This is a small form factor PC, competitor to an Intel NUC or a Lenovo M series Tiny. Comes with OS preinstalled, but also apparently supports Ubuntu or Chrome OS.

The outstanding features are it's newer Apollo Lake chipset, and HDMI 2.0 port which outputs 4k at 60hz, plus you also a spare 2.5" bay for you to stick in a bigger drive if required.

Also quite a few options in the BIOS

It's definitely a lot cheaper than an Intel NUC6CAYH as it already includes storage, RAM and operating system.

Apollo Lake J3455 (1.5-2.3Ghz), Intel® HD Graphics 500
4G RAM LPDDR3 (1600MHz)
64GB Msata SSD
SATA 3 internal port to support a 2.5" drive
Windows 10 Home
Gigabit Ethernet
Dual Band WiFi with AC support (2 antennas)
Wake-On-Lan support (Soft Off state (S5))
HDMI 2.0
VGA
Bluetooth 4.2
2 x USB 3.0
2 x USB 2.0
MicroSD card slot
MIC/Audio jack port
12v/3a AC

FAQ regarding the item:
Is the system fanless? Answer: Not fanless. It uses active cooling.
Is the RAM soldered on? Answer: Yes, it uses soldered RAM.

FAQ

It's showing me higher AUD price than mentioned in the title
* Choose USD as your currency from top left hand corner. Don't select AUD, always choose to pay in USD, it will work out cheaper even after your credit card conversion fees. Also read the below.

How do I ensure I get the cheapest AUD price possible
* To avoid higher currency conversion rates and to get cheapest price from these Chinese websites, you should get a credit card that charges zero currency conversion fees. 28Degrees, Bankwest Zero, Coles Mastercard are generally popular. Irrespective of what credit card you use, always choose to pay in USD on these Chinese websites, (Choose "USD" from top left hand corner). Additionally set your Paypal so it "bills you in the currency on Seller's Invoice". To set your PayPal account this way permanently, follow the steps shown in these snapshots [Highly recommended]

      Hi,

      Unfortunately, that deal will need to be republished. The 20+ votes for the deal was for Samsung + Card reader, not Sandisk A1. I've asked the Op of the deal to republish the deal with the correct link.

  Has anybody here put a Linux distro on one of these without the fan going crazy? Mine behaves normally with W10 but fan goes flat out with every Linux distro that's been tried on it.

  Apollo Lake J3455

  Any discernible differences between the N3xxx processors and the J3xxx processors? Just interested in how a 'J' processor is different to an 'N' processor.

    Not much difference really. J slightly higher performance (and power use)
    E.g
    J3455 - 10w 1.3-2.3ghz
    N3450 - 6w 1.1-2.2ghz
    Same features and graphics
    Higher power supply to J processor means it's likely to be at the higher clocks more often (turbo), but in real world usage I doubt you'd notice much difference.

  Interested to know if Voyo mini PC or Vmac series are better or worse than this one.

  poohduck on 11/12/2017 - 23:34

  after reading reviews, this sounds pretty awesome. Some issues with cpu unable to run 4k at some frame rates. This would suggest that if it wasn't hampered by windows 10, it would run better. Apparently you can get a kodi / ubuntu combined kodi and ubuntu install that is focused on just the media player. This setup is only in 64bit. I haven't read anywhere that the vorke v1 is 64bit (I assume it is).

  Question: is this vorke v1 64bit?

    Yeah it's 64bit.
