Many people begin to know Android system from mobile phone system, and many tablets and smart TV boxes have begun to customize Android system in depth. Now many hardware devices in life will use Android system to develop Applications, however, are still rare on the PC side. Today I would like to share this Remix with you The Mini Android computer is the first. It has overturned our understanding of PC, and this Android minicomputer uses Android Designed under 5.0, Remix with PC desktop experience OS， It has the functions of windows, toolbars, shortcut keys, multi window display and so on on traditional PC computers. In fact, it can also have many functions that can be realized, and it can save power in particular. Let's take a closer look at this model Product!

Remix The package of Mini is similar to that of many smart boxes today. It is packed in hard kraft paper, and the English logo "the first real Android in the world" is used on the package From the slogan of "PC", we can see that TechTec wants to break through the traditional Android system and bring users the most comfortable operating experience. There are two versions to choose from: 1GB RAM/8GB ROM and 2GB RAM/16GB ROM version, generally 1GB is enough for ordinary family entertainment

In addition to the Remix Mini standard host, there are HDMI cables, power adapter wires, instructions and three guarantee certificates

Remix The overall appearance of Mini is quite mellow. When I first met it, I felt like an intelligent network box. The surface was treated with frosting, and the overall feel was very good. The overall size is very small, and one can be seen on the top LOGO， The overall power on key is set at the LOGO position, and the touch switch is adopted. When the adapter is powered on, there is no need to start the machine manually. The host starts automatically, and pressing and holding it is a forced shutdown. For the touch switch design There will be some small problems, such as misoperation. Personally, it would be better if there are physical keys

Remix Mini's Appearance size is 2.6 cm x 12.4 cm x 8.8cm, equipped with all-star 64 bit Cortex-A53 quad core processor, the main frequency is 1.2GHz, and an LED indicator is designed in the front to check the running status of the host. The indicator is in the power on state The status displays green. If you can add some other display statuses in the later stage, such as standby, breathing light display statuses for specific applications in the system, etc

The bottom design of Remix Mini is similar to that of a smart box. It has a circle of anti-skid pads and some main parameters of the host are marked on the bottom

Remix Mini's expansion interfaces are: power hole, network card interface, two USB2.0 interfaces, TF card slot, HDMI HD hole, 3.5mm audio hole, reset hole. Compared with traditional expansion interfaces There may not be too many PCs, but for the MINI design, it is impossible to design more interfaces. What should be noted is that similar to the traditional smart box, the display output of this Android computer also uses HDMI HD interface design. If users need to connect to the old VGA interface, they need to configure an HDMI to VGA converter, which can solve the display problem,

Remix Mini is equipped with Android system in-depth customization Remix OS， It can be seen from the overall interface that it is very similar to the WINDOWS interface, and also very similar in operation. Because it is an Android customized system, the installed software is also all APK format applications, with built-in fire Fox browser, app store, RAR decompression software, and some application functions like the recycle bin in Windows system are also set up, which can be easily used by friends who are accustomed to operating computers

Remix Mini has set the notification bar at the lower right corner. When running USB flash drive and application notifications, there will be prompts. Some shortcut key designs are set below the notification bar, such as mute, screenshot, location and other related function keys

Remix The operation of Mini on the desktop is similar to that of a PC computer. Right click on the desktop to set the resolution of the display. Adjust the resolution of the display according to the user's own needs. After all, the Android system will have There are many background caches, so the one click cleaning function is also set in the lower right corner, which can clean the background and facilitate users' smooth use. It is recommended to add a similar customized locking application function in the future, such as some specific applications such as QQ It will be cleared by one click

Start key design with WINDOWS, Remix Open the OS system more like a menu bar, you can see all the applications intuitively. However, a switch button is designed in the upper right corner, so that users can soft boot by themselves. In the start menu, click the right button of the software to uninstall The power consumption of the load operation is smaller than that of the Remix Mini PC, and it will enter the standby mode even if it is not used for a long time. It is not a specific requirement to choose not to shut down

In the system, you can also set some gadgets according to your own needs

Remix One of the major features of Mini is that it can display multiple windows, watch TV, chat QQ, and watch web pages. It is hoped that in the future, a control key can be created to adjust the size in a unified window mode. At present, the size of some software can be used It is not very convenient. Although there is a computer display mode in browsing the web, I hope it can be optimized to an automatic switching mode later, so that users do not need to adjust it manually

Remix OS system setting interface

Remix Mini has built in wps office software, which is fully competent for daily office work. In terms of storage mode, it can also be saved in fast disk Google drive, onedrive and other cloud platforms facilitate file storage and transmission

Remix Mini can be called a multi-functional Android computer. In the era when the streets are full of calls for radio and television to ban all major Internet boxes, Remix Mini is deeply customized based on Android, and I believe that I will not be alone to habitually install some video software for experience. It is actually the same as an ordinary smart box after use, Remix Mini can use all kinds of video software very smoothly. Of course, the only thing missing from the traditional box is a remote control. Can we adapt it through some multi-functional remote controls or can it be easily solved

Remix Mini needs to optimize the keys of some games in addition to easily running some mobile games in entertainment games. Of course, if you want to play console games, you can also easily play console games, such as NBA, Ghost Cry, Assassin's Creed and other large-scale games, while ensuring a good network environment

Remix Mini Remix developed based on Android system OS， It's not hard to see the designers' intentions. From the user's point of view, they create a habit of operation similar to that on PC computers, understand Android from a new perspective, and from the perspective of office work, I personally think it is enough to meet the needs of the day Although there will be some small regrets in regular use, such as the problem of input method, we can say that this is a new attempt in video playback. We hope that some local LAN sharing functions can be added later, which can be directly Read the local shared devices, and let more access ports to realize interworking, which can also realize a big data management of the LAN. I believe this is just the beginning, and look forward to better and more powerful functions.
