The delivery was well packed in the original cardboard Terra. Supplied with a Quick Install Guide, a driver CD, a power supply including power cord, the base and the holders for HDD and optical drive were included.
The computer should be connected as a small multimedia center in the living room via HDMI to the TV to watch recorded TV with the stick on a different computer programs and DVDs for sale and used occasionally for surfing.
Compared to the product here on Amazon was still missing when Barebone next to the HDD and the memory an optical drive. With regard to the hard drive I had the choice, to order a normal ", an SSD or a hybrid disk. I chose due to the envisaged intended use for a hybrid hard drive with a total of 508 GB of storage. The built from me 4GB RAM Riegel comes from Hynix. Important:.. there is only one slot available, so it must be a 4 GB module, if you want to utilize the maximum capacity but the computer is running quite smoothly even with 2 GB RAM presented the optical slim drive a DVD / DR-RW combination of HP. The operating system I decided at short notice for Ubuntu 14:04.
Have to say I have decided on this little computer because he has me optically addressed and I was able to get the barebones cheap. If that Terra-Nettop here might be too expensive and who the installation of various components trusts himself, can also have a look on the internet for a shuttle nettop Barebone, is visually and probably almost identical and level of equipment.
Now back to my nettop: The installation of the HDD, the memory, and the optical drive designed Also due to the Quick Install Guide and the supplied brackets (I needed nothing but a suitable screwdriver!) Pleasingly simple. Although already had some experience, but so far only by large "computers and since the running times but from a bit more complicated. The installation of ubuntu was done fairly quickly, the existing computer driver CD, I do not need this. I have the computer now 1 Week in use and am very satisfied. It is stable and fast, both in multimedia applications as well as surfing the Internet. The start-up takes only a brief minute. The non-existent fan the unit is very quiet and has always be operated using either its stand which is fixed with a screw on the computer base. Optionally you can also get a VESA mount and attach the computer so that on the back of a flat-screen TV.
There is a 4-in-1 card reader and a USB port as well as the ejection of the slimline drive at the front. On the back of course, the power supply connector, 4 USB ports, a network port (RJ45), one for the microphone, a headphone output, an opening for Kensington lock and a VGA and an HDMI port. A second VGA port is covered and has no function.
All in all, the little one "with only 1.5 liters and an astonishing amount of looks while also fabulous. I with the brand Terra previously had good experience and would recommend also these mini-computer!
