Atom Mini Desktop - Have you bought one?

Just bought one of these mini desktops to use with my sitting room tv, here are lots of different models to choose from, but this one is different as you can add an SATA 2.5" SSD as the built in storage is only 32GB being to be able to expand the storage space is great.

Though it did cost me a bit more than an slightly higher spec model at a cheaper price but you are stuck with only 32GB, though you can add an SDHC or MICROSD card but these are no replacment for the speed of an real SSD.

I have an Intel 128GB ssd i bought second-hand that i am going to use to expand the storage and it has an read/write of up to 500mb/s

I am still wating for delivery from Amazon, It should be hear in a day or two.

I am hoping i can install my OS on my 128GB SSD and not on the 32GB internal storage, I will have to wait and see if i can boot from the 128GB SSD, If not sometimes you can boot from the 32GB and then it jumps straight to the OS on the 128GB SSD, I do this on my 20" Tablet in my signature.

2GB of RAM is not enough. At least 4GB is needed.
I have an Intel Atom tablet (ASUS T100), and while I was running Windows 8.1 it was fine, but after upgrading to Windows 10 (clean install), the performance went down.
I'm not even sure why they still make stuff with less than 2GBs of RAM... Heck, even smartphones have more than that these days.

 

I have an Acer Switch Tablet 10.1" running Windows 10 x86 and it runs fine on 2GB of ram, I have had no problems.

Your right it should have more than 2GB or at least allow you to upgrade it.

The 32GB of storage space had me worried, but at least i can install an SSD on the version i have ordered.
