Network Adapter will only do 2.4G and not 5G as advertised.
Would 've given it 5 stars but I don't like false advertising claims. Be aware, if for some reason you want a faster download speed, this will not do it since the network adapter in this stick pc only is 2.4G capable. I'm using this as a 2 purpose remote monitor for an IP CAM and a dedicated 24/7 wake-on-lan device for the remote network. But I wanted a faster transfer speed for the video feed through the remote router which has 2.4G & 5G. I just added an inexpensive 5G dongle which satisfied that need. I might also point out that I can't activate the Win10 OS it came with but that only effects using this free version of Win10 with minor cosmetic restrictions, like can't change the desktop background, not necessary for what I'm using it for. The price was perfect, very economical and works perfect. Easy setup.UPDATE: 18 Months later, no bluetooth, so no way of control without mouse or keyboard, now useless for my purposes. Now taken down from 4 to 2 stars for failing.

Compact, handles well
EDIT: if you ever find that wifi is too slow at a hotel or otherwise, I found that the "virtual adapter" was the culprit. The program attempts to make the mini pc a wifi hotspot, subsequently slows wifi down, but obviously that isn't necessary. You can disable it under Control panel > network and internet > network connections.I personally dislike laptops. I don't understand their appeal, I have been using desktops even before AOL started. To be honest, you can't replace the feeling of a keyboard and mouse. Essentially, I feel like laptops are limited.Now I like to be mobile, I like things compact and useful, however, even if I was to use the smallest Micro ATX case to lug around desktop - its not "reasonable"This mini PC however, fills that role perfectly. Of course, I'm not expecting to be able to run my usual number of background processes or play demanding games. But when I need a mobile workstation with all the capabilities of windows 10, again this pc fits that role. I'd like to add, it's definitely a lot less space than a laptop, a lot lighter, and if I'm not going to be keyboard heavy, I can bring a bluetooth keyboard of the same size.Bluetooth: Works fine, connected a mouse, headphones, keyboard and etc. This really frees up room for the 2 available USB slots for whatever else you might need it for.wifi: At home: It picked up just fine, was able to support 1080p netflix, exactly what I wanted to for Hotel: Also picked up fine, speed test showed 10 mbps, just perfect for browsing, streaming and etc.Ease of use: To be honest, you start it up and you follow the prompts. Just as if you installed windows 10 new at home, you do the same thing here. Handles like a PC (well it is one). It's pretty hard to mess up what plugs go where, there's USB's, a mini USB,an HDMI, common, household plugs everyone uses.Overall: I bring this with me on trips, it works perfectly fine for the intended purpose. It does streaming and web surfing well, its a great all around media device. I even use this in my living room instead of getting a chromecast, its only an extra bit of money. I'm glad I ordered it.

Perfect for Retail Digital Signage
This was purchased specifically to work with an older TV that we just upgraded from. I brought the TV and this computer stick to our store and set it up to face outward from a window into the parking lot. I had created a simple slideshow in Google Drive showcasing various products. This little computer stick is plenty powerful enough to run this continuously for us. Setup of the computer was done in my home environment with no trouble at all. It is running a full Windows 10 Pro edition and works perfectly. I was able to get everything set up at home, test it and then move it to our retail location with ease. In the future we might look to buy another one for a different retail location if this proves to help drive sales. I would have no problem recommending this computer stick to anyone that wants to run simple programs on a television.

I have been searching for a small pc to run some basic application. but most cheaper devices are only with 1gb memory. finally I choose this 2gb ram tiny stick. this stick booted up windoes 10 and set everything up right away . I use it to watch youtube, Netflix and check my bank account. etc.it has 2 usb port allowing for use of a mouse and keyboard. also has the expandable memory card slot. I was really happy to see the hdmi extension cable that is included with this pc stick.great little product!

Smooth system and great display output
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. The system is smooth that I can hardly remember when it crashed, you can watch youtube, open a file and listen to Spotify at the same time, by the way the display output is great, it utilizes my screen to the best and everything is clear and sharp. This is my first mini PC and I'm lucky that I find this product so that I don't need to bother to compare with other products to find the best one, this is indeed the best one.

Mini PC Stick saves space and $$ for small area displays for Museums, etc...
We are setting up several display A/V stations in our air museum. The mini PC Stick plugs directly into a TV HDMI port. Saves a lot of space and cost of a computer.It has two USB ports. We added a 4 USB splitter to accommodate mouse, keyboard, and USB storage.Easy to set up, but have a keyboard and mouse ready at bootup.If we expand the number of display areas, we will order more.Added Libreoffice and Chrome. Default is Windows Edge. Runs both browsers well.

Avoid.
Bluetooth doesn't work. Tried multiple Bluetooth devices. They pair, sometimes connect and then fail. The Bluetooth devices work fine with Android or iOS. WiFi mouse and keyboard work but only within a range of about 3 ft. Super slow. 2gb of RAM isn't enough for Windows 10 to work well.
