Rating: 8.5.

Last year, the Remix Mini was one of the most successful campaigns on Kickstarter, with 21,975 backers pledging $1,647,155 to fund the innovative mini-PC. Today, we look at the Remix Mini as it is now available for general purchase and assess whether it is worth the £50 asking price.

If you do not already know, the Remix Mini is not just a typical mini-PC. What makes it special is that it runs an adapted version of Android 5.1, named Remix OS 2.0. According to Jide Tech, this makes it the ‘world's first true Android PC.' In this review we put the Remix Mini through its paces and let you know whether it is worth the cash.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.

    I see this as a potential PC replacement for those with few needs, so it would be interesting to test it as such, for example see if there’s a browser that works really well in desktop mode, test desktop style office software (such as SoftMaker Office HD Basic), import photos from a camera or phone and print them, that kind of thing.
