HIGOLE GOLE1 Plus Mini-PC from $195.49

The Chinese manufacturer with the strange name seems to have become aware of its name and has given itself a new name – at least to the presentation of its new mini-PC – with “HIGOLE” a new name. At least the product name “Gole” can now be distinguished from the company name. What changes does the HIGOLE GOLE1 Plus Mini-PC  bring with it?

Technical specifications

The HIGOLE GOLE1 – unlike the predecessor model Gole Gole 1 – can no longer switch between Windows 10 and Android apps, which is questionable and not a good innovation. Considerably stronger is however the 6000mAh large battery , which should grant some hours of working time. With 8 inches , however, the display is again comparable to that of a smartphone, how well the operation by touchscreen works, is therefore questionable. Surfing is possible via WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 is also installed.

With 4 GB of memory  , the mini-PC does not come as a miracle of technology, but the Intel Atom X5-Z8350 quad-core processor is often used in smaller notebooks . The internal memory is quite large with 64 GB / 128 GB for a mini PC and can be extended with a MicroSD card. This gives you enough space for some photos and videos. The small computer can also be used as a TV box, with an HDMI output on the side.

With a weight of 660 g  with dimensions of 19.9 x 13.6 x 2.7 cm , the Mini-PC should be easy to transport and a solid device for use on the go, for more complex work a notebook should be more suitable. But all in all the mini pc is interesting enough and can be used for various assignments.
