5.0 out of 5 starsPortable, small and great little computer!
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016
Bought this console to use as a computer with our TV and for my wife to play WOW on while in the living room without needing to have a huge laptop or desktop. Being that you can load Windows on this unit, I was pretty sure there would be no issues with getting WOW to play. When I received the console, I was impressed with its size, very compact, fits right underneath the TV, takes up very little space. With a wireless keyboard and mouse, this is a great little computer. I did try loading up WOW using the Steam OS, but was not impressed with the OS. Instead, I loaded up the newest version of Linux (I do NOT use windows) and loaded up WOW. Took a few tweaks to get WOW working properly (mostly tweaking crossover and ensuring the right packages were downloaded) and now it is set up for playing WOW. Graphics are pretty good, fps is 60, and haven't really had any issues. My wife uses this to surf the internet, to do some schooling, etc. Everything she would do with a laptop or desktop but much easier to use, much smaller and very portable if she wants to move it to another TV. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting something smaller, easy to move and cheaper. By the way, I did price building a desktop for my wife, and found it would be more expensive with the components that I would have added. And the size would have been much larger and not as convenient or easily movable. In addition, if you are not interested in the Steam games (which we were not), then loading another OS would be recommended.
