today we're going to take a look at the azrog desk mini and I mean it's a little one alright welcome to tech city this is brian coming to you guys today with a review of the asrock desk mini one 10w solution now this thing comes in at a very competitive price at one hundred and forty dollars or at least that's what i could find it for and for that price you get the case you get a mini STX motherboard you also get the DC adapter in the wireless module now as i alluded to in the intro this thing is really small it's five by five inches and comparing it against the mini ITX rig is g13 silverstone case there you can just see how much damn smaller it is than something like one of the smallest mini ITX cases you can get is but what I really love about this unit is the ability to customize it the way you want to with me I decided to opt in use a G 4500 which I picked up used for fifty dollars also picked up an aching about kit of laptop memory for ddr4 which came in at $30 and I'll stop right there this thing uses laptop based memory and not desktop based memory which is a good thing in this solution because it uses less power and it also comes in generally cheaper than the desktop memory and for the last piece I put in a 240 gigabyte SSD from Silicon Power which I picked up for $60 after I put it all together which was extremely easy to do I now have myself something little but still powerful enough to do things like streaming uses a home theater PC and even gaming and you're probably thinking gaming how the hell does this thing even game well actually has the HD 520 graphics on that Pentium G 4500 so let's take a look at what this thing can actually do my obsession I just want you in my possession never giving up no fly not letting you out of my side never giving up this time for you soon see that HD 520 graphics on the little Pentium was handling some of those easier to play multiplayer titles perfectly fight at 1080p with a blend of medium to high settings another thing that I love about this unit is you can do differently to what I just did you can put in like a 6700 there and you can also put in some more memory like 16 or even 32 gigabytes of memory and have yourself like a mobile 1080p video editing station and if you're not even putting in effects you probably even step it up to like 4k the one thing I'd love to see on this unit would be the option to overclock the HD graphics I couldn't actually find it there in the bar so it's pretty sure that's the limitation of the H 110 chipset itself we've in the back of this unit you've got two USB ports there besides that you've got the Intel I - one 9v solution which is very solid for something this small above that you've got a comport header and also display an HDMI out and then further up you've got the DC adapter power jack there moving over to the front of the unit you've got the power switch you've also got USB 3.1 type-c and Taipei you've also got a mic in and headphone out jack then moving on to the rear of this unit you've got the option to vaison mounted if you so wish to the overall the case has a lot of ventilation so it shouldn't have any problems with overheating now one extra thing I'd like to see with connectivity is probably the option for two extra USB ports and also an optical in if possible let's talk about what I like and dislike about this unit and really there isn't a lot to dislike except those things that I quickly mentioned before maybe an extra two USB 2 headers there and possibly an optical in besides that the desk Mini is a phenomenal solution for the price installation was an absolute breeze the build quality is very solid the included power brick is pretty big though it will do the job and is very easy to port around considering the overall size of this unit even with the power jack is really small still you can also fit in the desktop CPU fan which is a big plus because you won't have to go out and spend any extra money on a CPU fan and you'll be able to use those desktop CPU solutions you've also got the option on the back there to mount two 2.5 inch drives there up to nine point five millimeters in height so most SSDs and laptop 2.5 inch solutions will fit perfectly fine on this unit and then lastly you've got those two m2 support slots there one which generally is taken up by your Wi-Fi and another if you want to use an m2 SSD solution however if you like Wendell you can even take it a step further and use those to m2 slots into a PCI four-speed connector and have yourself some PCIe connectivity there if you wish to now ultimately I can highly recommend the desk mini especially considering the price and what you can do with it and also if you like this video please give it a big thumbs up and also if you have a deaf mini or if you want one what would you do with it let me know in the comment section below and I'll catch in the next tech video very soon is out for now bye 1080 P perfectly flung perfectly flying of that you've got the DCA jet adapter jack oh like a mini
