Review: Good idea - but in practice resolution reduces its usefullness - Looked into a portable NUC like machine based on the new Intel form factor. Happened to need a mini projector as well, so went with this barebones system. The projector works great both as a standalone computer with externally connected monitor, or as a standalone projector. But does not work good as a computer projector. Why? The native resolution is too small and lots of things won't fit the native resolution of the projector making the user needing to scroll and pan around windows and documents as well as presentations. I've used the projector mainly for watching movies in dark rooms and used the computer portion by itself for work and browsing. The fan from the projector is not too loud but almost always on. Built in speakers really is just on/off - no real volume adjustment. It uses little power so I brought it camping using an inverter and a portable battery to watch full movies. Uses only small form factor SSD, and laptop memory, so is basically a laptop ultrabook platform architecture. For the after rebate price - you can't beat the value for a projector and computer. In hind sight I'd probably still buy separate devices, Intel NUC and mini LED projector, since although it does work well, its a bit of a hassle to disconnect the computer from external monitor to use as an entertainment projector. I tend not to like to move my computer around but a portable projector is good specifically for portability. I can't see this as a good sales person portable presentation tool since the native resolution is too low, and they won't provide drivers to downscale to this resolution.
Review: Perfect for my HTPC - This little PC is truly amazing! I wanted a decent HTPC, so I picked up one of these. The i3 has enough power to run anything my kids will want it for without a twitch in performance. The 16 GB RAM capacity allows me to mount movies in RAM for flawless playing. The projector works well, and far better than I expected. For this price, I expected a weak bulb, difficult focus, and poor resolution. For videos, you get a good picture at any range, easy manual focus, and good light range (it works in dim and darker). The internal speakers are useless for movies. I only use them when I am doing something with this as a computer. The single mSATA III is plenty for essential files if you are willing to spend a little bit on the SSD. Four USB 3.0 ports mean you can set up a USB 2.0 hub station for many externals, and still have three USB 3 ports for high speed use. A Bluetooth keyboard makes this perfect for my needs. Using the USB, I have added over a TB of external storage, and use a 256 GB SSD. It's not a gaming PC; if you want to run new games on this one, you will be disappointed. The only complaint (other than the speakers) that I have is the inaccessible construction where the projector connects. A SATA port would be very nice to have, allowing a SSD + HDD. In the i3 BRIX without the projector, there is a spot for a 2.5" where the projector mounts, but I was unable to check. All-in-all, this is an excellent computer, and it can be set up to meet any sub-gamer needs.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ i think its good product, because its very small
*by P***N on May 8, 2016*

i think its good product,because its very small,smaller than laptop and also smaller than tablet,so i can bring it to anywhere,even i can put it on my pocket,its good for htcp,u no need project,project inside,Pros: good heat dissipation, low noise, high brightness at night, the color is very bright. Disadvantages: low resolution, in addition to watching videos, you almost can not use it to work, because a lot of software is not compatible with the resolution, Bluetooth is unstable, often unable to connect Bluetooth mouse, I tried several times to install the driver, the problem still exists.
