While low cost low power mini PCs with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage are fine as an HTPC, they come short as a desktop platform, and since MINIX NGC-1 has 4GB RAM, and 120 GB storage, I\u2019d expected to be a potential desktop replacement.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019ve done several tests that may struggle in some mini PCs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multi-tasking \u2013 Using Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, and Gimp at the same time<\/li>\n<li>Web Browsing\n<ul>\n<li>Loading multiple tab with CNX Software in Firefox<\/li>\n<li>Playing 1080p YouTube Videos in Firefox, Chrome, and Microsoft Edge browsers<\/li>\n<li>Playing a flash game (Candy Crush Saga) in Microsoft Edge<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Gaming with Asphalt 8<\/li>\n<li>Kodi 16.0 RC3 @ 4K resolution with 1080p &amp; 4K videos using H.265 or H.264 codecs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can watch the full tests in the video below.<br \/>\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AZhXf-jEnKs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nThe main takeaways are that MINIX NGC-1 is perfectly usable as a desktop machine, and multi-tasking between apps did not lead to slow-downs. YouTube videos (VP9) do not play smoothly in Firefox, but are fine in both Chrome and especially Microsoft Edge, so that with great disappointment, as a Firefox user, that I have to recommend the two others browsers on NGC-1. Candy Crush Saga is playable on the machine, but not quite as smooth as one my now mid-range Android smartphone (quad core Cortex A53). Asphalt8 is playable, but I\u2019m not fully satisfied with the frame rate.<\/p>\n<p>I switched the 3840\u00d72160 @ 30 Hz before launching Kodi 16.0, and reboot the machine. H.265 videos could not play with hardware decoding (XVDA2) and all I got was a green screen for all videos. Both 1080p and 2160p H.264 (8-bit) videos up to 30 fps could play smoothly, and were using hardware (XVDA2) video decoding. However, 10-bit H.264 switching to software decoding, and the 4K sample I tried had a lot of artifacts, and was not very smooth.<\/p>\n<p>If you wonder what a 4K desktop may look like, I\u2019ve tiled 4 windows while the resolution was set to 3840\u00d72160.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnx-software.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/NGC-1_4K_Desktop.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31039\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-31039\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnx-software.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/NGC-1_4K_Desktop.jpg\" alt=\"Click for Original Size\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also played Asphalt8 at 4K resolution, and it was not as bad as I would have expected, although it\u2019s not really enjoyable at that resolution (and frame rate).<\/p>\n<p>The main differentiating factor between devices with apparently the same specifications are thermal design, and if it done the wrong way it may negatively affect performance of the machine. I had some worries with my first NGC-1 sample as it would quickly throttle, and even at 220 MHz be very close to TjMAX (the maximum junction temperature), which lead me to write <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnx-software.com\/2016\/02\/04\/how-to-check-cpu-throttling-in-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">How to Check CPU Throttling in Windows 10<\/a>, and since there was no easy solution, the company sent me a new sample, and I sent back the old one to Hong Kong for investigation a few days ago. The good news is that the new sample works very well, and at no time during my testing the processor throttled, even after three hours playing 1080p videos, something that bogged Tronsmart Ara X5 after 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_MINIX_NGC-1_so_expensive\"><\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnx-software.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/MINIX_NGC-1_HWiNFO64_Sensors.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-31048\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31048\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnx-software.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/MINIX_NGC-1_HWiNFO64_Sensors.jpg\" alt=\"MINIX_NGC-1_HWiNFO64_Sensors\" width=\"640\" height=\"576\" \/><\/a>Why is MINIX NGC-1 so expensive?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When MINIX Braswell mini PC was released most people talked about its price: $399.
