The Vensmile W10 is the size of some large phones or medium sized tablets, yet it packs much more of a punch, and can do a lot more. Read on to see our review of the Vensmile W10.
The Vensmile W10 measures in at 5.7 x 3.1 x 0.2 inches. I just wanted to get that out of the way in the beginning because it’s such an amazing feat. Knowing the size of the Mini PC right off the beginning puts the rest of the specs and features into perspective. The engineers here have really done something new here and they’ve done a great job.
The CPU running inside of the W10 is an Intel Atom Z3735F. This clocks in at up to 1.83GHz, with 4 cores spinning at once. Working alongside that CPU is 2GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC flash storage for quick loading. The eMMC is much faster than traditional flash storage, which will help with boot speed and overall performance of the device.
The graphics processor are built into the CPU, but will be able to deal with basically every task except heavy gaming. Playing 1080p movies will be no problem at all and it will not skip during any other media playback. The OS running on the W10 is Windows 8.1. There are some things being done to hopefully have Windows 10 running on it, but right now it’s not possible.
With it being so small, it only weighs in at a staggeringly light 142 grams. That’s lighter than pretty much every smartphone on the market right now. This lightweight mini PC is great for people who need a portable PC, or want something they can take on the go. Bringing it to and from work, or to a friends house isn’t a big deal because of it’s small size. It quite literally will fit in your back pocket.
The metal exterior dissipates heat, so the W10 is silent. This is a big deal for people who will be using this for media, as it won’t be noisy and distract your viewing. For ports, it has 2 USB ports, headphone, TF card, Mini HDMI, and Micro USB. Note that the Mini HDMI isn’t something that comes standard with many devices so you will need to probably buy that cable or converter.
There is Bluetooth 4.0 and Wifi a/b/g/n so you are good to go for wireless connectivity.
Last but not least is the internal built in battery. This feature is amazing because it turns this mini PC into something truly portable. It will run for 2 hours if you’re doing something CPU intensive like watching a movie, or up to 4 hours if you’re just doing some light normal work. You can also use this battery pack to charge other devices. If you have a cell phone that is low on battery, use the W10 to recharge. You can get almost 2 full charges for an iPhone 6.
