In the early years, the mini PC was also a niche digital, and DIY was the mainstream, but in recent years, it has become increasingly popular. There are many reasons. For example, the computer hardware is becoming stronger and stronger, and even miniaturization can meet the needs of many users; Many other users simply like the compact and delicate body design of the mini PC, which does not have much demand for the desktop placement, and can be used as a part of the table itself. Others like its portability and can change the usage scenarios at any time.
The mini PC is just a general name, such as Intel's NUC series and Apple's Macmini are relatively well-known brands. However, in recent years, more and more brands have been introduced, such as ASUS, MSI and the rising star EGSMTPC are among the best. It also proves that the capital market is optimistic about this field.
The EGSMTPC brand has been so popular recently that many big shots in the station have taken advantage of its host computer, and they can easily get relevant reviews. I have been paying close attention to it recently. It seems that the workmanship, performance and even the price are very good.
「 Model 」: EGSMTPC F8 Mini PC
"Processor": Intel's 11th generation i5/i7 Core Mobile Processor
[Memory]: 16GB SO-DIMM DDR4 3200MHz (optional)
[Hard disk]: 512GB NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD (optional)
Use scenario display
Many friends can't get the fun of this miniPC. Here's my usage scenario.
The most common use of mini PC is as HTPC. As we all know, the large screen terminals of major video websites are charged separately, while the PC and mobile phone members are much cheaper, and many members of shopping websites will directly package and give away. Use F8 Mini PC to watch videos directly on the large screen. The effect is good, and the number of videos displayed on the same screen is more.
Because of the Windows system used, the streaming of Steam can be perfectly implemented. Even the 3A masterpiece is trivial. In addition, the advantage of streaming is that you don't need to install it. You just need to change the location and bring the F8 Mini PC. Whether it's the sofa in the living room or the bedroom, you can play when you want, which is more convenient than using the mainframe.
The performance of the F8 Mini PC can easily meet the office needs. If you plan to put it on the workstation, you can also use the attached bracket to fix it on the back of the display, making the desktop more concise.
The F8 Mini PC has a powerful multi screen output capability, and can achieve 4K/60Hz three screen output at the same time. This output capability is more than enough for both station expansion and office entertainment.
Hardware interpretation and performance test
The F8 Mini PC is equipped with Intel's 11th generation Core mobile processor, 4 cores, 8 threads, a maximum acceleration clock frequency of 4.8Ghz, a three-level cache of 12MB, and a TDP power consumption of 28w. Moreover, the Intel Iris Xe core GPU has found a perfect balance in terms of CPU, GPU and power consumption.
Although it is positioned as a mobile processor, its overall performance exceeds that of the desktop 10400.
Run CPU-Z to check the hardware information. Run a single core and multiple cores. The single core score is 678, and the multiple cores score 5272. The performance of the mobile terminal is already very good. In addition, the power consumption of this processor is extremely low, only 28W. Low power consumption brings better heat dissipation effect, and there is no need to worry about the performance limitation when running for a long time.
The other fan of the host can be seen by removing the screws on the bottom cover. The dual fan design makes the heat dissipation performance of the host better. This is also the advantage of mass production. It is difficult for DIY to achieve such a perfect fit and give consideration to heat dissipation. By the way, the F8 Mini PC supports SATA HDD expansion.
The upper part of the back is the air outlet, and the lower part includes 2.5G network interface, HDMI 2.0X 2, USB3.0 X 2, USB2.0 X 4, Type-C3.1 and DC power socket. The opening of the metal shell is extremely accurate, which is perfectly matched with the interface on the motherboard, and the process precision is really in place.
The front includes the power on button, USB2.0 X 2
The base plate is also made of metal. It is printed with the host manufacturing information and quick settings. The strip silicone feet on both sides can firmly grasp the desktop, while lifting the entire body to avoid scratches when contacting the plane. A silica gel handle is separately set on the upper right for easy disassembly, and the details are really in place.
As an old rule, mini PCs such as F8 Mini PC have precise positioning. If you are a performance oriented user, it will not be suitable for you. Its advantages are shown in the following aspects, and you can take your seat accordingly.
· Those who pursue a simple desktop and have high requirements on the appearance of the host. The aluminum body of the F8 Mini PC impressed me deeply. The workmanship and texture were of a high standard. In addition, the internal layout of the host is reasonable, and the performance expansion is also free. At the same price, it is definitely T1.
· Audiovisual fans. As an HTPC, its performance is beyond the standard, and Intel's core display codec performance is strong. Whether online or local, whether high-definition or ultra high-definition, it is a piece of cake for it. Its slim size can be regarded as an excellent assistant for TV and projection. It is also more cost-effective to use PC side members than open TV side members.
· It is also suitable for game enthusiasts. Although the performance of the F8 Mini PC is not enough to cope with 3A blockbusters with high image quality, multiplayer games and games that are not good at image quality are still no problem. In addition, streaming and cloud game platforms are complementary. The experience of playing on a large screen is better than that of a display.
Perfect for light office work. In fact, miniPC was originally positioned as an office scene. Its compact body can be integrated with the display, and its performance can meet the needs of daily office work. The advantage of the F8 Mini PC is that it has its own interface. No matter how many external units there are, there is no problem.
