Mini computers that can fit into your pocket only sell for 219$

[Yes, I just like its small template]

Because my first need is very clear, that is, small size and high appearance value, VX3-J4125 meets my needs in these two aspects.

The second is volume. Thanks to the use of the mini STX platform, EGSMTPC VX3-J4125 mini pc has a volume of only 2L. As for how small 2L is, it may not be obvious if you look at it alone. If you put a 500ml beverage bottle next to it, you can see that its volume is really small enough. It can be placed directly under the display, which does not occupy space and is not against the law.

Of course, it also comes with a VESA fixed bracket, which can be fixed on the display supporting this bracket, and can directly turn a display into a light and thin all-in-one machine without even putting it on the table.

Rich interfaces

Although it is small in size, it has many interfaces. On the front of the fuselage, there are two USB2.0 interfaces, two HDMI interfaces, one LAN interface and one type-C interface, as well as a power interface.

On the back, there are SPK and Mic interfaces, as well as a startup key and a TF card reader. The two USB 3.0 interfaces are used to connect the mouse and keyboard.

The rich interface also means that it can connect multiple display devices at the same time, and can cope with independent display or duplicate display.

The mini computer adopts a fanless design. On both sides of the body, there are its cooling air ducts. It sucks on the left and blows on the right. In normal use, you can hardly hear any sound. You can only feel the existence of this cooling air duct by doing some simple video clips and rendering occasionally.

[although the computer is small, it can be used]

The VX3-J4125 processor I bought adopts the desktop version of Celeron J4125 10W, which is a 10th generation Celeron processor. The 10W TDP thermal power consumption is quite energy-saving. 8GB DDR4 memory and 256gb SSD solid state drive are built in by default. The graphics card is a built-in Intel UHD graphics 600 core display.

To be honest, there is no problem with this performance when it is used at home for office. I can cope with it, including repairing a picture and making some simple video clips and rendering. However, due to the performance of the core display, it is impossible to play some large-scale games. After testing, in the default configuration, the League of heroes can only turn on low special effects to meet the group battle frame rate of about 60 frames. Of course, no one will really buy it to play games. The test here is just to let everyone have an accurate concept in mind.

[Performance is not enough? Do DIY yourself]

Some time ago, I disassembled a mobile phone, which led to a bit of disassembly recently. I also tried to disassemble this VX3-J4125.

Turn down the top of the computer body, remove the four rubber pads at the bottom, unscrew the four screws, open the upper cover, which is its hard disk layer. It supports connecting 2.5-inch solid-state drives. If you feel that 256g memory is insufficient to meet your needs for working from home, you can also change it yourself.

Remove the screws on the hard disk layer, lift up the hard disk layer, and you can see that there are two memory module slots, an m.2 SSD slot and a wireless network card slot inside, so if you want to install and replace the memory module or wireless network card, you can directly buy it back and replace it yourself. This kind of overlapping structure is very convenient from maintenance to later update iterations, and novices like me can safely disassemble it, Of course, if you are not confident in your own craftsmanship, vx3-j4125 also comes with an upgrade manual. Follow the above steps to upgrade these hardware devices easily.

[Summary]

To tell the truth, VX3-J4125, a mini computer, still has great potential in the field of office and business. The version I bought is the 8 + 256 version, which costs 220 $. If it is the 8 + 512 version, it only costs 249 $. If you only use it for office, the 8 + 256 version is actually enough. The overlapping internal structure also facilitates the timely updating of memory and hard disk.
