A nicely performing silent mini PC

4 out of 5 stars

A nicely performing silent mini PC
Be sure to check out my video review in the video area above!I picked up this fanless Mini PC on the suggestion of a viewer for review. You can see my full review here. It is powered by an Intel N5105 Celeron chip (part of the Jasper Lake family) along with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM in dual channel mode. This model also came with 128GB of eMMC storage as its boot drive.While it’s not possible to upgrade the RAM you can add a M.2 2280 NVME SSD. It also has a microSD card slot on the back. It supports dual 4k 60hz displays and would work well as a Plex server, but I do not recommend Windows PC as home theater devices these days. The Nvidia Shield is still the best choice for media consumption IMHO.A few other value-adds here is its built in Wifi 6 radio which performed quite well in my testing along with a fully licensed copy of Windows 11 Pro. In my testing I also found it to be compatible with the latest version of Ubuntu and other flavors of Linux. Just note that right now Linux based browsers do not seem to decode 4k video from YouTube very efficiently.Performance-wise this is a nice bump from prior Gemini Lake PCs in graphics and CPU performance making this a good choice for old games & emulators along with game streaming. Performance is light years beyond what you might get out of a Raspberry Pi 4 for light server and desktop usage.The only real downside on this one is their decision to not follow the USB-C PD standard for charging and making the USB-C port only for power. You will need to use its included AC adapter to power it. Other Mini PCs at or around this price point have full service USB-C ports that work with docking stations.Other than that I can’t find much to complain about here. This is a nice PC that can do a lot of basic PC and server tasks silently with great performance.

    Little monster that has been perfect for astrophotography needs without staying outside

    Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2023

    Verified Purchase

    Got one of these in conjunction with an NVMe SSD drive for astrophotography use. Rather than using a laptop outside, I simply connect this little box to the telescope mount and to the other accessories while I'm comfortable seated inside of the house commanding the entire setup remotely. With this unit I have a remote and full-fledged Windows 11 workstation with all the software I'm already familiar with, including NINA, PHD2, Stellarium, mount's software (e.g. Celestron CPWI), and camera's (e.g. ZWO ASI Studio, FireCapture, etc). The added SSD drive provides enough bandwidth for planetary video capture through USB 3.0, and the added capacity allows me to have several capture sessions without frequently releasing the space on the drive. Moreover, I've been able to perform video stacking, slower compared to my primary laptop. Of course, I understand I cannot and should not perform intensive processing in this box, but don't underestimate the Celeron processor anyway.

    Speaking of the overall experience I have to tell I'm quite an advanced Windows/PC user, but installing the NVMe SSD drive and flashing Windows 11 over it was a piece of cake. I was ready for my astrophotography sessions is about a day including the installation and setup of all the required software. Thanks to PatriotAstro on YouTube for providing all the recommendations and setup guides!

    Other points:
    – The unit has 4 (regular, not micro) USB ports, which is really convenient and simplifies cable management.
    – This comes with a Windows 11 license, so you don't need to spend extra in the OS.
    – I do remote connection to this using regular Windows RDP software through my own Wi-fi network.
    – Electric consumption depends on the intensity of usage, but was less than 15W on average with some load, and just a few watts while staying Idle.
    – Make sure you remove all the tags from the surface. I know the Windows and Intel Inside tags look good, but I obviously removed them due to the thermal dissipation design. BTW, don't touch the cover: It won't certainly cause a burn on your fingers but you're safer if you don't "tap" it. It's not a dog anyway 🙂

    So far one of the most convenient purchases I've made. It simplifies everything. Are you still thinking on spending about $330 in the Celestron's GPS unit and Wi-fi units? This tiny box is providing much more features for less price.

    Great for Astrophotography

    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2022

    Verified Purchase

    I bought the MeLE Quieter3Q (N5105 processor, 8GB RAM and 128 GB eMMC drive) to control my astrophotography gear: telescope mount, 12v power distribution box/USB hub, DSLR camera and guide camera. I installed N.I.N.A., PHD2, Stellarium, Sharp Cap, several ASCOM drivers and an application to control the power distribution box/USB hub.

    I also installed helpful application like Google, Notepad++ and 7-Zip, but to keep overall performance high, I kept software installations to a minimum.
    And to that end, I did make changes to the stock configuration:

    1. I added a 2 TB NVMe drive
    2. Then I reinstalled Windows 11 Pro to the NVMe drive
    3. Next, I made the NVMe drive the boot device
    4. And finally, I formatted the eMMC drive to use as extra storage

    After slogging through the required Windows updates, the PC boots very quickly from the NVMe drive and worth the added expense of an NVMe drive. But it would have been nice to buy a unit that had an NVMe pre-installed as the Windows boot drive to save me the time and hassle of doing this work myself.

    So far, there have been no issues and all software has worked as expected. I can use RDP or Google Remote Desktop to access the PC remotely over Wi-Fi and control the entire photographic session. This PC is used to control the equipment and software needed to capture images of deep sky objects, but it is not used to process those images into the final product as this requires significantly more CPU and memory horsepower than the Quieter3Q possesses.

    These were my critical criteria when selecting a mini-PC: small form factor, light weight, recent CPU generation, good storage options and the ability to be powered from a 12v power source.
    Relative to my use case, here are my pros and cons…

    Pros:
    – Small footprint (important for telescope mounting)
    – Light Weight (important for telescope balancing)
    – Newer CPU generation
    – Expandable storage via an NVMe drive
    – 12v power supply requirement
    – No moving parts so it’s totally quiet, and more importantly, there are no vibrations transferred to the telescope or cameras
    – Can be mounted to the back of a monitor for a clean desktop, or to a telescope mounting plate

    Cons:
    – No ability to upgrade memory
    – Limited storage configurations direct from MeLE, such as a preinstalled NVMe drive
    – Gets a little warm since there is no fan, but not a big issue for me
    – A little pricey when the cost of an NVMe drive is added, but this is optional

    Overall, I am very happy with the MeLE Quieter3Q and for my astrophotography use case, it fits the bill perfectly.

    Runs hot, but performs well

    Reviewed in Canada on November 20, 2023

    Verified Purchase

    On the initial boot, it was running hot from installing updates and installing applications. Definitely hot to the touch at around 70-80 C. After that, went to bios to underclock it since I didn't need all that performance. Clock to base 1.8 and turbo to 2.4. Now runs at about 55C when it's busy. Still performs well even at the new clocks and uses less power than originally configured out of the box.

    There's M.2 NVMe slot (no sata support) inside if you want more storage or want to switch to that as the primary boot device instead of the built-in 128 emmc storage. No ram upgrade, but 8GB should be adequate for most uses for devices at this specification. Oh, and there's an sdcard slot, so more storage expansion.

    Bester mini PC

    Reviewed in Germany on October 2, 2023

    Verified Purchase

    Ich hab den Mele 3Q N5105 nun über ein halbes Jahr in Betrieb und kann nur gutes berichten.
    Der mini PC fungiert bei mir als Linux Server auf dem neben private Cloud auch eine Heimautomatisierung läuft.

    Da er keinen Lüfter besitzt ist er komplett lautlos. Davor hatte ich einen anderen mini PC, der ebenfalls keine Lüfter hatte. Das Problem bei dem vorhergehenden mini PC war, dass die passive Kühlung nur aus einer Metallplatte bestand, welche die CPU nicht wirklich kühlen konnte.
    Beim Mele ist das Gehäuse aus Aluminium. Dazu hat er eine besondere Oberfläche, die leicht porös ist und damit eine sehr große Kühlfläche bietet. Dadurch ist die passiv Kühlung besonders leistungsfähig. Durch die verbesserte Kühlung kann er die CPU Frequenz via TurboBoost deutlich länger auf Max halten.

    Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist der Stromverbrauch. Für die Heimautomatisierung habe ich zuvor zusätzlich noch einen Raspberry Pi benutzt. Der Mele benötigt aber kaum mehr Strom als der Raspi. Er gönnt sich im Leerlauf um die 6W (ohne WLAN und USB Geräte), bei Vollast liegt er bei ca 12W.

    Als Speicher für die private Cloud habe ich zusätzlich eine M.2 NVMe verbaut. Die funktioniert mit voller Geschwindigkeit absolut ohne Probleme. Die Wärme der NVMe wird über ein Wärmeleitpad an das Gehäuse abgegeben. Damit bleibt auch die NVMe schön kühl.

    In den über 6 Monaten lief er absolut stabil.

    Bei vielen mini PCs mit Intel Celeron N5105 ist das Bios beschnitten, sprich man kann praktisch nichts einstellen. Bei dem Mele 3Q kann man so ziemlich alles einstellen was das Bios hergibt.

    Dass ein N5105 auch für den Desktopbetrieb funktioniert und Windows oder einen Linux Desktop Environment befeuern kann muss man hier nicht extra sagen. Es gibt auch diverse Testvideos zum Mele und seiner Leistung im Netz. Bei den Tests werden aber keine Langzeiterfahrungen geteilt.

    Aufgrund meiner Erfahrungen haben sich diverse Bekannte ebenfalls den Mele 3Q geholt und sind genauso begeistert wie ich.

    Aus meiner Sicht verdient der Mele 3Q nicht nur 5 Sterne sondern noch ein ganz großes Plus dazu.
