5.2/RJ45/VESA Mini Office PC

The one with the Ryzen 7 5700U is amazing. Great Linux support, Ubuntu seemed to run fine but I removed it in favor of Gentoo. Had some troubles getting GRUB installed because the motherboard doesn't seem to support EFI variables, but installing grub with the removable option to /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi worked. Compiles very well with 16 threads, and the 32gb model I got is very stable at -j16 jobs. Would highly recommend to anyone, as it was only like $377 and delivers compilation power comparable to my $1.4k r9 laptop, especially if you're in the professional/softdev sector and don't need a dGPU.

[Updated: After using this for a couple of weeks, I'm still happy. But, the modest lagginess is a bit more noticeable. If you're one of those people whose blood pressure rises when the driver in front of you is doing 55mph and you want to do 57, you probably should buy a beefier box.You can reduce this effect by using a browser that lets you disable JavaScript on various sites. A lot of this is crap that slows down your machine but produces no value (for you).]My version has Ubuntu (Linux), 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. There are other sizes, and I think you can get it with MS Windows for about $30 extra. I think I paid about $170.The storage is NVMe and quite fast. I haven't benchmarked it, but the RAM seems fast as well. Probably the Celeron CPU is the choke point--four cores and not too fast. It's fine for run of the mill web browsing, and things like videos seem to work without stutter. If you're running a fat web app with lots of JavaScript, it might seem noticeably slow. Probably wouldn't be good for intensive gaming or image/video processing work.The form factor is very nice. There's a fan on the bottom, and it does make an audible sound in a quiet room. Probably similar to some laptops you've used. If there was other background noise, I'm not sure you'd hear it at all. (If you have noise-cancelling headphones, they kill the fan sound entirely.) The fan doesn't seem to be software-controllable.It's delivered with a recent LTS Ubuntu install, ready to set up. If you're paranoid, or just want the latest non-LTS version, it's an easy install from a flash drive. I haven't noticed any odd drivers being needed or anything like that. It's all Intel, aside from the ethernet chip, which is Realtek.Overall, I love it. If you're going to be disappointed by a lack of "snap" under heavier workloads, you might want to be with a more expensive CPU. (Generally, using MS Windows would require more CPU, versus Linux, so take that into account.)

Excellent value mini PC. Came with Ubuntu 22 installed. F2 bios key permits access to ISO boot of any OS you prefer. Runs Linux Mint 22 well. Ryzen 7 5700U 8 core, 16 thread processor. WD SN570 SSD. Realtek RTL 8821CE wireless/bluetooth. Fast boot, fast application loading. Easy to work on, modify, upgrade. Purchased on sale for around $300. The only negative for me is the Realtek wireless chip which does not work well with Linux Mint drivers. Installed an Intel AX210 and wireless/bluetooth works much better. Difficult to find a better value for a fully capable desktop computer.

Nice machine but made a quiet high pitch that set my ears ringing. Returned.

I plugged in this computer and went through the setup procedures. After a bit of confusion on what passwords were being requested for what, I finally got everything set up, and the UBUNTU OS operated smoothly. The computer is quiet, sits under my monitor, though I could mount it to the back of the monitor if I chose to. It works with my wireless keyboard with a dongle, and my blue tooth wireless. The Bluetooth was easier to set up than on my windows computer. So far, it has been a marvelous system and makes my Windows computer seem like it is crawling. I strongly recommend this mini to anyone thinking about using UBUNTU OS.

An excellent machine, fast and reliable, its only flaw… the stock version of Ubuntu and the inability to access the BIOS to install Ubuntu version 23.10. The size doesn’t match the speed of the machine, which is a true powerhouse in this version, far too powerful for playing Roblox, which can suffice with much less, but it will make an incredible office machine, provided you’re a system expert. On my end, mastering Mac OS, Windows, and Linux, it took me 4 hours to overcome it, install Ubuntu version 23.10, and then struggle to finish its installation manually because the Home wasn’t appearing, rendering the machine unusable.For those who want a simpler machine delivered with Ubuntu, I recommend one of the models from Belkin. In case of issues, you’ll have real access to the BIOS and thus the possibility of performing a “clean install” of version 23.10. The model we present to you will be perfect for experts. This small machine has two Ethernet ports like the old Mac Pros, Wi-Fi 6, and two HDMI ports, a headphone output, two USB 3.2 ports on the front, and two other USB ports at the back of the machine.Wi-Fi 6 works very well; however, I recommend using the Ethernet port if possible for installations and updates or if your work requires handling large files, as Wi-Fi is by definition fluctuating and unstable for such operations. If needed, you can add a Blu-Ray player. And for your information, even though we managed to recognize and print with a lot of effort using a LaserJet Pro MFP M130fw printer, the HP Envy Photo 7855 is recognized by the system but unusable due to the inability to perform a “clean install.” The installation via the terminal was also very problematic, forcing us to install a whole bunch of elements manually. For this color photo printer, we found no solution; we’ll have to wait for a future update…So, it’s a very well-designed machine. Hopefully, the manufacturer will offer versions with Ubuntu 23.10, which would solve quite a few issues, as version 22.04 is very problematic for printer management and other functions.

Good purchase, and save a lot of room on my desk.

The media could not be loaded. Hardware wie beschrieben: i.O.Software : Ubuntu 22.04 OK, ABER ohne Root Passwort. d.H. NUTZLOS. ( Eigene User ist kein sudoer, auch nutzlos )Cybergeek Service: Nutzlos, Sie können mich nicht helfen, weil sie meine Auftrag nicht finden können.Meine Vermutung ist, dass Amazon.de das Gerät Amazon.com (USA) bestellt hat und Amazon USA hat Cybergeek das Gerät bestellt.So Cybergeek hat keine Ahnung von mir.Lösung: ich habe Debían 12 rein installiert.

This is LINUX... but I was able to get it into WIndows for a good price.
