Bmax Mini PC Mini Desktop Computer Intel Celeron J3355 (Up to 2.5GHz) Win 11, 6GB RAM 128GB eMMC Support M.2 SSD Expansion (512GB/2TB), 4K Dual Display WiFi5& BT5.0 for Home/Office,Daily Use,B1 Plus

We regularly acquire mini PCs in our office to test out enterprise network software in a controlled environment. This BMAX MaxMini B2 mini PC seems just right for my next project, and after using it a couple of days, I'm impressed. (See my video for setup and initial use) The packaging looks nice with a gaming theme although I wouldn’t recommend this PC for gaming. Inside the box is the mini PC, HDMI cable, VESA mount adapter, and power supply. The device is very light yet looks very premium. I love how glossy the top cover is of this mini PC, it looks very nice, but is horribly a fingerprint magnet. The device has enough air vents to cool down this little beast. I like that the amount of IO ports on this computer is just enough as a casual productivity device as well as an entertainment device. Initial setup was very quick and easy, I was able to get it running in just a few minutes. Once logged in, Windows will perform major updates, and that will take a little while to finish. I suggest to just let it run for a couple of hours so as not to interrupt whatever you need to do. Once the updates were finished, I was able to load productivity and office apps very easily. This device was also able to play 4K videos without any issues. Great for media consumption. The quad core CPU is very capable of handling multi-tasking office apps and I was able to load at least 4 apps without any performance issues. The 8GB memory is the sweet spot for office computers these days, anything lower than that can be an issue with multi-tasking. I also opened up the device and for this model there are 2x M.2 slots, one of the slots (in use) is M.2 SSD, and the extra one is M.2 NVME. The NVME slot is great if you need a faster SSD later on. I also noticed that this model has 2.5 SATA bracket on the cover to install a 2.5 drive, but I could not find any SATA port nor did this include any SATA cable for expansion, but that’s fine for me as I don’t plan on using a 2.5 inch drive. I intend to use this device with Linux in our labs, and installing Linux on this computer is a breeze. All the hardware were detected (using Linux Mint) and functioning properly (including Bluetooth and WiFi). In a Linux environment, everything in this computer feels faster and snappy compared to Windows. Linux also has a better memory management and I was able to load more apps at the same time without encountering any issues. In all my testing the temperatures in this computer is just averaging at around 60 degrees Celsius, that is pretty cool in current standards considering how small this device is. So far, I am very impressed with the performance of this little beast. I intend to use this as a headless console for software development, and the performance far exceed for what I need. If you are looking for an office computer with a very small footprint, this mini PC is an excellent option.

Really happy with this mini PC. It’s small, easy to set up, and works great for everyday stuff. Doesn’t take up much space either, which I really like.

This was the most expensive paperweight ever. It turns on, but takes SEVERAL minutes to even open an icon or tab, then randomly stutters and shuts off. I reached out to BMax on THREE SEPARATE days starting the day I received the junk computer to try get my issue resolved and over a week later and STILL NO RESPONSE from BMax. I 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND. I WANT A FULL REFUND.

Need to purchase a mini desktop to use in the office, and accidently find this one. It works really great. No noise, and the desktop runs smoothly with good reponse and processing speed. Setup is easy with MDPI cable there. There are few USB-C and USB ports.

This is the fourth Mini PC in a row I have purchased. I returned the first the first three (2 Beelinks and a Guzila). The problem with the ones I returned was that all of them claimed to handle 4K video and NONE of them did. A couple would reach 720p once in a while and the other usually only ran well at 480P. This one is better. It "almost" handles 4k but freezes every 3-10 seconds for a moment...however, it seems OK at 1080 HD...so I give up. I am going to keep it. The problem is not my Internet connection or wi-fi... I am using hard-wired RJ45 Ethernet with and extremely fast Internet connection. My laptop flawlessly handles 4K on two 32" monitors simultaneously like a champ on the same connection. I don't know what it is...do I keep getting lemons? The customer reviews on all four of these largely make no mention of 4K problems. With all that said (and putting the 4K issues aside) I really love this BMAX. It is otherwise quick and powerful and juggles dozens of web pages at the same time with ease so I am keeping it. It has great I/O ports intelligently located...AND.... I just don't have the energy (or money) to return and upgrade one more time. (I have already spent twice what my first Beelink cost.) It's a good purchase, but if you are adamant about streaming 4K...I hope you have better luck than I did.

Was able to screw it onto the back of a 32" TV which i use as primary screen, and have added a second screen to the side for the Zoom (I teach from home). I have tried the option to add a third screen and that worked great. It does get warmer that i thought, though it hasnt gotten terribly hot yet. The 12Gb RAM makes handling documents a breeze ( I use 100+ page Powerpoint files which stress most systems, not this one), and with the addition of a windows camera this is perfect for teachign from home. I am not an avid gamer so the few strategies games I play work just perfectly. probably wouldnt run latest/greatest games as the Arc Iris graphics processing unit is not on par with the typical gamer video card, but it is good enough to play Skyrim. It arrived (really fast shipping to Costa Rica!) with windows 11 pre-installed, and ready to go. I turned it on, added details to creat emy account, and installed my own version of MS Office 365, Zoom and Chrome etc, and was ready to go in about 30-40 minutes. The best thing about this is its size, and the punch it packs for the size. I have 2 portable LCDs screen (15" and 11"), and when travelling I take the 2 screens, this computer and a wireless keyboard mouse combo, which work as well as and takes a little less space that my 15" laptop! I woudfl highly recommend such a small computer to anyone sitting on the fence, and this particular one (the BMAX B6) seems to be the best buy, and a greta sweet-spot above the cheesy-low powered ones and below the pricey ones. In fact there are many that perform worse than this (like N100, N95, etc) that sell for more here on Amazon.

Product works great!! I am very pleased within the first few hours of using device! I would definitely recommend Bmax products to others!!

This mini computer works fine for my purpose, boots fast and runs openmediavault just fine, BUT it is not what the description says it is. The description states it has a pop off cover and room for a 2.5 inch HDD. Well, there is no pop off cover (4 screws) and no rack for a 2.5 HDD. Just an expansion PCIe ssd slot. Take this into consideration if you want to expand this computer.
