AWOW mini desktop computer Intel Celeron N3450 Performance review

It connects directly to HDMI for 4K and for all other definitions. The SSD (solid State Drive) allows the PC to run up immediately, and the best part about it is its portability. In addition to this, if you would like to buy a separate graphics card, the 6 GBs of physical memory will allow you to play demanding games that stress out most CPU/GPUS.

This box comes with 2.4G+5G WiFi, dual HDMI, bunch of USB ports, dual LAN, making it a breeze to connect a keyboard, mouse, printer and other devices you needed. I often do multiple things on it, open 4-5 tabs at a time, it runs smoothly, no lag, this is wonderful. The cooling fan is ok, it runs quietly, does have a faint noise.

It is perfect for web surfing, using Google apps and streaming online class videos. It’s had no problem with YouTube. I love it and plan to get more and set up computer stations for the kids.

I installed PFsense, and connected it to my network. Immediately I was getting faster speeds than I was getting with my expensive name brand router. It performed well throughout all my testing.
