review Dell Inspiron i3050 Mini PC - Review

Is this more powerful than a Raspberry Pi?

Hi Lon from the past, I’m watching this video as I’ve just ordered an older refurbished mini pc and am wondering how it might go as a HTPC.

i have one and would like to add a harddrive in the tray inside. where can i get sata connector ?

I know I'm bit late to the party, but mine is still a bit slow, even with an 8GB stick. Still haven't upgraded the storage, however, and its used primarily for video streaming on YouTube, etc. Would you happen to know if upgrading the M.2 Drive to a larger capacity would help with speed, as I only have roughly 8GB of storage space left after system updates and the installation of Chrome. Overall a good little unit even in 2022, however.

I hope you respond to this, please can you tell me if you need a internet cable for it?

It's not longer available, nor at amazon nor at dell website. I guess it is a very old model for 2020.

I been using this mini PC for 4 years now and it's still pretty smooth. All the Windows upgrades have been smooth as well. The only thing I needed to upgrade is the ssd from 32gb to 128gb. I use it for casual web browsing and video streaming like Netflix. I'm surprised that Dell hasn't made any new versions. The only downside is that it doesn't have 4K.

is the storage upgradeable?

Can it stream reddit sports links?

Man lon, you truly are the Go To guy for laptops and small pc reviews.

We have these for small children in a classroom and you can't install anything on them due to windows wanting to do updates and other programs take up a lot of GIGs (OFFICE). This thing has like 30 and to do anything more you will have to upgrade and you'll have to find parts when it should come with them. But nope! Can't play installed games, and all these kids want to do is go on Roblox and don't care about learning Math or English... oh, well... am not a teacher or a concerned parent.

OMG Karateka Disk in background!!! Awesome!

Can I play my farmville 2 from Facebook. My PC is slow and it keeps telling me I need to download the flash player to be able to play

Probably a 2.5 inch laptop hard drive would fit.
