BOSGAME B95 Mini PC, Intel 12th Gen N95 (up to 3.4GHz) 16GB RAM 512GB M.2 SSD Small PC, Mini Desktop Computer Support 4K UHD Dual HDMI & Type-C, WiFi 5, BT 5.0

My granddaughter wanted a desktop with a large monitor in her bedroom, but space was limited, so I had to look for something that would be small enough to tuck away somewhere yet give the power expected of a desktop. Enter the BOSGAME B95. Since setting it up for her I have been suitably impressed with it. It is nippy, from switch on through boot up to ready for action is only a few seconds, one of the benefits of the SSD of course, and with 500gb hard drive there is plenty of storage for her games for now. If she needs more storage, there are 2 USB2 ports at the back and 2 USB3 at the front, and I already have 2 1tb external hard drives, and when I tested one on this machine, it accessed it without problem, and at impressive speed. Furthermore, it has 2 HMDI slots, and she has already asked about the possibility of running 2 screens. I might be 70, but she is lucky that at least I know a little about computers so I can sort some things out for her!Being a small box, it has been easy to find a slot to tuck it away so it is not obtrusive. It even comes with a bracket for fixing on to the back of a monitor, though she did not want that, preferring easy access over keeping it out of sight. To make it easier to set it up I downloaded a program onto it so I could sit in my recliner in the living room and log in to her computer to do bits and pieces on it . This has the added bonus of allow me to keep an eye on what she is doing, she is still under 16, and also I can do antivirus and anti malware checks regularly, because I know full well youngsters tend to forget these things.After having used and checked this over, and seen just how easy it is to replace parts or upgrade, I am impressed, and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this for general use or light gaming.

Compact, fast and with a good number of USB connections. Ideal for any home user

Very compact and perfect for what was needed and didn't cost much

For its size, this PC is very powerful; better than that, the memory and SSD are both branded, Crucial and Kingston respectively, so they haven't cut corners on the quality. Coming with TB4 is very useful too, given the upgrade opportunities that allows, but if you're thinking about using Windows 10 Pro on it, rather than Windows 11 it comes pre-installed with, then you're going to have a bit of a game finding the correct drivers for it.Also, it's almost the only mini-PC in its class that can accept two full-size SSD drives, i.e. 2 * M.2 2280, which means you don't have to use the smaller (and hotter running) M.2 2242 style drives.Ventilation is very good, and very quiet, so if you're going to use this PC for something meaty, as I am, then it's good to know that it'll remain cool.I installed Windows 10 Professional, I had to use Dell NIC drivers and an usual brand audio driver (Senary) as the ones on their web-site simply didn't work. This problem isn't unusual for smaller/embedded style PCs so it's something I've come across before.One thing to note, TB4 delivers only a modest level of power when connecting an external display, so anything over 17/18" in terms of portable USB-C monitor will struggle (intermittent drop-outs) if you're using said monitor on the maximum brightness.

Very nice, fast PC! Bought for my parents for browsing and basic tasks and is just the job, they’re very happy with it!

Keeps locking up. When booting up it goes straight to bios page and stays there. Worst thing I have ever bought

I have this PC on my network acting as a small server. It's running SQL Express and a bridge program to mobile barcode scanners. Not had to touch it once since I installed it.

Easy to set up, works very well, very pleased.Small but powerful. Good value for money.
