Is it feasible to replace desktop computers with mini computers? Got an EGSMTPC mini PC

Nowadays, many families rarely have computers. Since the advent of smart phones, many people's entertainment methods have been replaced by mobile phones from computers and televisions. Therefore, I found that many relatives and friends around me rarely have computers. Even if there are desktop computers, they don't take up space and want to sell them. However, many young families still regard computers as the standard configuration at home, which can be used but must be available. Indeed, no matter how powerful the mobile phone or tablet is, it cannot replace the computer as a productivity tool. However, we have to admit that mobile phones have replaced many functions of computers.

However, today's desktops are indeed developing to a certain extreme. In fact, the size of the previous desktops is not too big. Look at the size of the current desktops in pursuit of RGB light effects. However, I found that mini PCs such as NUC have begun to appear in the market. The mainframe is very small, and its performance is not poor, which can fully meet the general work needs. Some mini pcs even have the same performance as flagship desktops. The significance of the mini PC is that it can save more desktop space and completely solve the pain points of most families.

Recently, I was going to buy a second-hand computer and put it at home as a backup. I suddenly saw the article push of EGSMTPC's 200 $mini computer. The model is VX3 mini PC. I looked at the configuration. The Intel 10 generation J4125 4-core 2Ghz processor and the 8+256GB storage combination are fully capable of meeting my office needs. I don't plan to use a desktop computer at home at ordinary times. I just put the desktop computer at work and a small mini computer at home, The main reason is that the machine body is small. I also thought that it would be OK to move the room at will. In case of a good movie, put the living room into the TV and watch the movie. I thought it was very delicious, so I started a new one and experienced it for more than half a month. I talked with you about whether this pc is good or not and whether it is worth buying.

After getting the VX3 mini PC, first look at the size of the body. It really subverts my understanding. The whole body size is 168 * 118 * 37mm, which is equivalent to the size of the TV box used in our home. It is really small. The appearance is square and upright, nothing special, but it still looks very comfortable, which is in line with my aesthetics as a boy of science and engineering. The fuselage is made of aluminum alloy, which is comfortable to look at and feel. There is no need to worry about scratches.

As for the interface, the front of the VX3 mini pc is equipped with two USB3.0 interfaces, a TF card interface, and a 3.5mm MIC interface and an SPK interface.

On the back of the machine is a gigabit LAN interface, two USB 2.0 interfaces, one Type-C interface, two HDMI interfaces, and a power adapter socket. For the two HDMI interfaces on the back of the fuselage, this small console can actually be connected to two external monitors at the same time. For users who prefer to group multiple screens, it is still OK to change the small console to not have dual screens. However, it is recommended that the official place the Type-C port on the front of the fuselage behind the fuselage, so that the cables will not be so messy.

Next, dismantle the machine. There are four screws at the bottom of the machine body. Unscrew the screws to open the back cover. When opening the back cover, make sure that the lower flat cable is not disconnected. This flat cable is connected to a 2.5 inch hard disk. Later, you can install a 2.5 inch mechanical hard disk or solid state disk to expand the storage space of the computer.

Open the back cover, and you can see that although the VX3 mini PC is very small, the internal main board, hard disk, and memory are arranged neatly. It is absolutely a big factory. I have learned about the brand of EGSMTPC. They have always occupied the huge place in the sales of the mini pc in foreign countries, and are very famous. It is also easy to understand how exquisite the main board design of this host is. There is one memory module slot on the motherboard, which is inserted with an 8GB 2933MHz memory module.

Let's focus on the configuration. The CPU of this mini computer is equipped with Intel's tenth generation processor, and a J4125 with good performance. This CPU uses a 14nm process, which is excellent in performance and power consumption. Therefore, many ultrathin laptops use this series of CPUs without built-in fans. This CPU can run well by actively cooling. However, EGSMTPC is still equipped with a mute fan, so even if it is used for a long time, there is no need to worry about the performance degradation due to the cooling problem.

Finally, let's sum up. On the whole, the performance of this EGSMTPC launched mini pc, which is less than 200 $, can completely meet the needs of most families. If you want to ask whether it can replace ordinary desktops, I don't want to brag about it. The processor of the Intel 10 generation J4125 is equivalent to the fourth generation of Core i3 and the third generation of i5 in terms of performance, so compared with the old desktops at home, the performance is still very sufficient. However, the machine body is much smaller than an ordinary desktop computer. It is as big as a TV box. It is really convenient for daily use. It can be placed anywhere in the home to share a scene I use. For example, I use the Mini computer in my bedroom to download 4K high-definition movies. Previously, I had to copy them to the mobile hard disk and plug them into the TV to watch. Now, I can plug the VX3 mini PC directly into the TV. This is impossible for ordinary desktop computers.

Of course, you can even take it with you on occasional business trips. So, I think it's OK for a mini host like this to replace an ordinary desktop computer, but if you play a large 3A game, you can buy EGSMTPC other mini computers that support independent video cards, such as the MV200 series.
