As a word worker, computers have become a necessity for my work and life. Although many jobs can be completed on mobile phones, most of the word work must be better realized with the help of computers. Recently, I sort out my desktop a little. I found that this 1.6m table can no longer hold more things, and the notebook I used to use can only be placed under the table. So I began to look for a desktop small computer. First, I looked at Apple's mac mini, and I found that this small pc with excessive performance and high price obviously did not meet my selection needs.
First, clarify your own needs
When choosing a small desktop pc, I have several principles. First, the functions must be matched. Usually, my computer mainly inputs text and occasionally processes some pictures and videos, but the amount is not large. My requirement is that the performance should be relatively excellent to meet my use needs. After all, everyone wants a smooth office equipment; Secondly, the volume should be small and not take up too much desktop space; Moreover, the price must be appropriate. After all, I already have two laptops. If I spend more money on a high priced PC, it is not worth it.
After comparing a number of products, I finally chose this egsmtpc mu01 Mini pc. First of all, the performance is fairly good. From the perspective of configuration, there is no pressure to meet my daily needs; Secondly, this mini host is small in size, which really saves space when placed on the table; In addition, the price is awesome, 420 $.
In terms of accessories
We can see that in addition to the egsmtpc mu01 Mini pc, there is also a bracket, so when we install it, we can choose two ways, one is to place the desktop directly, and the other is to fix it on the monitor with screws, so that the monitor can become a desktop integrated machine.
From the appearance
The texture of EGSMTPC MU01 Mini PC is still excellent. The black matte body, the electroplating logo, and the details are also in place. It is placed on the desktop at will, which seems to have a sense of science and technology; If there is a white model, I think it will be even better.
Dimension:
The MU01 mini computer is about the same size as the TV box we usually use, 128 x 128 x 38mm, and weighs only 800g. Compared with my mobile phone, this is very obvious. If we need to work at ordinary times, we can also carry this mini host with us, which is very convenient.
In terms of interface
MU01 mini computer really surprised me. Although it doesn't have the size of the pc, the practical port configuration of this mini computer even exceeds that of many notebook computers. 2USB 3.0 interfaces, 1 Gigabit LAN interface, 1 type-C interface supporting DP display protocol and one HDMI interface on the front of the pc, 1 3.5mm headphone jack, 2 USB3.0 interfaces and 2 USB2.0 interfaces on the back, I believe most of the partners who buy mini pcs can fully meet their daily use needs.
Although the mini pc is small in size, the working intensity has not been reduced. In addition, the internal space is limited, so the heat dissipation of the mini pc is an issue that needs extra attention. In order to solve this problem, MU01 Mini PC first selects a 15W power consumption processor Intel i5-8265U, which ensures that the heating pressure is reduced from the source. Secondly, this host adds a large area of heat conduction plate and fan on the motherboard; In order to improve the heat dissipation capacity, there are also large-sized heat dissipation channels on both sides of the fuselage. In addition, the ventilation holes on the back make the overall temperature control capacity of the mu01mini computer very excellent.
Let's take a look at the two mounting holes at the bottom of the fuselage to facilitate wall mounting or display mounting. Remove the screws on the four corners of the pc. Let's take a look at the internal structure of MU01 mini computer.
After disassembly, pay special attention not to use brute force to avoid breaking the hard disk cable on the lower cover. In order to improve the later use experience of mu01 mini computer, this pc supports self installing 2.5-inch hard disk on the lower cover. If you feel that the hard disk space is insufficient or you happen to have an idle hard disk in your hand, you can install it by yourself, which is very simple.
In terms of main configuration
The egsmtpc Mini PC is equipped with a low-energy Intel 8th generation 8265u processor. As can be seen from the picture, mu01 mini PC is equipped with two 8GB memory modules and a 512gb M 2 solid state drives. The overall space is fully utilized. If there is still a need for upgrading in the later stage, the main pc also supports the 2400mhz DDR4, maximum 64GB dual channel memory and maximum 4T SSD storage capacity expansion. However, I personally think that this addition is of little significance. After all, the existing hardware level still meets the cost performance of this pc.
At home, there is a 2.5-inch hard disk that was removed from the router. It is still very simple to add a HDD Hard disk by yourself. Just remove the screws and insert it in the direction of the hard disk. My egsmtpc mu01 immediately adds 1t of hard disk space.
Let's sort out the main configuration of EGSMTPC MU01.
In terms of processor, it uses a 4-core Intel i5 8265u processor, with a basic operating frequency of 1.6GHz and a core frequency of 3.9ghz; The memory is two 8GB DDR4 2400mhz memory modules; In terms of graphics card, MU01 Mini PC uses Intel UHD graphics 620, with 24 execution units and operating frequency of 450mhz-800 MHz; The motherboard uses mu01 customized version, 512gb m.2 solid state drive. Generally speaking, a mini pc with such configuration can be bought at the price of 400 $, and the price performance ratio is very good.
Supported systems
What surprises me is that after starting up, we will see that mu01 Mini PC is equipped with windows 11 operating system, and I like the pure version of the system very much. If you like to toss, we can also install other operating systems including Ubuntu, CentOS, UOS and Android x86 according to your own needs.
At ordinary times, my work is mainly word processing, so a desktop Mini host like this can fully meet my work needs. Occasionally, I will use LR to process some pictures, call various tools, and preset batch processing. It is very smooth to use, and the speed of file processing and export is acceptable.
Occasionally, some video clips and UAV videos need to be edited, and I will use Pr to process them. I tested that the processing speed of multi video batch import is very smooth, and the response speed of editing, dragging and playing is also very good. In terms of rendering and exporting content, whether it is 1080p or 2K, this mini computer has no problem at all, but it needs a little patience.
As a MU01 Mini PC positioned as a light office pc, in addition to its poor performance in large-scale games, after all, the price and the size of the pc are here. Most importantly, this mini pc also has a very good experience in image processing and some daily video clips.
In view of my personal use needs, egsmtpc mu01 is worth getting started. First of all, from my personal needs alone, my main work at ordinary times does not require too high a performance of the pc. It is enough to be able to use it smoothly and meet daily text work. If I have a good performance in image processing and video editing, it will certainly be better; Secondly, I don't want to put a pc that takes up too much space on the desktop, and a lightweight and sufficient Mini computer is also a choice I prefer; In addition, I think the price is very good. A desktop pc with a price of $400 is equipped with the windows 11 operating system, which should be fragrant enough.
