Design:

This mini PC is petite, space-saving, yet powerful enough to run applications and programs when it comes to design. Constructed with the CNC-machined aluminum alloy, it is solid and gives a classy vibe. The build materials also promote heat dissipation that protects the PC’s components from overheating. A fan is also fixed inside to keep the temperatures under control. Moreover, the design makes this model portable to travel with it easily. 

It doesn’t incorporate many ports, especially a USB-C port. That could be a concern if you were planning to use this to connect several other machines such as a printer etc. However, you can counter the issue by buying an adapter providing extra USB ports. The incorporation of VGA comes off as a surprise because this port isn’t in use much. However, it can be very useful in places that still use devices compatible with the VGA. 

Performance:

Aero 2 pro comes with pretty decent specs like Intel Celeron and Intel UHD that provide excellent performance. It’s a good mini PC for business work and light gaming. As per CrystalDiskMark, the read score came out at 535MBps, and the written score came out at 466MBps. In Novabench and Cinebench, the numbers were pretty good too. The Windows Experience Index was recorded at 7.1. 

The fan might get loud when put under load, but this mini PC would perform excellently. Also, with a 4k display, it works smoothly and efficiently. It’s also better in performance than many brands that come with the same design.

Conclusion:

Aerofara Aero 2 Pro-Mini PC is a great option if you’re looking for an affordable and compact machine that can easily run software and programs with Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro. You can also use it as a media player for television and monitor. Moreover, you can also use this PC for light gaming and office/home use.
