To do what I did is going to take about 4 hours. I went to an already existing Linux Mint system and created a USB Bootable Linux Mint 19.1 drive with a 4GB usb drive and a downloaded ISO [use USB image writer in menu]. I made a Windows 10 recovery USB by inserting a 32GB USB drive and going to the Start Menu and typing in "create a recovery drive" followed the prompts and about 3+ hours later it finished the drive, safely removed it. Used Magic Jellybean to get the Windows 10 Pro code, and sneaker netted it to a USB as a text file . I shut down the Kodlix, unplugged the power cable, removed the 2 screws from the bottom and inserted a 500 GB hard drive, inserted the 4GB LM19.1 drive and plugged the power back in and booted the Kodlix. I pressed the "delete" key a few times at boot to get to the BIOS I changed the boot order to see the 2 EUFI partitions on the Linux Mint disk first. Let it boot to the LM desktop off the USB followed the instructions off the LM install to allow dual boot, it showed the 500 GB as a primary drive, I changed by sliding the Linux Mint partition proposal to allow 100 GB for windows and 400 for Linux Mint. Let the install with updates run and until completed [about 10 Minutes], rebooted and now I have a LM 19.1 / Win 10 dual boot. Normally I would wipe Win 10 but it was only occupying a 64GB eMMC card on the motherboard so who cares. Seems to work fine in Linux Mint, boots fast, this is going to be a replacement Plex server so it i will be on all the time in a server rack I have here. I will update this with any further useful information if needed.

Wow! This zippy little machine is exactly what I needed for the shop. It comes with Windows 10 Pro and a built-in mic, so voice commands are real easy. Running browser, cloud and documents or spreadsheets are all a breeze. Netflix, Youtube, Hulu are all not a problem even at 4K. This model also has the option to go dual monitor (HDMI and VGA), so as far as a production pc, this is all that you would need for the office. 5/5 would buy another.

I bought this little computer with the intention of trying out Linux distros. When it arrived I observed that it had good build quality and was well designed with ample USB ports. Booting Linux live USB sticks was easy and they were faster than my expectations. I installed MX Linux. Surprisingly, the miniPC outperformed my desktop Windows 10 machine. The XFCE desktop environment was not too my complete liking and I installed the Cinnamon DE on top of it. It still outperformed, or at least matched, the Windows machine. Linux distros aside, I believe that whats making this machine great is the Intel N4100 processor. It gives the miniPC all the power of a full size desktop computer. While I am very pleased with this KODLIX product, and recommend it, I suggest that shoppers evaluate the processor of any brand before buying.

Pretty neat little computer (GN41) with a nice expansion bay for another SSD and the ability to dual boot. Overall Id say Im pretty please with the performance and responsiveness. I really didnt want a computer with a fan, so fan-less was a key feature for me. The Kodlix website has instructions on setting up dual boot, something I havent dont yet but may in the future. If you need to get into the BIOS hit <esc> as it boots. F7 brings up the boot options if youre trying to use a USB device. It is able to stream 4k video, though I didnt stress it with other activities at the same time. For my uses, browsing, MS Office, email, etc. and streaming its good enough. One thing to watch for is the Windows activation. I noticed it wasnt activated after allowing Windows to update and contacted Kodlix for support on their forums. Keep in mind this is a tiny operation based in China, with a 10-12 hours time difference, so youre not going to get an instant response and the back and forth might take a few days. However, they appear eager to please and fixed my issue. Another interesting aspect is that they appear to use something like google translate in their online documentation and emails. You might have to translate the translation a little bit.

I bought this for my work as part of an assembly line for hardware products. The PC is responsible for networking, configuring, and testing the devices. So far the PC has been reliable and runs smoothly for what were asking of it. It seems like a great pick up for the price.

This minipc is really small. It runs smoothly. I have used it to watch 4K videos for 2 weeks without an issue. It is quiet too...I can barely hear the fan. If you are a LOL fan, this minipc really runs it well. I am using a 27inch 4K monitor and attaching the minipc on the back. It is a like an ultra-thin AIO. Really like it! Only one thing… It doesn’t have thunderbolt port…

I am amazed by how small, how light this computer is. It is the size of a kindle book with all powerful features. Windows operating system is easy to set up and use, CPU is enough for everyday use, super fast browsing internet and download files. Overall Im very happy with my purchase and will recommend to anyone who is looking for a portable mini desktop computer.

Install Flash Player The mini PC comes with a HDMI cable and AC adaptor. It feels very light on my palm, and it has 3 USB, SD card reader, HDMI (supports 4K), network port, and audio port, which are pretty close to a full size PC. The Windows 10 OS was loaded in seconds, that’s impressive with 4GB RAM inside. It is a fanless PC, but it is quiet and didn’t seem to be warming up after I ran it for half a day. Overall it is a great choice if you only have limited space for your PC while enjoying a fully functioned Windows 10 machine.
