      Anyone used these products? experience, feedback?

      https://azulletech.com/product/quantum-byte/

      Looking for a "budget" mini pc (SFF).
      The Dell Optiplex 3050 SFF is out of the budget for this project.

      Any recommendations?

        It's on my list ... for a media server running KODI or similar. Add a DVD Drive, and I can replace the need DVD player, Smart TV or such.

        They should work find as a light - medium desktop

          I personally don't see much of a use case. IMO android does everything so much better less resource heavy than windows 10. What can you do with 2gb of ram and 32gb storage on windows 10?

              Run Fedora, Ubuntu, CentOS and Debian at the same time instead 😛

                For me, the plan is to use it as an inexpensive "thin client".

                    Yeah I agree if being used as a PC . Android is really nice as a media center.

                        Happy to have you back to the Android family. We are outnumbered by the Apple guys on ML. That is for sure.

                          I'm happy to be back. I missed my Google Now news feed. I'm struggling to use all of the battery from my Pixel 2 XL in one day though. Ends up with like 20% left. Life is tough.

                            I have Pixel XL and I love it. I am pretty sad I had to leave Copperhead OS and go back to the Google ecosystem. My Nexus 6P was just so dated that I couldnt run everything I wanted to run.

                            Copperhead offers their OS on the Pixel devices, but you have to buy the device from them for $1200 (which is ridiculous!). They offer their OS free to Nexus devices since they are old. I really wish they would just sell the OS 😕 so I can put it on my $230 phone lol.

                              Oh wow. Yeah that's crazy. I still have a Nexus 5 that's kicking. It always stays plugged in because the battery sucks but I use it to watch videos and stuff sometimes.

                                      I don't have experience with that particular brand but have used Intels NUCs in a number of different applications.

                                      I think the CPU is too weak on that one. Intel have a couple of NUC models that are priced similarly and some with bundled Win10 and memory / HDD so I would have a look at those. Look for instance at the older model with the J3455 cpu.
