El mini PC “made in China” más extraño del mundo

Summary

This video reviews the Nipogi AK1 Plus, an ultra-affordable Chinese mini PC. It has an unusual 'sandwich' design that splits open to reveal internal expandable storage. Despite low-end specs like a Celeron CPU and integrated graphics, it handles 4K video playback well. With frequent sales down to ~$100, it's one of the cheapest Windows mini PCs available. While no powerhouse, it's decent for basic office/web work, media playback, or light duty as a secondary PC.
