I bought the NucBox G10 Mini PC for my dad. He mainly uses it for browsing the internet and watching videos. The reason we had to switch machines is because Microsoft is about to stop supporting Windows 10, and his old computer can’t upgrade to Windows 11. Overall, this little PC handles web browsing, video streaming, and even some casual online games really smoothly. For under $200, you get 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, which is more than enough for daily use. The initial setup was super easy too—just one tip: don’t connect it to the internet during the very first setup, otherwise it’ll automatically start updating. I didn’t know that at first and ended up spending over four hours updating the system. Now, a couple of downsides. First, there aren’t enough USB ports. Second, the instructions could be clearer. For example, the pre-installed system already comes with the drivers, so you don’t actually need to download them again from AMD’s website—I only found that out later. If they made that point clear, it would save users a lot of time. That said, none of these are dealbreakers. At this price, the performance is honestly a great value. Customer service is mainly through email, but their responses were quick and friendly, which was a nice surprise. Shipping, on the other hand, took longer than I expected—it’s not as fast as it used to be, and getting stuff from China to the US takes some time. Hopefully, they can stock more units locally in the US so delivery speeds up. I might even get a higher-end version for myself later, mainly for gaming.
