KINGDEL Mini Desktop Computer, Fanless Mini PC with core i5 CPU, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, HD Port, VGA, 4xUSB 3.0, Metal Case, Silent Working, Wi-Fi, Win 11 Pro

I'm glad I bought this. It's sturdy and well made. Everything worked well out of the box. Except, of course, it's pre-loaded with Windows 10, which is always problematic. In this case, it Windows 10 booted to a black screen until I connected the monitor to the VGA connection instead of the HDMI connection. If I hadn't tried the VGA connection, I probably would have sent the unit back as defective. So, live and learn. I installed Linux Mint on the 256gb internal SSD in a dual boot configuration beside the Windows 10 OS that it came with. If you're going to do this (and I highly recommend it!) then, be advised that Windows 10 doesn't shut down when you shut it down. Instead it goes into "Hibernation" and locks it's partition and/or drive. So the Linux installation can't proceed properly until you go into Windows and disable the hibernation 'feature'. You do this by opening up a Windows command prompt in Administrator mode and typing in the "powercfg -h off" command. I hope I remembered the command syntax correctly, if you get an error, just google it. So, anyway, it's perfectly compatible with Linux Mate 18.3. And likely most other Linux distros as well. Bottom line = powerful, little, well made, mini desktop computer! I'd recommend it.

this is an update to my 2nd Mini PC. This was the easiest PC I've ever bought unboxed setup on desk plugged in the cables power on answer a couple questions and I'm up and running. I added a WD 4tb USB drive and I'm good to go. Everything I've hit it with runs fine. From Microsoft office to auto cad to graphic programs. All my CNC and laser programs run prefect and the PC handles controlling all my equipment. You can't go wrong with this Mini PC.To be real honest I'm use to the big motherboard PC but when my last one died I decided to take this mini unit out. I was concern if this was going to be strong enough and would run all my programs but being a 64 bit unit I decided to give it a try. After receiving the unit I really got concern when I saw no manual with it. I plug it in hooked up the monitor HDMI added some of my usb keyboard and mouse and the unit was up and running. Flo less everything worked great has good speed and all my programs run great. Autocad and high end graphic programs run great plenty of memory space and I did hook up a usb 500 gb hard drive. and I'm using it to write this review. pay it you can't go wrong.

Unfortunately, I had a defective motherboard while under warranty. After hours trouble shooting the unit at the direction of the Kingdel rep, including taking out cleaning and reseating the SSD & RAM still inoperative.Kingdel Rep's request was I buy a competitors SSD and install it to see if it would fix the issue. After I pointed out the the Operating System was on the SSD and buying a new SSD would not have the Windows 10 Pro on it that I purchased they requested I buy a competitors RAM install it and see if that resolved the problem, and if not return the RAM to that competitor (as used). I declined.Eventually, I purchased an identical unit and installed my old SSD & RAM which resolved the issue, i.e. the motherboard had failed.I sent the failed chassis and new SSD & RAM to Kingdel in China with the promise of a refund however it has now been more than three weeks and no refund. Computer worked well. Warranty is worthless as it is a least a month turnaround time. Grrrrr

I had one of these kingdels about five years ago when it suddenly went dead. After a week of trying various attempts to revive it I bought a lower spec model, and reused my 16GB memory card and .5 gig sshd. in place of the 8gig and .25Gb SSHD. I checked that the techologies on the chips and the SSHD were compatible , so the thing fired up without a problem.Amazon delivery was terrific. I ordered the device on a Friday evening and the box was delivered on Sunday morning. The packaging was compact and well thought out. Customer support is unnecessary, since it comes ready to roll with a copy of windows 10.

This is the second Kingdel fanless computer that I have purchased. I have found these computers to be reliable, I have had this particular computer since 2018 and it is still performing reliably today. I like that it is fanless, making it quiet, even while still remaining cool with the SSD.

This recent purchase (12/18/22) is my third identical model Kingdel computer I bought two in 2019 and now this most recent one. The only difference is this newest model comes with Windows 11 Pro. My wife and I use all three at home, they run all day and we've had zero issues and have never had to call tech support for help. These fanless computers make no noise at all and they are very fast. The 16GB of ram sure helps with fast multi-window browsing and video playback as well as connection to both our company's networks. The bottom line is these are great little computers that do everything our old desktops did at half the price and with complete reliability. Highly recommend

Started up great, but after 2 or 3 weeks it wouldn't recognize the start-up drive. Sent back. Was really hopeful that this would work because it had great specs, but I guess it was too good to be true.

Probably a good desktop PC. I used mine as a media server attached to NAS for storage, and after 2yrs of usage it just died today... Good product, doesnt last long...
