Finally a full featured USB C! Yes, you can charge the device with it now. You do loose the second physical HDMI port but USB C is a very welcome trade. This model is just a little thicker than the previous one to make room for the cooling vents and fan. The fan is borderline obscenely loud and very much the worst part of the upgrade. I realize it needs a fan but this one is the loudest one I’ve heard in a while. Build quality seems great and the new one is the same color and aluminum shell as last year. The SoC is upgraded as well as the wireless card and RAM capacity. This year we also get up to 256GB of storage. I am hearing it’s SSD but I’m not sure as there barely a handful of information on these little guys on the entire Internet. The addition of the fan eliminates the over heating that last gen suffered from.
In addition to the incredible I/O offering these units have, there seems to be a reset button on the new model. I haven’t pushed it and I don’t want to. The power button has been moved from the front of the display to the upper right. In practice, I’m finding this to be one of the worst places for the power button as your fingers naturally grip the unit there while in your hands. I have accidentally turned this new machine off multiple times. There is a very ugly warranty void sticker just sticking across the bottom edge keeping you from opening up the unit. The sticker is crooked and out of place and looks like a bandaid on an otherwise svelte device. There is no chance I will leave it on. I am trying to overlook it but it may come off right after I write this review. Bottom line, if you were a fan of last years model, then this years model is even better and improves on nearly every issue the previous model had. Next year I really want to see a webcam added, better battery, and a better display (OLED?)

it has completely surpassed my expectations. Its compact size is perfect for saving desk space, yet it delivers powerful performance for everyday tasks, multimedia, and even light gaming. The setup was straightforward, and the fast boot times make it incredibly convenient to use. I’m especially impressed by how it runs despite its efficiency. Highly recommendation!

For many years, I’ve been searching for a mini PC that can function as an awesome MP3 & MP4 Player, as well as handling Bluetooth. Every other device I found was either too small, difficult to use or hold, or all 3! However, this little guy exceeded my expectations, but still needs some major enhancements in order to work well.

Pros:
1) Smallest & lightest mini PC on the market!
2) Includes touchscreen monitor – no need to connect an external monitor.
3) 16gb of RAM allows it to function as quickly as any other tablet or laptop.

Cons:
Requires MAJOR enhancements in order to work well:
1) (In white case) Bluetooth earbuds
2) 3x reading glasses from WM in order to more-easily view the small screen.
3) Cork strips on the back side in order to make it more comfortable to hold when it heats up:

4) Extra-fine stylus in order to make it easier to navigate the touchscreen:

5) Windows 11 is very hard to navigate if you’re used to Windows 7 or 10.

RECOMMENDED, as long as you’re aware of the limitations, & willing to spend LOTS of $ (about 100) in order to make it work well.

Nice but got so Hot burned hand. Would be great just as a small PC

It does what it's supposed to do, just gets hot after heavy cpu performance
