A low-cost, low-power computer

I am reviewing the N95 16gb RAM 512gb SSD model in case it’s unclear.

4 cores, 4 threads – the N95 is actually fairly capable for what it is. I have used this model as a Proxmox node and as a desktop Linux machine, and it’s pretty good for both. I haven’t had any trouble with WIFI or Bluetooth on Linux using the 6.5 kernel.

Adding a 2.5″ SATA SSD is very simple with this case – much easier than other MiniPCs I have opened.

I think these are sometimes advertised as gaming PCs but you should research what you’re getting if that’s your intention. There are plenty of YouTube videos that benchmark the N95 against games. It can do some emulation and it can run some 2D indie titles from Steam that don’t need 3D acceleration but any newer 3D game, even at 720p and lowest settings, will probably not be great. As a low-power, low-cost, and light-use home server or desktop it does the job, however. For me, this makes more sense as a ‘way more powerful raspberry pi’ than a ‘way less powerful gaming PC’.

The fan noise is definitely audible when it ramps up, but for simple desktop tasks you probably won’t hear it much. The BIOS is pretty simple but easy to manage – I didn’t have any trouble installing Proxmox / Linux with hardware virtualization.

One thing to note is that I think the HDMI ports on it are an older spec. I was not able to get 4k/60hz out of it. It will do 4k/30hz, and 1440p/60hz. If I set it to 1080p I can get it up to 120hz.

So far, so good: simple setup, good to have VGA port

The setup (through startup and quick, preloaded Windows 11 installation) was quick, and as simple as I’ve ever seen. The included instructions were short, sweet and clear. My particular multi-PC setup uses a switch between VGA-connected PCs, so it is nice (and quite unusual) to have a new Win-11-compliant PC with that old style port. (It also has HDMI.) I’ve only used it a few days, but I’m super-pleased (as a basic user of business apps, browsing and general videos), especially at this price point.

Awesome Mini Powerhouse with Outstanding Customer Service!

In November of 2022, I purchased the KAMRUI GK3 Plus Mini PC with 16GB RAM and a 512GB M.2 SSD, and let me tell you, it has blown me away! This mini marvel is an absolute powerhouse packed into a sleek, tiny form factor.

The processor’s performance is nothing short of spectacular. It handles tasks with lightning speed, making multitasking a breeze. From streaming to gaming, this mini PC delivers a smooth and lag-free experience. The 16GB RAM ensures that everything runs seamlessly, and the 512GB M.2 SSD provides ample storage with lightning-fast read and write speeds.

Speaking of size, this mini computer is unbelievably compact. It’s like having a high-performance computer that fits in the palm of your hand. Perfect for those tight spaces or if you simply want a clutter-free setup. The sleek design adds a touch of modern elegance to my workspace. I currently use 3 screens: a 24″ and 2, 22″ displays. It has no problem running Excel, Word, Chrome and Outlook across all three screens at the same time.

Now, let me highlight the exceptional customer service that sets KAMRUI apart. After over a year of daily use, the built-in fan started making some noise. Concerned, I reached out to their customer support team. They responded promptly and were very engaging.

What’s truly remarkable is their commitment to customer satisfaction. Since they couldn’t replace the fan, they went above and beyond by replacing the entire computer! Yes, you read that right – a brand new mini PC. Now, that’s what I call exceptional service.

In a world where customer service often falls short, KAMRUI has set a new standard. If you’re in the market for a mini PC that combines stellar performance with top-notch customer support, look no further than the KAMRUI GK3 Plus. It’s a game-changer!

Nicht ganz okay, aber guter MiniPC

ACHTUNG! Guter MiniPC, gute Performance, ABER:

– Netzteil mit Stecker fuer USA Steckdosen
(ich hatte einen Adapter, so kein grosses Problem. Man braucht NICHT einen Adapter mit Spannungsumwandlung, das Netzteil kann 110 – 240V verdauen, diese einfachen Adapter sind auch nicht teuer.)

– Einer der USB 3.x Ports ist tot, nicht funktioninsfaehig

– Der N95 Intel CPU ist eine eigentlich nicht zu verkaufende Testversion (Engineering Sample CPU), die eigentlich noch Intel gehoert und den Computerfirmen nur leihweise zur Verfuegung gestellt wird.
Diese Prozessor Version ist moeglicherweise fehlerhaft.
(Nebenbei bemerkt hatte ich bewusst diesen MiniPC mit dem aelteren Intel N5105 bestellt, da dieser 2 RAM Channels unterstuetzt – ich erhielt jedoch das MiniPC Modell mit N95, der ein Upgrade darstellt durch insgesamt bessere Performance, aber nur 1 RAM Channel unterstuetzt und es dadurch bei Grafik zu Engpaessen kommen kann)

Editado 24 de septiembre.
Resumen:
Recomiendo para el día a día de la oficina, escuela, navegar, videos, música, un poco de juegos que no sean demandantes-emulación de consolas de generaciones pasadas.
Si vas a jugar títulos más bien recientes, editar video, streaming, u otras cosas que sabes que necesitas un equipo potente, ve por otra opción, que hay muchas. Como abajo, menciono Beelink, es la que tengo y uso yo.
Reseña más a detalle:
Es para mí hermana, yo lo elegí por funcionalidad, ella por “bonito”, pero cuando llegó era de otro color. Tan sólo tiene una ranura para la RAM, ya ocupada por 16 gigas (un punto bueno al menos). Probablemente hay un modelo similar con dos ranuras, pero casi no encuentro información que lo diga directamente, o es RAM soldada a la tarjeta madre, es decir: no se puede expandir, ni reparar en caso que falle.
Es difícil acceder al almacenamiento; hay que quitar muchos tornillos de ambos lados, afortunadamente nada se ve frágil ni fácil de romper en un descuido. De todos modos, se tiene que hacer con cuidado.
Aunque eso sí, el plástico de la carcasa se siente barato. Ya compré antes una mini PC Beelink, y este definitivamente es de rango más bajo en cuanto a eso.
Aunque en videos y reseñas se ve que tiene almacenamiento m.2 tamaño 2230, al abrirlo, para mi grata sorpresa es de 2280-los más comunes ahora. Probablemente ha tenido revisiones, pero, como dije, no encuentro información confiable y actualizada de estos modelos.
Después de iniciarla (Windows 11), la apagué y removí la unidad que traía. Le puse la unidad de otra computadora (Windows 10) y al principio, como esperaba, da pantallazo y marca errores, pero después de aplicar una reparación al inicio de sistema, se puede uno mudar con su sistema y archivos. Claro, hay que actualizar para que reconzca los dispositivos, y volver a introducir contraseñas de internet. En mi caso, El sistema reconoció que la unidad que mudé tenía la opción de activar BitLocker, para mayor cifrado de datos mediante contraseña o una “llave” que puede ser una unidad USB, pero no usamos esa opción, por lo que marca una señal de advertencia en las propiedades de Equipo. Se puede ignorar, no afecta.
