Minix Neo Z83-4 Windows Mini PC review
2. Package
The Minix Neo Z83-4 Mini PC is available on Amazon for about 160 Euros. Below you see the retail package of the device, which is rated for 24/7 operation mainly due to its fanless design with no moving parts inside, and the low-power, Intel Z-8300 processor:
Inside the box the mini PC is wrapped into an anti static bag. You will also a mutli-language setup guide/product brochure, an HDMI cable, a power adapter and an external wifi antenna:
In order to get the box running you will need to connect an external mouse/keyboard . There are several options to do this; in our case we used the Logitech K400 keyboard that includes a touch pad.
Below you you see a picture of the top side of the device:
An operation LED is located at the front side (ON blue, green in standby):
The power button, a microSDHC/SDXC port, three (3) USB2.0 ports and one USB3.0 port are located at the right panel of the PC:

At the left side there is the Wifi Lan jack for the included antenna and one hole for Kensington Locks:
