Good VM Host or Office Mini PC
The primary factor in selecting this Mini PC was price having set a limited budget. I wanted Windows 11 Pro (not Home), a multi core CPU with minimum 32 GB ram and 1TB SSD storage. I did consider the cost of upgrading the ram / storage but in the end selected a model that I was unlikely to need to upgrade. I also limited my selection to manufacturers with drivers available online.The first thing that struck me about the H77 mini PC is how compact it is.The case is well ventilated with fans top and bottom. Access to the user upgradeable memory and single M.2 sata is straightforward but not tool free. The case can also house a single 2.5 inch SSD (not supplied) and an internal sata cable for this is provided.The fan noise varies depending how hard the CPU is working. It isn’t silent but I’ve not found it too distracting nor annoying so far. The case hasn’t ever felt over hot. The separate mains power adapter supplies 20V at up to 6A, and when the CPU is pushed you can certainly feel that in the warm air from the fan exhaust.There were quite a few updates required to the supplied Windows 11 Pro (23H2) when first powered on. I was able to create a local Administrator account (and not link to a Microsoft Account).I wanted a Mini PC for use primarily as a homelab to experiment with virtual machines. VirtualBox 7.1.4 installed without issue and I was able to import and run various Windows and Linux VMs created on earlier versions.The CPU choice wasn’t a major factor for me but I was mildly disappointed to discover that the AMD Ryzen Master application wouldn’t install as the H77 uses a mobile CPU version. I wasn’t previously aware of this restriction, but I don’t think it would have affected my choice.I’ve been impressed by the speed of the H77 generally and particularly with the VMs compared to how they run on my other host PCs. Cad applications that usually hog the CPU haven’t done so on the H77, although I’ve not yet had a chance to really stress test this.The graphic performance was not a factor for me but the benchmarks in this respect were slightly underwhelming.My only previous experience with Windows 11 was using a couple of laptops and that more or less convinced me to stick with Windows 10 for a while longer. However, I have to say I rather like Windows 11 on this Mini PC. I found I could customise things far more to my liking, although there remain a few irritations. The absence of third party bloatware is a plus.So far I’ve only had one issue: The H77 wouldn’t always boot. The solution turned out to be the selection of HDMI cable. I transport the H77 between sites and thus use different screens, cables and keyboards etc. I suspect that newer specification HDMI cables are required even though I’m mostly only using FHD 1080p displays.Overall, I’ve been very pleased with the H77 so far. It has more than met my expectations in terms of performance for my limited budget. Recommended as VM host and for office type applications, but not as a games PC.

Small, quiet and powerful
Worked out of the box - though wouldn't turn on for the first time until I unplugged all external devices, now works just fine. Customer Service team responded within the hour when querying this (by which time I'd resolved it myself).Silent. Fast. Civ VI start up reduced by about 75%. Everything else just runs fast. And it's small so less clutter. Would recommend.

Great little pc. Windows 11 Pro, low power drain, quiet and capable.
I usually have Chrome with 6-8 tabs open, Whatsapp, Reaper (DAW), Zoom and Openshot running and this tiny little machine handles it fine. It runs close to silent and has been flawless so far. I didn't realise that it came with Windows 11 Pro so that was a nice surprise.If your a modern gamer or have some power intensive application in mind then you probably need to look for something many times this price but for everyone else I am very happy to recommend this dimunitive system.

Windows 11 didn’t work with Microsoft onedrive.
My application (Freecad) couldn’t access files I had created and stored on my onedrive folder with my existing Windows 10 system. I have never had a problem accessing the files from various devices in the past but on this device I just kept getting an error 0x8007016a. I really didn’t expect to encounter errors accessing onedrive files from Windows 11 and I don’t want to spend time troubleshooting Microsoft’s problems so this machine is not for me.Update: I spent some time reinstalling onedrive and I eventually got it working. I am happy with the machine as it now does what I wanted it to do. I have increased performance, more memory with the option of adding more if needed and dual monitors and the machine runs quieter and takes up less space. Pity about the initial problems with OneDrive otherwise a great machine.

So far, very impressed
I took the leap to a PC that doesn't look like anything I've ever had before. After a month of use I'm incredibly impressed. All my peripherals connect directly and it runs like a dream. In addition I've so much room on the desk, it's great.

Mini PC is really mini
This is a great product but on this occasion SATA port did not work and SSD was not recognised. I had to return the product and get new one. I hope new one will work.

Started off great & downhill after
Was really looking forward to using this for as it's so tiny but seemed pretty powerful. It started off great, decent value, form was good, lots of connections & surprisingly ok sound. However 4 weeks in almost and the ethernet ports refuse to work & it's unable to hold a WiFi connection making it useless for me now. Really disappointed
