Built in Win 11 mini computer with replaceable components! MU01 Mini PC Unpacking Evaluation

As computers become more and more powerful, in fact, for many clerical workers and even video editors, the desktops or notebooks they use may be in a state of "over performance"! To put it simply, in the operating environment, the hardware specifications have long exceeded the software performance requirements. In an environment that does not require multiple or high-speed computing (such as games and 3D graphics), a set of so-called "low level" or small size computers can meet the needs of most people!

In the past, we have introduced many mini PC small computers to you, and this article is to bring you the MU01 Mini PC, which uses Intel Generation 8 and i5-8265U processor as the platform architecture. The model of this computer is MU01 Mini PC, which is sold for the most reassuring EGSMTPC. The product is mainly aimed at users who need a mini chassis size but want to retain good hardware expansion capability and stable and sufficient performance.

The MU01 Mini PC we borrowed is equipped with an Inteli5-8265U (4C, up to 3.90 GHz) processor, built-in 512GB NVME data access space, and a set of M 2 PCIe 3.0 SSD expands storage space, built-in Windows 11 operating system, and can be used quickly without any professional skills!

The memory part is configured with two sets of DDR4 SO-DIMMs, and two 16GB DDR4 memories are pre installed. Users can easily upgrade the original installation at any time.

On the whole, MU01 Mini PC provides the best solution for the size of mini computers for general clerical users or for various business environment needs (such as POS and KIOSK)! Then let's go to the introduction of unpacking.

Unpacking

The box contains a product manual and a North American power cord.

The power required by the system is not high, and the processor TDP is only 15W, so the configured transformer is very small; There is also a small sticker attached to the processor

The front panel of the host provides the power on/off button, two USB 3.0, two USB2.0, 3.5mm analog microphone inputs and stereo audio output from left to right. The Power indicator of the power on/off button on the left will light up when the host is turned on.

Although the mini computer is small, there are still a lot of I/O expansion terminals at the rear of the host. Let's start from the right; There are 19V DC in power input, HDMI 1.4, two USB 3.0, Type-C, RJ-45 wired network connectors (10/100/1000) of USB-A, and Mini DisplayPort 1.4.

The chassis size is only 128 x 128 x 38 mm, but it can also provide quite good performance and expandability. In this way, the mini desktop is convenient for users to use for various applications (such as multimedia player center, POS system or KIOSK), and can also be installed behind the computer screen (fixed through the VESA hole).

Internal structure design

After loosening the four screws of the base, the base can be removed smoothly; From here, we can see that a heat conduction sheet for M.2 SSD is pasted on the base in advance.

It is not easy to reserve DIY space for users to replace components on a very small motherboard area! The other side of the motherboard is the configuration area for processors, heat dissipation components and other electronic parts.

Two sets of memory modules are provided for self installation or replacement (DDR4-2933 1.2V SO-DIMM)

The memory granules of the configured memory module are single sided, so you don't need to worry about the back heat dissipation.

Performance testing

Finally, enter the link of performance test; First of all, let me remind you that this article tests a very economical entry-level MU01 Mini PC, so the performance of the preset hardware specifications cannot be compared with that of the middle and high level computers. However, you can upgrade or replace the memory and SSD storage space and speed. If you need a higher processor, remember to choose another model at the beginning!

Here you can see the processor, memory and operating system information (preloaded Win 11 Home Edition)

The SSD configured is SATA, so the speed is limited; If you want to have high-speed data access, install the M 2 SSD!

Use experience summary

Perhaps we never thought that a computer that can be used for home or business could be as small as a palm! In addition to being placed on the desktop or hidden behind the screen without taking up space, it can even be easily carried away at any time! If you want to purchase a desktop computer system, whether you want to use it in the office business space or place it at home, you are strongly recommended to learn about the MU01 Mini PC represented by EGSMTPC, because it will overturn everyone's imagination of the computer host, and it can also have strong expansion capability and efficiency!
