Wrong PC. NOT a Micro PC. It's a standard 3060. Died after 1 day. TERRIBLE

By Johnny Midnight on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2025

Ordered a Micro 3060, got a regular 3060, that was pretty badly scuffed up. I don't care about that, but the form factor was what I was looking for. The standard 3060 is not ideal / preferred / useful (almost useless) to me for what I need to do. BUT I'm in a crunch so I had to at least try to use it. Here are the goods and bads of it, most of the bads I don't care.Grading:Subtracted 3 stars for not being the right form factor. THIS was important to meAdded 1 stars for better processor and I'm keeping it.BAD:Wrong form factor (Big deal for me)Onboard NIC is finicky. Obviously damaged. (Kinda big deal)Keyboard and mouse appear to be used. Bad shape. (don't care)240 GB, not 256 GB (Kingston SUV500240G) (don't care)GOOD:Came with Intel Core i5-8500 instead of the Intel Core i3-8100TCame with Windows 10 Pro, not 11 Pro. BUT upgraded to 11 Pro easily (as easy as Windows does Windows things).Not sure I can use it for what I need, but a Windows 11 Pro box for $120, I think I'll keep and find some other use for it. Maybe put Linux on it LOLUPDATE: Forgot to mention it didn't come with Bluetooth or WiFiUPDATE: Died after one day. Don't risk it.

Quit, effective, and takes little space

By homeowner on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2024

This was a certified, reconditioned micro PC. My computer expert son-in-law re-assured me that it was perfectly OK to buy a reconditioned PC, because of the return policy and warranty.It came pre-loaded with Windows 11, which I needed to upgrade to from my old laptop Windows 10.No bulky, noisy, dust-collecting tower to deal with, like in the past. This unit is quiet and compact! Plenty of USB ports, especially if you need to connect to a portable CD drive (not included), or printer (mine lost its Wi-Fi ability decades ago). Mine even came with a keyboard and mouse bonus (USB connected). The micro PC did not come with an internal Wi-Fi, but it did come with a Wi-Fi USB dongle, which works great. I'm not a gamer, so this is perfectly fine for my general computing and internet use. I'm impressed with how carefully this micro-PC was reconditioned and packaged for shipping. It felt like I was buying a brand new one. Setting it up was a breeze, following on-screen prompts.
