Testing the z832 Mini Android x86 PC

I'm back here again today with another tiny PC, the z832 mini Windows PC, but this is not Windows, it's Android x86 and I've installed it on the internal storage. Before we get started, I want to warn you that these little boxes do have a bit of support, and we can get the operating system to reinstall Windows if needed, but I don't recommend doing this yourself, as it may cause issues with your unit. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and sound do not work unless you have USB dongles, so please be aware of this limitation.

I'm actually impressed with the performance of this little box, considering its low power consumption and affordable price tag, which is around $85. It's a tiny low-powered cheap box that can be found shipped from China, but I think it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a tiny PC to mess around with. The specs include 2 GB of RAM, an Intel Atom X5 Z8300 CPU clocked at 1.4 GHz, which turbo boosts up to 1.9 GHz, and an Intel HD 400 display clocked at 500 MHz that supports OpenGL ES 3.1.

To test the performance of this little box, I ran some benchmarks, including In 22, twice 63.5, and 27, which showed that it's not too bad for a tiny PC. I also took a look at the ranking of other Chinese Android TV boxes, which score anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000. This little box is way ahead of the Samsung Galaxy Note, which scores an 80,000 644 but is priced around $500 compared to this little box's $90 price tag.

Next, I ran some more benchmarks, including 3D Mark and Sling Shot Extreme, which showed that it's still not too bad for a tiny PC. The Sling Shot Extreme benchmark scored close to 4,000, while the 3D Mark benchmark scored around 18,100. These scores are impressive considering the small size and low power consumption of this little box.

To test the gaming capabilities of this little box, I tried playing Asphalt Extreme and Minecraft Pocket Edition. Unfortunately, Tutu Video Tester would not launch on this unit, but it just crashed, which means that some games may not be compatible with Android x86. However, I was able to play Asphalt Extreme without any issues, and it ran very smoothly.

It's worth noting that this little box can run any PC-compatible game using a virtual machine or emulation software. While it may not be as fast as a traditional gaming PC, it's still a great option for those who want to play games on the go or have limited budget.

The possibility of running Android x86 on these little mini PCs is also an interesting topic. I would like to do a tutorial on this in the future, but I don't want to encourage users to brick their units while trying to do so. However, based on my experience with this little box, it's definitely possible to run Android x86 on one of these tiny PCs, and they can perform well compared to traditional gaming PCs.

In conclusion, the z832 mini Windows PC is a great option for those looking for a tiny PC that can play games or run other demanding applications. Its low power consumption, affordable price tag, and impressive performance make it a great choice for anyone who wants a portable PC that can handle a variety of tasks.

installed it on the internal storage now before we get started this is a little bit dangerous because these little boxes do have a little bit of support we can get the operating system to reinstall Windows but I don't recommend doing this yourself Wi-Fi Bluetooth and sound do not work unless you have USB dongles this is just a test I wanted to see what this thing could do in Android and I'm actually impressed with the performance I will leave links so you can go and buy this box if you want to as you can see it's a z832 Android x86 2 GB of RAM the CPU is an Intel atom X5 z8300 clocked at 1.4 GHz and it does turbo up to 1.9 the display is an Intel HD 400 clocked at 500 MHz it does support open GL es 3.1 this box has been amazing for Windows I mean it's just a tiny low powered cheap box they're like 85 bucks I believe you got to get them shipped from China but I'm telling you if you're looking for a tiny PC this is a pretty cool little box to mess around with I ran some benchmarks and we're going to test some games Also I ran ran in 22 twice 63,5 27 really not that bad let's go to ranking now if you guys have seen any of my videos on the Chinese Android TV boxes they score anywhere from like 20,000 up to 40,000 this is way ahead Samsung Galaxy Note scores an 80,000 644 but this is a $500 phone versus a $90 little TV box I also ran 3D Mark and since it does support openg GL 3.1 I ran slingshot my device 1,120 so what I'm going to do is just go to best devices slingshot extreme the Nvidia Shield Android TV scores a close to 4,000 scroll on down just a bit so we're still way off from like the Apple iPhone 6s s but it's not that bad for a little TV box ice storm unlimited 18,1 34 best devices so as you can see this is the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 way up there Nvidia Shield 45,000 but these are really expensive phones if you go through here even the Google pixels in here at 27,000 close to 30 so these are benchmarks and benchmarks are really cool but let's see how this thing really performs let's go ahead I'm going to try asphalt extreme and Minecraft Pocket Edition in this video and tutu video tester would not launch if I try to it'll just crash that's given some things just don't work in Android x86 Minecraft Pocket Edition I'm using a Razer Servo Bluetooth controller but I do have it hooked up with a wire right now so I've already laid some Dynamite down some TNT and the game runs very smooth on this little box here let's see how it handles this dynamite not bad at all really cool so Minecraft is definitely playable you can have fun with this let's back out of here and try asphalt extreme so asphalt extreme runs very good on here also I just wanted to give you guys a quick look it is possible to run Android x86 on one of these little mini PCS like I said in the beginning I would like to do a tutorial on it but I don't want you guys bricking your units and then being mad at me so I mean you could pretty much find out how to do this it'll work just like any PC don't come complain in if you brick your unit though I really appreciate you guys watching I'm going to be doing more testing with this little box I want to run Linux on here and see how it performs this little X5 is the same CPU that's in the upboard pretty much the same thing that's in the latte pan and they do perform very well like always thanks for watchinghey
