Something a little more useful if your into Intel Boxes:
Handy with the VGA connector for the older monitor but a DP may have been ideal

CNXSoft has started a review(teardown) of this Intel Box
Certainly a packed box of goodies
update
After a bit of a fiddle this little box of trix is performing rather well.
Coupon Code VORKEV1 = $40 off still i believe
How Audible is the fan, In a dead quiet room you can hear the whir of the fan, and it is at a constant, does not appear to get louder when the CPU is under stress
The supplied unit is installed with 4GB Ram and 64GB Msata, and can be upgraded to 8GB ram and with the Msata going to just about any size I believe, also we have room to fit a HDD in the Base as required.
I have a spare SSD kicking some place once found I will install, at the present this will just be the Base unit test.
Typical Windows 10 startup add location name etc a few minutes and into windows no problems found.
Connected to Wifi 5GHZ easy, Bit of a Windows 10 update and away we go.
Basic Information all Ok, fully usable Windows 10 HOME 64bit.
Ethernet Connection very good from this location
CrystalDiskMark speed of Ram and mSATA OK
The Vorke V1 does not claim to be a Games machine so this test were run just to see how it would run under pressure
A Handy Intel Unit, yes it has a fan but not that bad and for the Price and eace of use not to bad at all
I will do some video test etc, Kodi, Plex etc its Kodi is more Intel friendly and most will work some
Fun and games with the 4k stuff but we shall see
If you need a second Desktop for work,or School work Ideal
Update Ram to 8gb mSATA to 500g and install a HDD or SDD up to 1TB so good hand value box.

My Vorke V1 also has arrived. Amazing little computer. It supports 2560x1440 Pixels over HDMI 1.4 what is great.
What is quite interesting though, the Intel Celeron J3160 is supporting up to 2.24 GHz in Turbo Mode (but according to the Intel specification, the CPU does not seem to offer Turbo Mode). Very strange but as long as the little computer can do better than mentioned in the specs, fine with me.
The 4GB RAM is no shabby one either, it is a PC3-12800 (800MHz) one also made in my case by A-Data Technology, same as shown in the previous posts. Vorke seem to pick quality components and this is great to know, too.
And all this for 199 USD including the Windows 10 Home Premium 64 bit OS, that is quite a steal. What also impresses me is the quiet fan. There is a constant wooosh coming from the little box, nothing annoying at all not disturbing (less annoying than a notebook fan), no high pitched speed changes, nothing to worry about, simply a constantly spinning and almost quiet fan, this is much better than expected and also a very pleasant surprise.
Would I recommend the Vorke V1? Yes, absolutely, solid, low noise and good performance, perfect for home office and as a surf station, simply great. This is, by the way, also a great little computer for people on a budget. Add a screen, even an old VGA one, a mouse and a keyboard and off you go. Perfect, also for countries that could not afford high priced hardware e.g. in a class room configuration.
What I also noticed regarding the power supply, mine came with a completely different lyangel AC adapter, model LY036SPS-120300W3, rated at 12V 3A. The power supply does not get hot at all.

Hello !
Do you manage to use the infrared receiver ? I didn't find anything under windows neither linux...
Thanks
Hi!
Has anyone done some Fan Mod on this? the tiny fan can get a bit loud for using it as a quite mediacenter, and for now I just opened the bottom and place the box under a big laptop cooling fan.
I was wondering if anyone already tried to put a 120mm fan on the bottom.

My review Tronsmart ARA x5 PLUS
Here is the release of the New ARA X5 Plus Cherry Trail z8300 2/32 GB
Much the same Spec as previous model with a few improvements
Obvious is the external Wifi Antenna.
Feels a little heaver than previous model more on this later.
At first switch on, Windows 10 location login and pretty quick
A few other settings to be setup, asked for wifi connections done.
A bit of an online update reboot and we are in Windows 10.
So a few more updates and install some apps wifi speed 5g good.
Ara X5 plus seems snappy no lag at present, while doing first scan with Defender,
Windows update while installing other apps performing well for a 2/32 GB unit.
While typing and sorting out images the Unit has done the updated.
Being windows 10 all will be pretty much the same a few torture test later to see any improvements.
Ok let's get inside and have a look see.
So we now have the PCB sandwiched between 2 pieces of alloy block that will be great as you can see by post 1 (forgot to take a new one)
Also an extra block on the underside to the cutout base area of CPU excellent this will keep it thermally maintained.
You can see the Wifi is a plugin module and we have the External and Internal so coverage is improved and good.
Also removal of the tin lid, Heat sink has good direct contact to CPU with thermal Pad
Note sure the rating of the Pink Thermal may alter at a later date if required
We have the new improved Battery ? And also a Reset Button yet to see if it does good or bad.
Look at the OS system.
Previous Model Tronsmart ARA X5 ram Test
Tronsmart ARA X5 PLUS Tests
As you can see by the Stress test, the idle is around the 50c jumps up to 75c and pretty much sits there without complaining to much.
You will also note that Ram Speed is much improved over the previous model
Previous Model had a Bench test of around 570 so a little improvement has to be good.
Current Free space after doing all updates and removing old version etc 1115 as of the 2nd March easy up date.

The AC3/DTS 5.1 pass through dont work on hdmi!!!
On hdmi we can have only 2.0 sound!!
With 10bit, [email protected] there is no way. only software decoding to 1080 works with low bitrate, but now way to get 4K 10bit.
How do you get the micro SD card to stay inserted in the Tronsmart ARA X5 Plus ? It beats me...
and the reson for the new BIOS update ?
I have on of these not so little unit to have a look and a fiddle
HYSTOU FMP04B Fanless Mini PC - I3 4010U (4G+64G)
It does come in other flavors Bigger Cpu etc and you can upgrade ram, mSATA and add your own HDD or SSD.
Device is not supplied with a Licenced Windows.
Once ran up it had a version of win10 that I was not happy with so I dumped it for now and went the Win7 Route for a bit of a fiddle and ease it into a win10 update later
To me it appeared sluggish with the win10 that was on the unit, going to WIn7 things pick up.

The Hystou Fanless is snappy to operate,
Wifi and Ethernet speeds all appear good at present with dloading bits and pieces,
More Ram will be added but as It only has One Memory slot, so out with a 4 and In with and 8GB

Antutu Scores for windows 10
Ethernet Connection
WiFi Connection
Setting WiFi to Perform
Pass mark Rating, this unit does not clame to be a Games Machine, these scores are just for the sake of showing the unit doing something.
Very good test.
I want to know two things:
1 - Wake on LAN is possible with the LAN ethernet card via Bios activation?
2 - the bloc doesn't burn a lot?
Thanks.
The Block is very cool, warm if that
I don't use the wake on lan, I do see many options in Bios for this option to enable disable.
warm if that? what?
there is ZERO NOISE with that Mini pc?
Why there are a lot of RS232 ports? for what kind of use?
Using 2 mSATA cards.
Hi, I'm looking to buy a HYSTOU FMP04B thanks to its 6 RS232 ports.
But I ahr another question. Looking at the pictures you can see that it has 3x PCI-E ports, one used for network cards, one for the 64GB mSATA. Can I use the third slot for an additional mSATA card?
Have a thought in the back of my head that I read somewhere that your computer can handle a mSATA memory cards.
Anyone know if it is possible to run two mSATA card ..
The Onda V820w CH DualOS is an 8-inch, dual boot tablet PC, that runs both Windows 10 (64 bit) and Android 5.1 Lollipop. The “CH” in this model's name denotes a Cherry Trail Atom Z8300, Intel's latest 14nm, low power SoC processor. There are other Onda tablets with similar names, but the majority of them have the older 22nm Intel Bay Trail processors. Most are either single OS Windows 10 models, or have Android 4.4 Kit Kat as their second operating system.

I have been testing this tablet for over a week, and it works incredibly well. The 8” IPS screen touch screen is very responsive, and has a resolution of 1280x800 pixels (WXGA). While 160dpi isn't “retina” level resolution, pictures and text, appear sharp and colorful. I have read some older reviews for Onda V820w variants complaining about the dull screen. The company must have upgraded the original panel, because the unit I received is bright, colorful and looks great off-angle. The capacitive touch screen supports 10 point multi-touch.
Movies can be played in high definition, and the Cherry Trail's 8th generation Intel integrated HD Graphics supports DirectX 11.2 and a second display using MicroHDMI. The GPU is roughly 40% faster than the 7th generation HD Graphics (Bay Trail) and can handle many Windows video games. The GPU also supports 4K/H.265 video acceleration.
The System on Chip (SoC) Intel x5-Z8300 processor is the slowest of the Cherry Trail family, but it ranked towards the top of the 2015 heap, and still provides plenty of power for a tablet. I ran the AnTuTu benchmark app under Android and received a composite score of 59,241.
The tablet's audio capabilities are sufficient for normal, everyday use. The small, mono speaker located on the lower rear of the case will not fill a room with sound, but provides acceptable dynamic range and loudness to watch a short video or understand human speech without sounding strange or tinny. Watching a full-length movie or playing music really requires use of the headphone jack or a Bluetooth audio solution.
The downside of having a DualOS system is the need to divide the 32GB eMMC ROM into multiple partitions. The Android system is left with only 4GB for its OS and apps. The Windows 10 partition winds up with around 21GB of storage. The remaining 7GB of space is taken up with multiple recovery partitions for both OS environments. File storage can be easily augmented by adding a MicroSD card, but this won't help much with Android app space that can be easily overloaded. The Android OS is available for applications that aren't offered in the Windows 10 store, otherwise most users will consider Windows their primary operating system.
Using Windows 10 on the tablet is fairly simple. While using the standard desktop, there is a keyboard icon on the taskbar for typing and data entry. Alternatively, “Tablet Mode” may be selected, which switches to The Windows 10 Tile UI, and the keyboard is automatically popped up as required. One huge benefits of using Windows 10, instead of Android, is the ability to share files and printers with other PC's on a home or office network. Microsoft has left enough networking options in Windows 10 home that anyone should be able to setup a workable and secure network.
The Onda V820w CH DualOS weighs 335g, or just under 12oz. The case is all plastic, with a concentric circle “fingerprint” pattern on the back cover to reduce slippage. There is a flush “Windows” button along the lower edge that serves double duty as the Home Screen button in Android. Along the top right side are the on/off button and volume rocker. The upper left side contains the TF card slot. The top edge has the Micro USB, Micro HDMI and 3.5mm headphone jacks.
The are 1.9MP cameras at the top, front and back. These is no flash LED on either side, and the cameras work best in well lit situations. Unfortunately, there is no provision for using the camera modules to automatically control screen dimming.
The WiFi is provided by a 2.4GHz Broadcom SDIO 802.11bgn chip. The SDIO interface limits maximum speeds to 100 mbps. Bluetooth 4.0 is included as well.
The only other electronic feature is a motion/gravity sensor that allows automatic screen rotation. There is no GPS, or even WiPS/WFPS location functionality. Any applications that require location must settle for manually entered zip codes or addresses.
Overall, the Onda V820w CH DualOS is a great value. It out performs most Chinese MediaTek based Android tablets around the same price point, and offers dual OS versatility.
Gearbest is currently offering the Onda V820w CH DualOS for $82.36 with free shipping

Well to Windows 10 or not that is the question,
Nope Windows 11 it will be win10 Update restart update, not today
Downloaded Win11 ISO
Rufus to a USB STICK
Boot USB wipe M2 all data, Installing ( mistake for drivers)
3 minutes first reboot and Getting ready, Sweet
Further 2 minutes later win have win11 and the setup.
Much the the same as Win10 startup but its Win11 moving forward not sideways (maybe)
Win11 is ok have it on a couple of other devices,
Always some teething problems with MS$,
Further 8 minutes and singed in, told MS no I don't want your stuff as in office, one drive etc etc.
But it will still show up again not sure why they bother to ask.
Further 1 minute or so and Win11 installed and running to easy and activated.
Now to Debloat and get it how I want
Only harp is MS$ moves stuff around and need to do a bit of searching to find.
A few Windows items to update, easy
Windows needs a few drivers and Bits, I guess doing the Upgrade instead of fresh install would have been easier but no guts no glory.
Well messed up a little.
After installing the NEW ISO Win11 and thinking it would find all I was wrong.
Should have backed up the system 32 with the .inf and stuff, it took a bit longer..
But our good friends at Beelink had all the drivers and saved my butt

On to Windows
Installed we have Win11 Pro.
Startup is typical new Computer all the Questions, where are you, and agree with what you will.
Bit of an update, and more questions..
Then another reset and yep you guessed it more questions.
Part of the deal of a new PC and Windows.
The Trigkey Speed 3 should have no issues running Linux either installed or from a USB stick.
Most if not all of thee mini PC's have become pretty good Bang for the buck.
If you need a small footprint PC that can do Most its really no No Brainer.
They can do a job with ease, sure they're not a beast for high end power.
They can do Most media files, all the social games and most hobby orientated things.
If you dont need a HIGH end Desktop PC with sqiudabytes of Ram and Video Card etc this is for you.
Home Office, something for Homework, Media server, Netflix and a like piece of cake really.
Lets have a quick look around.
As the hardware is pretty good, and Windows being Windows it will just work with most things.
As with Linux and good all in one small form factor unit.
Again it depends on the need of the user.
Will have a quick look at what it has and some of the settings.
Nothing set just Booted, what you see it what you get.
On to Windows
So after all the Questions:
What we have:
All Good here:
More Details:
CPU:
GPU:
Next better check and do a bit of an update of the O/S
Few things to Download and updates, should not take that long.
Bit of Info about what's going on with Hardware Info
CrystalDiskMark test.
Graphics we have using GPU-Z
