Intel Nuc 7 Essential Mini Pc-Boxnuc7Cjysamn with Windows 11 Celeron 4005,4Gb Ddr4 Ram /64Gb Emmc, Black

Pros* Comes with Windows 10 (S mode -- suggest switching to full mode, which is a free upgrade)* Upgradable to Windows 11 (more on it later)* Includes 4 GB ram and a reasonably fast EMMC (64GB), which is enough for light use* Extremely compact and light* No heat at all and no fan noise (even with full load)* Decent coverage with interval WiFi card (though a good external dongle significantly improves 5 GHz performance)* Suggest upgrading RAM to 8 GB, and adding a good SSD (WD Blue/Crucial MX series). With these upgrades, Windows 11 works perfectly fine -- for browsing, YouTube, MS Office etc, and even some light "dev" type tasks (such as running Ubuntu under WSL2). I also use it as a thin client for remote work, and it can handle Skype and Zoom calls without issueCons* Very busy / complex websites at times cause a bit of stutter in the scrolling / rendering.* Not fit for heavy work (such as video editing, heavy coding work with multiple VMs/containers etc)* Don't expect Core i3/i5 level performanceOn the whole good value for money. I am using it as a secondary compact PC (I already have a 7th gen i5 laptop and a m1 mac air), as a thin client for office work, and some lightweight work. Fits the bill perfectly. Can be an excellent machine for online classes / study, and even offices for light work.

Work all well and smooth with Windows,With Linux-Booting issueCan't handle HDD internallyIf attach external HDD then wifi doesn't workSeems like power delivery issue if we install Ubuntu linuxNot tried other linux flavors yet.

Great buy for a Entry Level Windows 11 experience!Specs:Processor: Intel Celeron J4025RAM : 4GB (Slot 1 of 2), eMMC : 64GB, 4 USB 3 ports (One of them is a Power port), 2 HDMI and an Ethernet port.Performance:On Windows 10 in S mode that it comes with - Smooth, after upgrading to full Windows 10 Home - Smooth, but upgrading to Windows 11 slows the performance down considerably. Adding 4 GB to make a total of 8 GB makes it smooth again.Data transfer is slow on the internal eMMC, 16.1 GB available after Windows 11 upgrade (57.1GB total usable of the 64GB eMMC) Update: after 10 to 15 days, clean up the old files to increase free space to 25+ GB!Recommended to buy a SSD (2.5") for additional storage as it can be installed internally without affecting the eMMC.Booting from SSD can give a slight improvement, recommended to buy HDD for storage since the internal eMMC is great!No fan noice under any load condition.

very nice product from intel …

Good

To Ajay's review, I've tried Linux Manjaro (purchased outside). And it works perfectly fine. But after all it is a dual core celeron so you can't go crazy on windows 11 but on Manjaro 2-3 tabs open including 1 1080p video on chrome is doable. It's a tinkering/backup pc thing but just saying Manjaro is perfect on the 128gb ant eSports ssd I added to it
