MeLE Quieter3Q Fanless Mini PC Windows 11 pro Celeron N5105 16GB 512GB, Portable Desktop HDMI Wifi6 Gigabit Ethernet, Micro PC Unlock Bios Auto Power on, SSD PXE on Astrophotography Telephotography

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.

Weve purchased about 25 of these so far and have had no issues to date. Theyre fanless, small, and silent. What are they good for? They make for a decent general purpose industrial pc (fanless is important for keeping the dust out) or a basic office PC for regular use. They can also be used as light duty dedicated servers. Dont expect to game on them or do heavy video editing, but most everything else they can handle with flying colors. Quieter3Q are a decent bit faster than the older Quieter2 models, in my testing Ive seen about a 30% performance increase. I think overall theyre on the right track with this product line, I hope they keep developing it while sticking to the fanless design. Improvements Id like to see in the future are dual channel memory and models with NVMe by default in place of eMMC.

This has been a great addition to run my home automation and services. I keep loading it with more services but the new CPU just keeps taking the load!

After I checked out the windows version installed on it I powered it off opened it up installed an nvme drive I had laying around and set up OMV on it… using it as a nas and utilizing the 4 usb3 drives attached is great. May run a little hot depending on what you’re doing… but stick some heat sinks on top and or bottom and it’ll be just fine.

My first one was DOA. No video out. Replacement was quick and worked great. Love these little PCs

This little Bluetooth Keyboard is cool. I rate it 8.5 - 9.5.

This works great for hosting dedicated game servers on and even web servers or use as a workstation. Dont expect lots of snappy performance but there is enough to browse the web, watch movies, YouTube, etc.

I have a few 3D printers and use this to run multiple instances of Octoprint to control and monitor them. I also have three webcams attached - one for each printer. Its mounted in a 3D printed case with a compact touchscreen monitor. Works great for my application, and I did not have to get a bunch of Pis - which are hard to come by right now.

Ive had the MeLE 3Q for a couple weeks now and Im impressed with how reliably it works and the more than adequate performance for streaming TV. Setup only took an hour or so to cover config and online OS updates etc. just needed to find a wired keyboard for that. I then used the Logitech K400 keyboard, and it worked straight away (great value for money on that one). I use VPN and then TV streaming using browser to get international programs and it works a treat. Its always on, always there and so far has worked flawlesly. Ive also added a heatsink to rest on top but dont think it was totally necessary. I did it as the MeLE is used inside a home theatre cabinet. Totally happy with it.

Im using this as an HTPC.. got Kodi and YouTube on it. Probably put YouTube TV on it and can still browse the Internet when I want. Its small and attached to the back of my TV with some velcro.
