BOSGAME Mini PC B95 Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake N95, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

You can't go wrong with this product for its price range. Excellent quad core performance! Can be used as DVR, home server, business PC, HTPC. Totally stable too, running it 24/7 without a hitch. Comes with Windows 11 pre-installed without any bloatware. The only bad side is the SATA cable is a bit too vulnerable, if you wish to upgrade storage, stick with M.2. I couldn't find BIOS/UEFI updates and drivers as the manufacturer website doesn't work and they won't reply to emails.

I bought two of these N95 computers to function as VPN WiFi access points. They both work great and the power consumption is then 2.5W, lower than a dedicated access point. On top of that they are quite fast for other functions and very usable for day-to-day computing. As it has Win11 Pro, it can also be accessed with the Remote Desktop Server, so it is even not necessary to connect a display or keyboard. If connected to a display, both the HDMI as well as the full function USB-C are working correctly.

I'm going to use this mini PC as a pfSense Plus firewall appliance after replacing the Wi-Fi card with a M.2 A+E key Ethernet card for a 2nd Ethernet port (WAN/LAN ports). I can confirm that pfSense CE installs and boots on this hardware, and it should also be capable of booting pfSense from a thumb drive. I purchased this mini PC at an excellent price point (one hundred and twenty) so I don't feel bad over adding an extra Ethernet port (eighteen bucks). pfSense should be compatible with a M.2 NIC since it works with the M.2 Wi-Fi card. When all is said and done, this should be a fantastic mini firewall appliance.

I was afraid the processor would be a bottleneck with my 1440p widescreen monitor, but it can output 85hz without any stutters. Video playback, having 20 chrometabs open, game streaming have all been good. I appreciate the type-c port as well, providing some future proofness. I had to contact support through amazon to get drivers when I reinstalled windows though. They were very helpful and responsive, but I wish they just had a website I could have downloaded them from! Definitely not a gaming PC though. I'm thinking about getting my in-laws one with a nice monitor to save deskspace and have a large viewing area.

UPDATE. They have changed this listing to another device. So reviews older than mine are from a previous device! So be warned. The device I ordered on this particular link was; "BOSGAME Mini PC Intel 12th N95 4C/4T (up to 3.40Ghz), 8GB DDR4+256GB M.2 NVMe SSD PCIe 4, Mini Desktop Computer Windows 11 Pro Mini Computers,Support 4K Triple Display/BT 4.2/WiFi AC 8265/4*USB 3.2" Wanted something specifically to run Home Assistant on reliably. Picked one of these up, let windows install, backed it up. Then installed Proxmox and Home Assistant. Runs wonderfully but in case I wanted to run another VM or container on it, I figured I should max out the ram. Checked with Intel and the maximum amount of ram an N95 CPU can take is 16Gb. So I checked the spec on the current one, and ordered TTZD416G3200HC22-S01 to upgrade it. Installed it and its running perfect. Great device!

I got this mini pc on a special prime promotion. It is a great deal for a capable unit. I want to convert it to Ubuntu Server Pro but I want to save the Windows 11 license. I can't find a way to display or acquire the license for Windows 11 Pro that the machine is using.

Initial 5 star evaluation reduced to 2 after attempts to install a ssd. The provided connection cable had a standard plug for the ssd on one end and a plug for the motherboard unlike anything I had ever seen before, measuring 11mm by 1.6 mm. Despite the minimicro size, it did not readily go into the receptacle plug on the motherboard, which appeared to have a latching back side that was already latched with no obvious way to unlatch. I then went online to look for advice and help. Could find nothing about this particular brand. I viewed videos of several other virtually identical devices, all of which shipped with the SATA cable already attached to the motherboard, so no help there. My continued attempts to unlatch the receptacle resulted in me breaking the motherboard plug. The part that broke was a plastic so thin that it was almost translucent and tended to shatter more like glass than plastic. I think this plug was designed as a 'one and done', anticipating that once it was closed it would never be reopened. I now understand why the competing brands ship with the SATA cable attached and not separate. Added July 15 for clarity: the receptacle plug on the motherboard is what broke; I measured the thichness of the broken piece with an accurate micrometer. It measured .0078 inch; yes, less than 8 thousands of an inch.

Bought this for a friend on a lightning deal. It was a very good buy. And while it isn't a powerhouse it definitely works well for video streaming and general use. I'd buy it again.

While installing windows, even after I enter my username and password, it acted as if I didn't put in a password and wanted me to create a pin. It just hung on create pin forever. Tried many times but nothing worked. Will have to return it. ******resolved**** Had trouble but it was resolved by running windows setup without internet. Its a great little unit and quiet and portable. However, there are no audio inputs to allow the user record but there are interfaces on the market that take care of that. VERY SATISFIED.

Bought this mini pc for the garden shed. It's so small and quiet I often forget its there. Our sheds a multi-purpose space: gym equipment, power tools, fridge-freezer, and an old wall-mounted TV that predates 'smart' being the norm. The issue with our shed was the distance from our router, leaving the WiFi patchy to say the least. I ended up connecting this mini pc through a Powerline Network Adapter and then running a WiFi booster. This pc was bought to be a simple media hub. When I'm running or cycling I like to watch TV. Even with the Powerline providing the connection, whose speed wouldn't be as good as a standard connection straight to the router, the performance remains at a consistent level. I can watch YouTube, Disney+, Netflix, etc, without issue or buffering. It isn't the fastest example of a mini PC, probably being the slowest of the three I own, but as a media hub for when I'm exercising? It's perfectly serviceable.

Lost audio output after three months. It takes several attempts to power on now.

This mini PC became immediately important the second my hand me down smart TV lost all wifi functionality. This has granted me so much more flexibility as a media PC. Not too useful for games but I never bought it for that.

Sent it back same day. Hung up on " create a password" screen. When restarted, it had someone else's name with mine. Clearly, PC had been purchased before and not fixed or wiped of users. Didn't order as a used item, but it obviously was
