My use case is a little different from the typical: I wanted to use this as a low-power device to run my cron jobs on so I could put my workstation (and as a side effect, my energy usage) to rest at night—and so far it’s stepped up to the task marvelously.
Overall, power draw was very low, and performance was good enough to run everything I needed to without too much hassle. I had a little bit of a struggle setting it up—the board outright refused to work with my MSI monitor but worked fine with my AOC monitor. The provided extension cable was really short, and it would have been nice to see a longer one, but so far it’s worked out well. It would have also been nice to see a securing feature, such as a lock, for the HDMI male connector, as the connection felt rather loose. But again, I have had no issues with it yet.
Overall I’m very pleased with this computer, and I think many people looking for a good low-power PC will agree. My only concern is that I haven't isolated why one monitor wouldn't work with it.
For anyone want more details:
I was unable to complete Geekbench testing —about halfway through it will ramp the fan up to max (which is off or silent in normal usage), and then turn off. I’m not sure what’s going on since it’s clearly not overheating, but it’s definitely the first time I’ve had an issue like this. However, the CPU-Z benchmark gave me a multi-thread score of around 500–which is very slow compared to modern processors, but again, I had power-saving modes enabled.
The low power usage and low temperatures are impressive. The highest I was able to coerce the chip’s power draw was an average of 5.0W with spikes to 6.0W. During normal operation it settle down to around 3.0-3.5W power draw. During idle operation I saw power draw as low as 2.0 watts (the individual processors, graphics processors, and memory was drawing so little power my program wouldn’t tell me. It was less than 0.1 W each!).
The onboard memory happily underclocked itself to around 1100 MHz, and stayed under 0.5 watts of power draw even during intense operation.
I was able to install and use several intense software development kits on the PC competently. There are many tall tales that have cropped up over the years of a development kit that treats its processor well and with respect—this is certainly not one of them. It sieged the poor, starved, underclocked Celeron (already crippled by power-saving sanctions) with a host of cruel compilers and compressors that sought nothing but to sow chaos among the quad-core package. However, the Celeron handled it well (it even did it faster than the company that I pay for to do this for me, which mildly irked me), and may even become my platform of choice in the future.
My only negative is that I'm not sure this is a great choice for someone who isn't up to some minor debugging if needed.
