Redmi note 9 pro please.. 😁
Fantastic review. Love the throughness and honesty throughout your reviews.
I find myself watching reviews of yours on products I can virtually guarantee i'm not out to purchase just for educational angle.
Thanks for the effort you out into your channel.
A little tip that if doable would be great... The Gamers Nexus channel on all their videos have a countdown of each topic covered in the video. This feature is so neat.
I know you have your timestamps at the beginning of the video and pinned in comments, i just think that"s a great step up.
Thanks again, your reviews are some of the best on the whole of youtube even though you aren't yet rewarded with the numbers and credit to support.
Thumbs up.
Hi!
Does this mini pc support 3 monitors simultaneously?
Thanks
any chance you could review the BMAX B5??
Do you know which SATA cable to use here and where to buy it?
Great review as always Chris! Maybe bios update could solve heating problems?
Possibly if they increased the fan RPMs
@@Techtablets I would guess that the potential for overheating is why they did not enable the SATA port for an internal spindle drive, which would seem to block air flow and add more heat.
The ultimate feature that would be a great edition to these mini pc is thunderbolt 3. You can add an egpu which means you will have a minimalist gaming beast.
You can add an eGPU to it using this th-cam.com/video/BrmHVL6zgGs/w-d-xo.html but you have to give up on that NVMe. And it's faster than a TB3 eGPU.
Alternatively, use paid streaming services for games in the best quality up to 4K @ 60fps such as GeForceNOW !, Google Stadia, PlayKey, Drova without additional costs for an external video card
@@pavelstogov3445 that maybe a limitation for some people as game streaming relies heavily on you have good internet. In the long run an egpu will probably be a bit cheaper (depending on the card)
@@pavelstogov3445 Lol you definitely don't get the best quality when you stream a game. You 1000% get better quality if you have the game downloaded on your hard drive.
@@garrisonpulley1527 Where such confidence? To use the stream service, you need a good Internet (65 MB / s), as well as a physically close game stream SERVER at the player’s location, to reduce pings and minimal input lags
Great review as always with no compromises, FEROZ Ahmad
Glad you liked it

We hope next their lap came with core i3😍
Anytime I see one of those Mini PC I think Hackintosh but they are always lacking something or are too damn expensive.
Which key to enter the bios on startup?
NUC I am getting for 319$. The current price showing as US$439.99 felt costly. Can u suggest a nuc for gaming My requirement is to have something around 600$ to 700$ with I7 processor and 32 GB ram with 8 GB Graphics card.
Hi Chris, It's great that you are into Mini PC area as well.
Could you please review products like Udoo Bolt (V3 / V8) and LattePanda (800S / 864S).
Cheers!
I have been for like 5 years. I'll try to check them out
I Chris! hope your well.. i would like that you could review a more cheaper miniPC - one just 4 mediaplayer and media sharing with 4k60..
Is there one with N4100 processor or so? you recommend some?
Seen some cheap ones, but are with N3100 which not sure if they do 4k60..
thks
I've reviewed many of the cheaper N4100 mini pc's but I'm done with them now
@@Techtablets sure! :D but there a minipc with those that you recommend?
btw: unrelated topic:
do you know if there android tablet outthere > 10.1 inch , maybe 13 or 15 inch?
explaining:
tv provider in Portugal give you also access to iptv app to watch their channel, and it handy because you can see recording and go back in time etc.
my wife uses a lot in the kitchen or so.. (where using a 10 inch tablet 4 it).
it would be quite handy if there were a bit bigger ones..
I purchased Chuwi reviewed by Chris a few weeks ago. And I am glad. It works perfectly as media center, maily for Kodi/HBOGo/Netflix and regular PC stuff if necessary
Can change CPU cooler?
How can i order this pc?
Please information.
does it come with Win 10 pro for free?
Bro you need to review Poco F2 Pro
Please review matepad pro its just about 470$ with great specs
Is this good as plex server?
My Intel NUC7i5BNH with an I5 7260u turboboost 1 and 2 cores to 3.4ghz has geekbench 4 scores of 4295 8871 and geekbench 5 scores of 868 and 2167, are you sure your I3 is not throttling?
No tehrmal throttling is triggers. There is some power limiting due to 15W/25W PL1 and 2 as pointed out.
Nice video.
How can you check that USB-C is video output capable? I'm asking because Chinese usually don't tell this and I heard that every USB-C can output video.
I plugged in a type-C to HDMI 2 cable, it worked and show you the screen shot of it running 4k 60hz
UPDATE: So far after checking all of your 2020 Mini PC reviews it would get more expensive to get a different one. Sometimes it feels like that a laptop seems to be cheaper than these Mini PC
a better one but in the end gets expensive ... if they simply had add the connector an cable that is not expensive but makes the system fast.
You are right that for that size a mechanical 2,5" hdd would be the best. If I buy it now then in late summer they will come with these cables and connectors for just 10$ more ...
What other mini PC would you see in that price range cause I can get a Xeon Dell server in a bit better config for less than 275€ cause here I would need to add more ram and 512 gb storage?
I would get 3 monitor connections but I would need 1 or 2, so it feels wrong ...
Is there an amd based mini pc ?
It depends on what you're after yes
Not related but can you get your hands on some TCL phones and review?
I would love to but no contact, they never answer my emails.
@@Techtablets Thanks for the heads up they are making some cracking phones at the moment and I think they will be big soon. It's a pity but try LinkedIn. You might get something back from them.
4K60fps TH-cam video playing performance?
I can only imagine you grinning a lot for finally a device being not GEMINI LAKE :'DDD
Haha
Lets see the task manager performance section while running 3 monitors whilst performing many everyday work/play functions. Outlook, 10-15 tabs in chrome or firefox, 5 adobe pro pdf files (high graphic and min 50 page) all while playing x265 video please. i thought so. much better new AMD options out there now for cheaper.
Of course it only has 2 cores, 4 threads what do you expect? Yes yes AMD would be better etc, I would love to review an AMD PC and will have some soon in the channel. But this is what I'm reviewing in this video.
A bit pricey considering it's got slow memory and weak wireless. One would want to upgrade the memory and wireless right away.. placing this in another price bracket.
I wonder if this would make a nice Plex server? With the clock speed it should have enough power, and it'd need some external storage
Don't see why not
I've got a BMAX and three spare monitors and I was wondering if I could connect the three monitors
You can check how many hdmi plugs there are
Can i connect webcam here? like logic tech c920
of course
IMPORTANT INFO: this Mini PC had been shipped with a WINDOWS 10 Pro licence which is far more expensive than the usual Windows 10 - if you purchase from a legal source and not the 5€ fake sellers on ebay where you never now when Microsoft will decide to shut your machine down, I mean lock down cause using an illegal licence is what such user deserves for sure.
Machine was ordered on may 16th and arrived 30th in Germany delivered by DHL.
Does work great so far ... but they should have spend that beast at least a second HDMI out.
Now I had to use a USB Type C Hub - ON THE FRONT .... cause I had no mini display port cable adapter here.
The price of the BMAX B4 Pro is high, for such an amount you can purchase the AsRock A300 mini-ITX platform ($ 150), Ryzen 3400g ($ 150) the performance will be several times higher
Yes yes Of course AMD would be cheaper better etc but right here I'm reviewing this PC preconfigured with 8GB/256GB NVMe
NVMe SSDs should run Hot contrary to popular opinion that electronics should be cooled in general. Might want to remove that heatsink....
Why it will stop it throttling the SSD heatsink
Nice one
Thanks for watching
Can anyone find this thing for sale???
they should have inlcuded the 4 core version of this i3.
Does it still work and if not how long did it last
Still working as an email and internet basic machine for my kids.
Can you do lite gaming on it
Like Minecraft or old games on it
And how many fps is Minecraft is getting bmax b3 was on fps around 60 fps please help the fastest you can before we order it❤❤❤❤
I got it and it works great
Bru ur fast they just released it from AliExpress
Way to expensive at the price of US $457.59 (as of today 14 May 2020).
Yeah, price went way up. Not worth it anymore
Waiting for this with AMD 4800h CPU
I hoep to review some AMD ones but not that SoC yet. Too early for it to make it's way into a mini PC like this.
TechTablets.com I saw a mini (actually not that small) with a ryzen 3 2400ge (lowwer power variant of the 2400g) that should be quite interesting; I wonder if it's that one your aiming at ☺️
Won't be in these niche mini pcs for another 6 months i"d imagine with all the delays in various supply chains related to technology.
Get me one with a Ryzen 4000 CPU. Intels CPUs are too slow, too inefficient and even too expensive.
Of course that would be so much better but this is what I got and reviewed as a preconfigured Windows 10 mini PC. AMD Mini PC's coming soon. Not Ryzen 4000, but what I can get my hands on.
