Pros: NUC sized, decent performance, very low power.
Cons: Limited USB ports, mediocre graphics performance, small size thermal issues may decrease lifespan.
Overall Review: I would say overall performance is satisfactory. However, playing UHD content could be problematic. Fortunately, my monitor is 1080p only. This mini PC is fan-cooled, and it is definitely audible though I don't personally don't find it too irritating. I just retired an 8 yr old Lenovo i7 desktop, and the CPU benchmark for the N5105 is still only about half the score of an i7 4770. Still, it's fine for routine tasks and faster than my 4yr old i5 laptop. I'm also fine with the WIFI 5 and limited ports since I knew about them going in. Would recommend this for undemanding desktop replacement. (added components: G. Skill Ripjaws 2666 DDR4 8GB and MSI Spatium (sp?) 390 M.2 2280 500MB SSD)
