Low cost mini PC VX3-J4125 evaluation: using Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 11

In recent years, the mini PCs launched by the company have become more and more advanced. They can even challenge the SFF specification (box capacity exceeds 20L) PCs in terms of performance and functions. The price of such mini PCs is generally expensive. Not long ago, EGSMTPC released a mini PC, VX3-J4125, which is a simplified version of the early mini PC and is relatively cheap.

VX3-J4125 Hardware Overview

CPU: intel CeleronJ4125 Memory: 8GB Storage space: 256GB

In terms of configuration, the performance configuration of the VX3-J4125 mini pc is similar to that of some high-end tablets.

There are few accessories in the package. In addition to the pc computer and paper documents, there is also a power adapter attached. The power adapter of the VX3-J4125 mini computer is 5V3A. It can be said that this small PC is also a super power saving PC, and there is also an HDMI extension cable. The VX3-J4125 mini computer is a super small computer that plugs into the HDMI interface of the monitor, TV, and projector, and can work when the power is turned on.

For a simple comparison on a laptop, this computer is too small. When working with a monitor and projector, you can almost ignore its existence.

Heat dissipation problem

The shell of the VX3-J4125 mini pc can be opened easily, which allows us to open it to peek at some internal structures. We can mainly see a large heat sink and more heat sink holes. The VX3-J4125 does not generate much heat. There is basically no fan on some tablets equipped with this CPU. Because of the high integration of the EGSMTPC mini pc, the CPU and flash memory chips are close together, Therefore, it also chooses active cooling.

The 2.4G/5G dual band network card also has a very small heat sink, which is very cute. This is a typical demonstration of a sparrow that is small but dirty. If the size of USB and other interfaces is not fixed, the PC can be smaller.

The VX3-J4125 mini pc is also very convenient to install. You just need to plug in the HDMI interface of the monitor, and then connect the power cord to use it. With a wireless keyboard and mouse, it is conducive to creating a clean desktop.

The size of the VX3-J4125 mini pc usually exceeds the lower border of the conventional display by a small section. You can see the tail from the front of the display, reach over to touch the power switch, and turn it on. It has a cool graphic display when starting.

Entering the system quickly, the familiar Windows desktop, VX3-J4125, is so small that it makes people feel like there is no pc.

In the system information, we can see that the operating frequency of the processor is 2.3Ghz, the available memory of the system is 8GB, and Windows 11 is pre installed. Since I am equipped with a 2K resolution monitor, the system resolution is 2560 x 1440.

I tested the basic operation of the system at 2K resolution. I felt that it was smooth without many windows and tasks, and there was no obvious delay. The built-in graphics card of Celeron J4125 could handle 4K resolution, as long as it didn't play big games.

There are many PC games for tablet platforms in the Windows application store. The performance requirements for the graphics card are not high. The games here can basically run smoothly on the VX3-J4125 mini computer.

I am also a fan of high-definition movies. The HTPC computer I assembled a long time ago is mainly used to connect the projector to play high-definition movies. As you can see, the pc is very large. In fact, if there is a super micro computer such as the VX3-J4125 mini pc, it can be used as an HTPC very conveniently, and it can also conveniently play the audio-visual programs on the network.

In addition to individual users, it seems that commercial users are also very suitable for using this Mini PC, such as shops that need to broadcast advertising films circularly, restaurants that order food with touch screens, cafes that provide Internet services, wedding photo studios that need to let customers see photo samples, etc. The VX3-J4125 mini pc is very similar to the TV host, but its size and power consumption are better.
