Mini PC Core i9 12900H 32GB RAM 1TB SSD 14Cores 20Threads Upto 5.0GHz, Thunderbolt 4 Desktop Gaming Computer with 8K@60Hz Quad Display/2x2.5G LAN/Windows 11 Pro/WiFi 6/BT 5.0/4x USB 3.2

Wow! This mini PC with the i9 is a true gem. The processing power is mind-blowing, and it handles every task I throw at it effortlessly. Whether I'm editing videos, gaming, or doing productivity work, it exceeds my expectations. Plus, the compact design fits perfectly in my workspace.

EDIT:The i9 version of this computer sometimes has a high pitched whine. I contacted the seller and they said the 2 models in the plastic case have fans. I found this computer by doing an Amazon search for "Fanless PC". It is still a great computer, but it does have a fan and it could/does make some noise. I think the fan is fairly quite, but it causes a vibration that makes the noise as I can put some finger pressure on the case and quiet it. And fans being mechanical will eventually wear out or could get dust or other contaminants to clog them up. When I hear the noise it sounds like a dentist's drill. I just wanted to amend my original review so I am not passing false info. I hope the seller amends their Amazon ad to reflect that 2 of the models in the one listing have a fan and 2 don't.end of edit.The Amazon ad for this had 4 choices. 2 were what looked like in a heavy duty metal case with a large heat sink. The other 2 more expensive versions looked like they might be plastic cases. All are fanless.I ordered the heavy metal i7 version AND the top of the line i9. Sure enough the i7 was a GREAT build in a heavy metal case. The i9 was not going to be delivered until the next day.Despite the large heat sink, the i7 ran VERY hot, too hot to touch. Also, it may have been a driver issue, but I could not find the Windows sleep mode and their email tech support is slow with no English website. I was worried that if this ran that hot with the massive heat sink, if the i9 (faster processor) was in a plastic case it might struggle to dissipate the heat.The i9 WAS in a much much lighter plastic case, but it barely runs above room temp. I returned the heavy i7 and ordered a 2nd i9. Both run flawlessly and I thought the price was a good value. There is room inside for a 2.5" SSD and a 2nd m2 SSD.The 2 heavy models have a GREAT build quality and will probably workout fine, but with the heat, I feel the i9 is worth the extra money, I don't have that worry about the heat, and are spec'ed better too.This is one of those deals you are skeptical about until you actually get and use it. When I carried my loaded old tower downstairs, I was sure I made the right purchase.

Fast and easy to set up. A little noisy for the top of the desk. Plenty of connection ports. Good purchase

Do not waste your time or money. There's cheaper versions with better customer support and quality out there. I returned mine.

This mini PC is small enough to fit in any places, while has plenty connections and pwerful CPU to handle mostly of daily jobs, even running games.

I bought this computer in the summer to take to Arizona for the winter. I used it from November - to March, and then we returned to the summer location. When we got ready to return to Arizona this year, it wouldn't even turn on completely dead. That means we didn't even get 6 months of run time out of it. It only has a one-year warranty. If you look online, it tells you that if they lose power, unplug the bios power and plug it back in to reset it. It's quite a job, and my hands are arthritic. I took it to a very reputable place, and they tested it and tried to fix it. (Yes, they did the bios thing.) I used to work in computer repair, and I verified their work. After testing everything, they determined that the motherboard was bad. We determined it would not be in my best interest to fix it. I might as well get a new one because the cost was more than it was worth. So much for reliability, and of course, the warranty was up. If you want to get technical, I have only used it for 5 months; I was generous enough to say six.

One month of use. FAST!!!!!
