so I've done just a few videos on desktops usually I take a look at the big beefy gaming rigs so sure it's great to have a lot of graphics horsepower and a ton of storage however sometimes I like to take a look at something just a little bit smaller so this is a complete mini PC or at least it says that on the box this is an Intel nut this is about the cheapest version of the nut that you can buy just ready to go as a box however there are different models that are even cheaper if you don't mind supplying your own Drive and windows or if you need more power you can also get these things with cry threes in quiet 5 so inside the box we get the nook itself so these are really helpful little computers so as you can see it is actually really tiny and it really does fit in the palm of your hand so the idea here is that this is really meant for more basic tasks such as Excel or web browsing I'm curious what we can actually do it it also comes with a base amount so because this is so small in theory you could just pop this right onto the back of a monitor we also have a pretty small power adapter so all inside that we have all the different international adapters depending on what country you're from and that's retention for the actual embossing take a look around the Nook and you'll see it's a pretty cool little piece of text so first we have a pair of USB 3 ports one of which will charge your devices even when the nuts off and on back you have two more USB ports we have optical flash 3.5 audio out a VGA port Gigabit Ethernet as well as HDMI and what's cool about this is that's actually HDMI 2.0 which means that this time we'll PC can do 4k 60 Hertz output so what's nice about the milk is that it really is just so portable so inside my bag here I have everything I need for a full desktop setup so I have a wireless keyboard with a trackpad as well as all the stuff I need to actually get the Nook up and running which includes the tiny power adapter and the Nook itself inside the milk is rocking an intel celeron j34 55 quad core processor 2 gigabytes of memory and 30 cube gigs of storage now that might not sound like a lot Cobra Melanie can you upgrade to those core i3 and i-5 models if you do be more horse power but on top of that you can easily upgrade this guy with additional land and storage so the Nook is meant to be fairly easy to open so if you get a bare-bones version you actually have to open it up put things in like memory and a hard drive but even this one even though it is premature a to go out of the box does have some upgrade option so if you take the four screws on the bottom out we have access to the two and a half inch drive bay below that not only can we get at the Wi-Fi card which this already has installed but also the memory so this nut has two gigs of RAM pre-installed however it's easy enough to just pop this out and upgrade it with four or even a gigabytes no problem so since this guy only has three gigs of storage built in it's easy enough to just throw in an SSD or by just any kind of regular hard drive so all you do is line it up and should click right in the place but simple as that we have upgrade or not with a full SSD and now all we have to do is just screw the top handle back on and we're up and running so well then this might not be the most powerful PC in the world and actually can handle some light gaming such as minecraft so we're out doing around 40 to 50 frames per second here no no we're not ready to play crysis on ultimate setting however as long as you keep in mind this is a $200 mini PC then actually can handle some light gaming now on top of that you can actually upgrade the performance a little bit by adding an additional gem of RAM it might not make a huge difference but by running this thing a dual-channel you should get a little bit more performance out of it something else you can do with some milk is game stream so it has dual band AC Wi-Fi which means that even if you don't have a connected via ethernet it should be fairly easy to stream other devices in your house such as an Xbox one Oh Cooper whatever what oh yeah the ports of might not be the most demanding game as far as latency goes what's actually not bad here so while I'm straining I'm very high setting it's not quite as crisp as I was playing on an actual Xbox one but the thing is this could be anywhere my house so even though I for example I have the Xbox behind me this could be in another room all together and then that could be a sort of separate gaming setup it works pretty well the Nook is a pretty cool little PC so what do you want something that's for sincere use you want something that's a little bit portable or you don't need a giant desktop to be able to do basic stuff like web browsing the nut might be worth a look so what do you guys think definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
