Pros : Compact size, intelligent cooling, plenty of connectivity ports
Cons : No Bluetooth
Bottomline : RDP XL-800 Mini PC is a suitable choice for tight workspaces for daily productivity tasks. It can be used in point-of-sale (PoS) terminals, kiosk displays, etc., or as a computing platform for small workstations.
RDP XL-800 is an affordable Mini PC with the compact form factor, which can be mounted behind the monitor or tucked against it in an upright position. In other words, this compact Mini PC can save space and is suitable for a tight workspace. To give you an idea of its compactness, the PC has 20.5 x 6.2 x 23 cm dimensions and weighs a mere 331 grams. The PC doesn’t ship with a monitor, keyboard, or mouse, so you’ll need to factor those into your cost if you decide to buy this one.
Light and Intelligent PC for long hours operation
With the compact design, the PC has been built keeping various requirements and working scenarios in mind. The top panel gets a honeycomb design which allows it intake ample of air to reduce heat issue. Also, it comes with an intelligent internal cooling fan and advanced heat absorbers which enable you to run the device 24X7 in temperatures up to 45 degrees centigrade. It has 6 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA, LAN and other ports, so this gives you freedom to connect any device with the PC with ease.
The mini PC doesn’t have Bluetooth connectivity so one or two of these ports are likely to be permanently occupied by the mouse and keyboard. There are headphone and microphone sockets on the front with an additional line-out for external speakers at the back.
Performance
The review unit we received was powered by 4th generation 3.3 GHz Core i5 processors, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB SATA HDD and runs on Windows 7. With the basic productivity apps, it runs very smoothly. Also, as it has integrated Intel HD graphics 2500, so you can run some games and applications that need graphics but don't expect much as it can't support graphic intensive games. The machine is suited for light graphics work.
We ran benchmarks to check the ability to perform a series of multimedia and media tasks. In PC Mark 8 test suite that includes web browsing, photo editing, video editing, gaming it scored 2750. In 3D Mark 8 that tests the graphics capability, it scored P1006. Being an entry level PC aimed at users who are looking to do basic work such as MS office, watching videos, the scores are pretty good.
In our real world testing, we were able to see a little lag in the performance, when we ran two browsers, Firefox, and Chrome simultaneously. While running basic apps there was no lag in the performance, but running multiple apps and browsers affected the PC performance.
