This suggests that a slightly larger cooling system would have suited the CK10 quite well. The maximum clock under load of all cores (4x 4.6 GHz) could only be maintained for a few seconds during the benchmarks. However, during the stress tests in the next chapter, we could partly see that the CPU’s guaranteed minimum clock of 3.4 GHz was sometimes briefly undercut on all cores. Thus, a vacuum cleaner is not on the desk at any time.ĭespite the installed 35W CPU, the case only heats up minimally and the produced waste heat is definitely kept within limits. Here the fan is quite audible but much less penetrating than in a classic gaming notebook. However, it looks a bit different when running benchmarks or during the installation of Windows updates. Depending on the position of the case, the fan noise might even get lost in the general background noise. When browsing the web or watching a YouTube video (1080p), the NiPiGo CK10’s fan remains pleasantly unobtrusive. In the Start menu, we only found the apps that are installed or reloaded in Windows 11 anyway. It is very commendable at this point that NiPoGi does without its own bloatware or pre-installed software. A large part of the setup time is spent downloading and installing the Windows updates. Depending on the Internet connection, the entire setup process should not take longer than 15 to 30 minutes. Once in Windows, we then installed any Windows updates that were available. This was followed by selecting the language, (de)activating the privacy options and assigning a name for the local user account. A few seconds after switching on, we were greeted by the Windows 11 setup wizard. However, this all turned out to be very simple overall, since Windows 11 Pro 64bit was already pre-installed. Practical test of the NiPoGi CK10Īfter unpacking the NiPoGi CK10, the mini PC must first be connected and set up. Unfortunately, an external card reader must always be used here when using the NiPiGo CK10. Realtek RL8852BE (Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0)Ī slot for SD or micro-SD memory cards would definitely have been desirable. Technical data Processorġx m.2 NVMe (occupied by Netac 512GB M.2 2280 SSD PCIe Gen3*4) But let’s venture a look at the technical specifications first. Furthermore, the CK10 comes with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and activated. At the same time, the mini-PC is supposed to offer three monitor ports, a modern variety of ports, and a sleek, timeless design. This is supposed to be achieved by the installed Intel Core i7-11390H, which was paired with 16GB DDR4 in dual channel and a 512GB NVMe SSD according to the manufacturer’s website. NiPoGi advertises the CK10 with the slogan “Born for creativity”. Benchmark: Productivity, System, SSD and Gaming.
