Azulle Access Plus Windows 10 Pro Fanless Mini PC Stick, Cherry Trail T3 Z8300, 2GB RAM+32GB

Comment

This is a fantastic stick. This thing only uses between 3 and 4 watts of power, major importance when you are running it off a battery! Just ran some smoke tests on it, one using an Anker PowerCore 26800 portable power supply, and got 30h of portable usage. I got this device as a dedicated telescope computer, that I can control over Wifi and do astrophotography and guidance. This thing fits the bill. Get the 4GB Ram device. Also, you will want to add a microSD card too (go with 128GB) for your data and software installation, as the 32GB internal storage fills up real fast. (Id buy a next gen one with 64 GB internal storage w/ 8 GB ram ;)

Got it yesterday - They sent me the new version Access3 with Windows Pro. This Access3 is NICE,FAST, and its a full real computer! The company Azulle is an American company. Im very happy with my purchase. They also include an extension HDMI cable, for TVs that this device cant reach to plug-in. The Access3 has the Intel® Celeron® Processor N3350 "Apollo Lake N3350" with 2M Cache, up to 2.4 GHz, Intel® HD Graphics 500, Bluetooth 4.0 and Dual Band 2.4Ghz/5Ghz. The Access3 is fast! I can do computer codding easily. I tested streaming video from Amazon and it worked great. I will buy more in the future, great product. I also got the Logitech 400 keyboard, but Azulle has a cool remote called Lynk Multi-functional Remote Control you can buy that has a keyboard and a point at the TV and click or talk commands.

I purchased this with the intention of setting up a small Linux server for home use, as Id worked with some other Atom Silvermont CPUs for compact servers through work. I had a modest outlook for this device, but honestly it exceeded all expectations I had. The only caveat is that several features (the ethernet port and sound on the HDMI output in particular) are problematic unless you upgrade the Linux Kernel to 4.11 or higher, but with that done the device is quite capable as a modest and incredibly compact server for any number of home uses. It works out of the box with 4K monitors, and is even capable of modest gaming in my testing under Linux, which is quite remarkable for such a compact and relatively affordable device.

Wont even boot up, will be returning soon. Very disappointing. Just spinning around on this "just a moment" message for an hour now. Already tried restarting it.

Wonderful product! Turned my older plasma "dumb" TV into a "smart" TV, and much more. Wi-fi connected easily and quickly, with fast throughput. I had a bit of trouble running "Windows Update", and had to dig into the settings to turn on that feature. Be patient, it take a long time to download the update files. Also, remember to use the "Disk Cleanup" tool to remove the Windows update and set up files, which restores substantial disk space. Web browsing was easy and streaming video played without a problem. Text displayed on the screan was sharp and easy to read from 10-15 feet away. I really like this and have recommended it to my friends.

I ordered this to replace a computer in my kitchen. It didnt have to be super powerful or able to stream 4k video. I plugged it in and was up and running in about 15 minutes without issue. I got the 4/32 gig version. This replaces an hp mini with 12 gigs of ram and I havent noticed a difference between the 2. It can get a little warm but this is to be expected in such a small form factor. I have not noticed any impact on performance because of it. This computer IS NOT for those looking to exclusively game or stream 4k content on a regular basis but this is perfect for someone who is looking to add a low cost computer to the livingroom, shop or RV.

I purchased two of these - the first I wanted to try out; upon the completion of my initial evaluation, I bought the second unit for similar purposes: PROS: *Small - about the size of a small-end (like Roku) remote control *Quiet - no noise *Runs cool(er) than other reviews suggest (I was worried about this issue being problematic, as I mainly wanted to use this to stream video from various internet sources. To my pleasant surprise, it has been running 24/7 for days, streaming video from Netflix/Youtube, and is barely warm to the touch!) *Streams video WIRELESSLY without (hardly) any buffering issues or pixelation or lags...Now, I have one unit literally sitting underneath my 2017 generation Netgear wifi router. I only see a momentary jitter or lag, and I mean but less than a half-second, when I press the controls on my wireless keyboard for mute or rewind etc... So I wouldnt really call those lag problems, but when they occur they are predictable and momentary. No big deal IMO. With a hard line network CAT cable, it is about the same...meaning GREAT. Although YMMV depending on your network setup. It is good to know that it performs exceptionally well sans a cable, but at least one could go that route on this particular unit if needed. *Other uses perform well: generally just email reading, printing and basic PC operations...I personally havent tried any gaming, and my experience with multitasking too much shows its limitations (thus several browsers open, windows explorer, office app, and streaming video will over-tax this little unit...) *OTHER observations: Worked SEAMLESSLY with my Acer touchscreen monitor right out of the box; Windows Pro version a plus CONS: No YET, but this is just my initial review two weeks in to my first unit, suffice to say I wouldnt have bought the second if I didnt think this unit wasnt worth it. However, longevity is something to remain evaluated, and I will update my review as required. FOR MY USES it works very well. BOTTOM LINE: I wanted a better unit for my TV, capable of streaming and basic PC stuff over a Roku or Android box - this unit seems to fit the bill and surpass my initial expectations! I am a technology person and this is a genuine review - BE CAREFUL about those fake reviews! If you need this unit for things as I described herein - buy it, cant go wrong for the price/cost benefit comparison.

Ok, This thing is great. If you need a small machine for instrumentation, or to stream internet video to your TV, or for simple web browsing, this is it. I got it to take my weather station off my main PC (6 core machine-- power, heat, and noise) so that I could shut it off when I wasnt otherwise using it. Its silent, low heat, low power consumption. There isnt enough room on the SSD to install a bunch of apps and software, though. I also had to manually do the first Win10 update on it. I dont think there was enough RAM for it to run on Windows Update. Been running it 24/7 for a couple of days now. Stable. Good video, even at 2560x1440. Im thinking of getting another one so that I dont have to stream Amazon video and Netflix through my bluray player.

5 month review. The product worked great as mini computer, but the problem lies in the quality of the build. The mini usb charger becomes loose over time and you lose power if the wires move even a little. Ive resorted to trying to duct tape the plug to try to maintain a good connection, but it didnt work. It seems that the opening is wider than it needs to be so it will shift left or right even when pressed firmly into the socket. Having it disconnect and shut off the computer makes it unusable. Sadly, if it wasnt for this issue, its not a bad computer. It ran the programs fine. I just cant find a work around to keep the power cord plugged in and maintain a proper connection to get power.

Great mini pc stick. Came with Windows 10. Fast installation, Easy to download apps. Added a micro SD card for additional storage and in order to use the storage for installation of any apps and programs. Runs fast. Great for browsing and doing everyday computer tasks e.g. watching movies, youtube videos, reading news etc. While one can purchase the Lynk Remote which adds typing capabilities and mouse functionality, this option would probably not be the fast enough and most efficient for most -- you are probably better off hooking up a full keyboard for that purpose. Nonetheless this is a great on-the-go computer without the weight and space requirement of a usual laptop.
