Today we bring you another review of an interesting alternative in order to have a miniPC at home. We speak as it could not be otherwise of the Smartee Windows PC offered by the SPC brand. This little computer holds quite a few secrets, and is capable of becoming our entertainment and multimedia center from day one. In addition, its characteristics at the hardware level could make it even more interesting if we put our minds to it and have considerable use of Windwos 10. Therefore, We want to tell you the secrets of this Smartee Windows PC, and carefully analyze if this little computer that SPC puts in your home at a reduced price is worth it.
Therefore, we are going to analyze one by one the strongest and weakest points of this Smartee Windows PC with the intention of clarifying to our readers, whether or not this is a real alternative to the rest of the multimedia centers and miniPCs available in the market. market.
Technical characteristics and specifications
Needless to say, we must start with the purely numerical, and that is that the Smartee with a low-power Intel Atom processor, accompanied by 2GB of RAM. It might not seem like too much a priori, however, it will show more than enough for the task it is intended for. We must bear in mind that we are facing a device designed to perform basic tasks such as office automation, low-range games and above all, consume multimedia content.
As for connectivity, in the Smartee Windows PC we will find connection Bluetooth 4.0 that promises low consumption in any range, a network card that has a connection WiFi 802.11 b / g / n compatible with almost any router on the market and a connection Ethernet (RJ45) for the most demanding with the network. We must mention that the network card will only handle a data transfer rate of 100 Mbps. The truth is that it will be more than enough, but we would have liked the detail of including a card compatible with the speeds that correspond to today's fiber optics. day.
We now continue with the storage, we have a total of 32GB of flash memory, that discounting the space of the operating system we will have a total free 20GB. However, we have to mention that it has a microSD slot that will allow us to include a card of up to 64GB, offering a combined maximum of 96GB of absolute storage.
Finally we will have 2 USB ports classics, a microUSB OTG, input for HDMI 1.4 as well as the classic audio connection 3,5 jack millimeters. We have to say here that you also miss a digital audio output for the most audio connoisseurs. It is true that we can get it through HDMI, but the optical audio connection is very widespread today and it is not an accessory that would have made the device too expensive.
Device design and portability
A device, the Apple TV, will quickly come to mind, and they are easily confused. Which is not at all a negative point of this device. It has a square design with rounded corners, thin, small and quite cute that will go unnoticed in any living room. What's more, the size encourages us to place it on any shelf or even behind the television or the monitor that we are going to use, in this way, we make sure that it does not take up too much space.
To give it power, it will connect directly to the light via a power cord. It would have been great to work through a microUSB cable or via USB to the TV, but we understand that its power and characteristics prevent it, in addition, it does not add to the size of the device, the cable is fine and we will place it easily without being hardly noticed. On the front side we are only going to find the power button, so we can definitely say that the design of this Smartee Windows PC has convinced us at all.
Software and entertainment capabilities
We must always bear in mind that we are facing a device with 2GB of RAM, although with the whole system updated to date, it moves much better than we could imagine. But it is intended by and to consume content. We have tested it with Netflix, Movistar + and other types of streaming media and it has not presented any problem
Graphics performance can suffer with live streamingFor example, BeinSports can pose serious problems if we abuse the capabilities of this MiniPC, however, for the rest of daily tasks it would show more than enough, a somewhat special alternative.
