5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent machine for Office Productivity and Linux Gaming
Purchased in April 2024. Dual booting Windows 11 for work and Bazzite Linux for personal usage and gaming. Powers dual monitors easily.Windows 11 runs very well with MS Office 365 Desktop (Outlook, Word, Teams, and Excel) all running at the same time, and Zoom Meetings, SumatraPDF viewer with 7-10 PDFs open, and multiple Edge windows with 20-30 tabs. Let me tell you this computer is fast, and handles everything I just mentioned with ease and all of my applications are snappy.Also dual booting Bazzite Linux, and have tested Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk, Still Wakes the Deep, Trepang 2 and a few others, all which run very well ~40-60fps at 1080p. While it is not a $2000 gaming machine and I wouldn't expect it to be, it is a nifty little box that games surprisingly well. I guestimate it would get several hundred fps in games like CS, LoL, Apex, OW.Observations:Build quality is excellent. 10/10Wi-Fi connectivity was not great, but there are also two concrete walls between the MiniPC and the router. Probably not the fault of the actual module, and ended up running a Cat6.I re-installed Windows from day one (after copying the Windows key) and did not run an anti-virus scan on the default install. IMHO, you should not trust any OEM manufacture's default Windows installation... not HP, Dell, Toshiba, Asus, nor any Chinese brand. Drivers were available from the Reatan website.My Alloy 9 is whisper quiet on the default power mode. The chassis does get hot to the touch, but has not noticeably thermal throttled even during summer months with 90F ambient temp.The UEFI GUI is difficult to navigate and find settings. I would much prefer an ugly ol' traditional BIOS menu.
5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful & Quiet. Excellent customer service
Using this Alloy 9 for mini-home server, photo/video editing and light gaming with an Ububtu duel bootPros:-Build quality is very nice, the device has a nice weight to it and feels very premium.-Under load, the machine temps have not spiked to anywhere near worrisome, have yet to experience any throttling.-Windows install was painless, allowing my to setup offline without requiring a login to MS account.-Wifi & Etherneet speeds are great-Handles itself very well for light gaming, Rocket Leage at medium settings ran at 100-120fps. This is not the primary purpose for this machine but it's good to have the option for some older games to run at high frames with High settings. Have also test some emulation which also works very well.-Once all the appropriate AMD drivers are installed, this runs Ubuntu flawlessly. Awesome duel boot machine.-Customer support team was incredibly kind and responsive when I submitted an inquiry. I in fact made a mistake in my original question that they pointed out and Reatan proceeded to assist me regardless. I honestly think they care about their users/customers.Cons/Suggestions:-USB-C Ports really are only on the front, would have like one on the back for desk cleanliness. Really is not a dealbreaker as it still manages to get 4 USB-A ports in the back with 2 HDMI ports.-A card reader would be nice on this device, portability of a machine like this would couple nicely with photo/video editingOverall this was my first Mini-PC purchase and I am very pleased with both the Alloy 9 and Reatan themselves. There are plenty of new names in the market selling Mini-PC's and I am glad that A. This device is not a piece of junk and is actually a high performing machine and B. Knowing there are real people at Reatan who are willing to work with their customers. very much looking forward to seeing what Reatan has in store for the future!
5.0 out of 5 stars First impressions are great.
For a super tiny computer, this thing rocks. Right out of the box, it's smaller than you expect it to be. For only 700 bucks it is a fantastic bargain. It booted up right out of the box and started updating windows. As soon as it was done updating, I ran a speed test on the internet connection. 600 mb down and 500 up on wireless. Not sure why others said it had a slow wireless connection.The onlynissue I encountered at all was when I added a second nvme drive for storage. For some reason it would reboot I stead of shutting down. The fix for that was to boot into the BIOS. Once I did that one time, it would shut down and reboot normally. It was a blank nvme, so no boot sector. That was odd but easily fixed.Other than that, I am thoroughly impressed so far.Because it is so small, I can move my guitar amp on top of the table instead of under the table.So far, would recommend after the first 8 hours of ownership.
4.0 out of 5 stars HDMI ports can be flakey
I bought my first one of these (1TB SSD / 32GB DDR5 5600) the 1st week of July, 2024. Both HDMI out ports were flaky. If you slightly moved that mini-PC, even just plugging in a flash drive, the HDMI signal would stop, both ports. Then it could be brought back to life by jiggling it around a bit. I got tired of that fast. Returned it for a refund then re-bought the same. The new unit works Great so far...been using it as my daily driver about 5 weeks now. I like it! - 4 and not 5 stars due only to the first unit was defective.
