The YxK S15 ultra Mini PC is a nice little computer that impressed me with what it packs into this small package for a tiny, tiny price. I mean, the parts alone should cost more than the asking price of this machine. The N100 CPU won't be blowing away benchmarks, but it is plenty of power to run Windows for browsing the web, watching web videos, and running office applications. Basically, it can handle 80 percent of my needs (outside of playing video games). Homework should be no problem on this machine for any kid but a computer programmer may find that, depending on the type of program they're writing, compiling can tax the machine a bit. Impressively, this machine is filled to the brim with USB ports. Looking at the colors, you can see from the pictures that there are three usb 2.0 (good for keyboard/mouse and usb speakers) and two USB 3.1 ports, one in front and one in back. These are good for USB storage if the included 512GB isn't enough. With one HDMI and one Displayport, dual monitor is possible on this machine, unfortunately, I don't have an additional DP to HDMI port dongle so I couldn't test the DP port on my second monitor. Additionally, there is one USB-C port that I was surprised has Alt-Mode DP support, which means that you can run a USB monitor through it. I tested this port with my Rokid AR Glasses and can confirm that video output works on this machine. I was a bit worried at first because Windows showed the activation watermark when I first booted it but that disappeared once Windows connected to the Internet and I went through the welcome setup, which did take longer than I expected... and quite annoying because Microsoft wants to install a bunch of fluff... I mean, why do I need to wade through a bunch of spam just to get the machine set up? What I like is that Yxk did not install any additional bloat to the operating system. All the bloat came from Microsoft so it took me about 15 minutes to remove all the bloat but once done, I was finally able to use the machine. Overall, the experience with it has been great.

This is a great little mini PC that takes up almost no space on my already crowded desk. Windows 11 pre-installed means simple, quick setup—of course, Windows always has a lot of updates. Just be patient. USB connections for keyboard/mouse combo and HDMI for the monitor. Connected USB speakers to another port and good to go. This PC is perfect for light browsing, documents, and watching video. The installed 12GB RAM and 512GB SSD mean you’re all set for multiple apps and browser windows without bogging down. Steam runs perfectly, and older games such as Rage ran great. Newer titles like Doom Eternal and Wolfenstein were playable but slow. Others like Minecraft, etc. run fine. Three HDMI ports, three USB ports, audio out, and two ethernet ports (didn’t try them as I was on my wifi). The updated Intel N100 processor has come a long way since it was introduced a decade ago—very quick boot-up and overall zippy performance. All in all, this tiny PC is a great addition to anybody’s office space and will get you through some casual browsing as well. The picture shows the PC next to an iPhone 12 so you can get an idea of how big it is.

The YXK Mini PC with 12th Gen Alder Lake-N100 excels in performance, offering smooth multitasking, 4K video playback, and triple screen support. Its expandable storage, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and versatile ports enhance usability. The fanless design ensures quiet, reliable operation, ideal for office and home use, delivering a premium experience in a compact form. Highly recommended.

Completely dead after a few months of use. Worse yet, the SSD is using some non-standard plug so can't even try and recover what was on it. Even while it was running it had a major issue: The bios doesn't have a setting to turn back on after a power-outage so anyone planning on running these 24/7 look elsewhere.

If you are in the market for a miniPC, something sleek and tiny that fits on your desk or really anywhere you want to use it and is going to look professional, THIS IS IT! DON"T WAIT on this little guy. Why? This is the ONLY N100-Based MiniPC on the market that has ALL THE PORTS AT THE BACK!! No silly square with monitors on one side, USB on the other, power on a third. Just plug into the back, tidy up the cables and TADA!; A sleek and professional look for any business user. This is NOT going to be good for anything 3D game wise, but for 4K video playback and for h264/265 encoding it is a nice little workstation/server. COMES WITH WINDOWS 11 PROFESSIONAL! THIS IS GREAT! It means you can press "Shift + F10" When asked to sign into a Microsoft account and then in the command prompt windows that appears enter "oobe\bypassnro" (exactly as written, but no quotes) and make a local account, get set up and not need to have internet to do it! Probably the only complain I have is that while the BIOS has literally EVERYTHING unlocked and modifiable, there is no power loss recovery settings that I could find. Not a deal breaker for me, but with how everything else was there, would have been nice to have. Mine is pulling duty running Linux and controlling 2 Klipper printers and 4 webcams. It encodes the camera feeds in h264 using the Intel UHD Graphics. all that at around 12W of power! (Tested with Kill-o-Watt Meter) Windows 11 will run around 12-15W fully loaded. Linux (Ubuntu) will run around 10-12W idle and near 17-20W under load. The two operating systems run the speed adjustments differently and produce different results, but both should be max around a 20W power ceiling. Unit comes with a 35W (12V@3A) power supply so all Good. Max temp in a 20C-21C(68-70ish) ambient was around 75C, hovering around 68C primarily. Don;t wait, as there is no telling when this model will no longer be available. This did used to be a sale for a memory card before( tho YXK does sell sdcards, so....eh) I got a great deal on the 512MB unit with an extra $10 off coupon that basically covered the taxes so win! Can't recommend this unit enough if you are in the market for a N100 MiniPC! Practically Perfect in Every Way!
