Can the palm sized Mini PC really be used for office and entertainment?

In recent years, both laptops and mainframes have started to take the mini route. Many times, we may suspect that miniaturization is based on reducing performance. If this is the case, then miniaturization is meaningless. In recent years, many major PC manufacturers have launched Mini PCs, with good market sales and reputation. In recent years, due to the epidemic, more and more people have found it necessary to have a portable desktop computer. After all, no one knows whether they will work at home tomorrow.

Whether it is notebook computers or PC hosts, we usually choose big brands. But EGSMTPC has been quietly researching and manufacturing Mini PCs, and its products have been recommended by many oil pipe gods. Its sales abroad are very hot, and the workmanship and performance are good. To find out what happened, I recently started the VX3-J4125 Mini PC just launched by his family. Let's talk about it.

Small and exquisite appearance, solid workmanship

The VX3-J4125 Mini PC has a small and square appearance, weighs about 1.5kg, and the size of the whole body is 168 * 118 * 37mm, which is basically the size of an adult's palm. The overall volume is about 1/40 times of that of a standard desktop computer. It can be placed at the bottom of the monitor bracket without occupying the effective area of the desk. In addition, EGSMTPC is equipped with a wall mounted bracket for each mini host, which can be fixed on the back of the monitor.

The VX3-J4125 Mini PC adopts a dark gray all metal body design, which has a strong sense of integration. The surface is sanded and is not easy to be stained with fingerprints. The four vertical edges and corners are processed by natural transition, which can effectively prevent scratches and bumps. At the same time, the four sides of the top are processed by cutting technology, making the whole machine look more sophisticated and advanced.

Some cooling holes are distributed in the front control area. From left to right, they are TF Card, two USB3.0 interfaces, 3.5mm SPK, MIC and power on button. The power on button is comfortable to press, and the feedback speed is fast.

The back interfaces of this Mini computer are more abundant than many laptops, including gigabit network interfaces, two USB2.0 interfaces, Type-C interfaces, two HDMI interfaces (supporting 4K dual screen display) and power ports. Unfortunately, there is no lightning interface, but the existing interfaces can fully meet the daily office needs. In addition, an air outlet is designed under the interface.

The hardware configuration is awesome, and the performance is optimized

In terms of hardware configuration, the VX3-J4125 Mini PC is equipped with an Intel 4-core 4-thread Celeron J4125 processor, with a main frequency of 2GHz, a maximum Rui frequency of 2.7GHz, a TDP of 10W, and a maximum memory of 8GB. The standard memory configuration is 8GB, and the main hard disk uses 256GB M.2NVME SSD.

In terms of hardware, it seems good. It belongs to the level that the current mid tier processor can reach. Apart from the video card, this level of pc can run large games such as lol smoothly, and it is no problem to watch high-definition movies every day. We will introduce the actual performance in detail later.

The VX3-J4125 Mini PC is pre installed with 64 bit Windows 11 Professional Edition system at the factory.

The loaded SSD has a reading speed of 3500MB/s, but the writing speed is lower, but it can fully meet the daily needs, and the main hard disk uses M 2 SSD interface has faster read and write speed and stronger compatibility. The VX3-J4125 Mini PC supports a maximum expansion capacity of 2T. There are two slots inside the machine body, which are mainly used to install the system. When leaving the factory, only SSDs are installed in this slot (users who do not want to install additional SSDs can use them separately). Generally, they are used to install storage disks. The entire disassembly and assembly process is relatively simple, and users can choose to expand them later.

In general, the hardware configuration of the VX3-J4125 Mini PC has reached the level of a mid tier PC host, and after constant optimization by EGSMTPC, all the hardware performances have been given full play. It can be seen from the disassembly of the machine body that the internal hardware layout is relatively orderly, and it can be seen that the on-board memory has been unable to expand, but 8GB can fully meet the daily office needs, and it should be no problem to occasionally use the adobe whole family barrel.

Easily meet the office needs, with good heat dissipation

The hardware condition of this Mini PC looks good, but it still depends on the actual use experience. The VX3-J4125 Mini PC can be connected to two 4K monitors for users who like to speculate in stocks or multitask at the same time.

It only takes about 30 seconds to test the actual boot time. The whole process of watching some high-definition 4K movies is smooth, and it can easily process some office documents. Opening 120MB documents or PPT is instantaneous. In addition, the installation and use of PS retouching are also relatively smooth. Photos with large 4K resolution can also be imported quickly. The adjusted photo rendering and export speed is also fast. The actual processor occupation is about 30%, and the temperature is also 50 ℃.

As an amateur We Media worker, I occasionally use PR to edit videos. The VX3-J4125 Mini PC basically has no problem editing 1080P 50 frame videos. Even if some special effects are added, there will be no jam. It only takes 6 minutes to render a 5-minute video. In addition, the sound from the cooling fan is small and can hardly be heard. But it's a little hard to edit 4K videos, but we should be satisfied with the configuration and price.

The VX3-J4125 Mini PC also has a built-in mainstream WiFi5 module, which can connect to the wireless network launched by many gigabit routers. It is not restricted by wire materials when used at home at ordinary times, and it will also be very convenient for children to surf the Internet. In addition, it is also equipped with mainstream Bluetooth 4.0, which can use a variety of wireless devices, such as wireless keyboard and mouse and Bluetooth speaker, greatly reducing the use of wire, making the computer desktop look cleaner.

Summary

Through the use experience in this period of time, my understanding of Mini PC has been completely changed, and the volume has been compressed without reducing the performance. The VX3-J4125 Mini PC is not only compact and beautiful in appearance, but also surpasses some light and thin laptops in performance. It can fully meet the needs of daily office work, audio and video entertainment, online classes and drawing repair. It is also easy to use it occasionally to edit videos. Besides, the body has good heat dissipation control and the fan makes less noise. The compact machine body is also convenient to carry when going to and from work at ordinary times, even in case of sudden home office situations.

If you also plan to purchase a Mini PC, the VX3-J4125 Mini PC is definitely a good choice
