I should say when the unit boots you have the option to select WIndows or android with an Icon.... In windows there is a boot to Android Icon so easy to switch between . Cmos settings very sparse not much at all, 4 or so screen of basic setting Video Playback on windows Ok Netflix also. So what to do...do you remove the Android Partition to get more space for WIndows 10 Works well as is, add a sd card for more storage etc, ext hdd and that internal USB port might be able to hide a USB stick in there For what this is had a lot worse, If you want a Basic unit for under I think $80us, this would have to have some use. Office, Internet casual games, lots of things....

The Alfawise X5 Mini PC is used for streaming Netflix and Amazon Video on an older Full HD screen (1080P). Occasionally this computer is used to surf the internet, mostly with the Chrome browser. This small computer comes with dual boot, Windows 10 and Android. I have erased the Android section to free more space for Windows 10. I have also erased all unnecessary Windows components, disabled automatic upgrades and I use the lan cable not the W-lan. With this setup the PC works great, the CPU load remains at around 50-60% during the streaming. Streaming is fluent, no stops. Power consumption is very low, mostly 5-7W, even with full CPU load I measured less than 8W

Suggestion

Unfortunately it can only be switched on manually by pushing the power button.

Utilizo o Alfawise Mini PC para ver videos usando o programa XBMC. Navegação na internet sem problemas. Acabei desativando o Android pois como só tem 32GB de ROM fica pouco para 2 sistemas o que impede do windows atualizar, mesmo eu tendo colocado um cartão adicional. Deixando apenas o windows com mais memória funcionou muito bem. Reproduzo videos 1080p sem travamentos com uso da cpu em 50-60%. Navegação na internet bem fluida. Como não me interessa não testei com jogos. Poderia ter 64GB de ROM para poder usar os 2 sistemas sem problemas.

It works as advertised. Overall satisfied. Didn't try Android nor Windows, went straight to Lubuntu. To linux people: you can erase all the partitions and install Lubuntu using a live USB key; you'll just have to manually hijack EFI, after Grub updates, otherwise it won't boot. sudo cp /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi /boot/efi/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi sudo update-grub Bluetooth won't work in linux. Everything else ok. Wi-Fi signal just average. I only use LAN anyway. No wakeonlan support.

Suggestion

WiFi strength average at best: no use as Wi-Fi hot spot. It has a hardware power-on switch, no support for auto power-on nor wake-on-lan.

I receive my alfawise x5 yesterday and I start it immediately. No problem, except that placing windows + android on 32 GB it's a bit stupid. he hard drive was partitioned in 15 partition and once the update of windows finished I had the message hard drive full. So I install Debian on it and it's just perfect. Except that this morning the computer wasn't starting... One push on the reset button at the back, and it start again. In fact the lan interface was working without being detected. ifi was not working to and after few hours it was working again.... Just the bios which isn't update.How updating the bios????? unknow, impossible to find any solution on Internet.But that's a good stuff with linux.

Это отличный мини-РС за реальные деньги. С завода установлены две системы - Андроид и Винда10. При включении можно выбрать в какую из них загрузиться. Пассивное охлаждение (не шумит), низкая цена (самый выгодный на рынке вариант из подобных мини-PC на Атоме Х5 ). Винду10 для нормальной работы надо переустановить на Lite (облегченный от рекламы и всякого коммерческого шлака) вариант.

Fast responsive Mini PC. It comes with Windows 10 Pro with some preinstalled languages and Android as as dual boot. Be aware that Windows 10 is 1703 release and you will be unable to upgrade to 1809 as of time of this writing. You can considere activate windows and fully wipe the box and install solely windows.I was not able to boot from any pendrive. Ive no idea why yet. Slick box look, Robber feet. Cable hdmi, power included. You may need to get an extender cable for usb to connect pen/flash drives, otherwise you may scratch the plastic. It does not get too hot, just warm.
