This is probably the tiniest all-in-one PC you can buy right now — shame its small display can only support an antiquated VGA resolution

Ouvis S1 Mini PC: Was $198 Now $170 at Geekbuying
Save $28 Powered by the small-but-mighty N95, the Ouvis S1 stands out because of its 50mm integrated display as well as support for two SSDs and the presence of dual LAN connectors. I like the fact that it comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD as well.

The Ouvis S1 is an intriguing mini PC, one that comes with the ubiquitous Intel N95 processor and retails for just under $180 at the time of writing, ahead of Black Friday. What sets it apart from the competition is an LCD screen that can be customized to show a wide range of system data, either in portrait or in landscape mode. 

The display is only a 2-inch in diagonal and has a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, lower than the iPhone 4 and definitely not enough to run any desktop application (think Adobe Photoshop). I remember the Higole Gole1 Plus from 2017 which attempted to glue a small display on a mini PC; the result, back then was a disaster.

The Ouvis S1 (also known as the Acemagics S1 in the US) is much better regardless of its position (laid flat or standing using the optional stand); it is not much bigger than rivals (41 x 124 x 128mm) but offers more expansion possibilities: there’s two Ethernet Gigabit LAN ports and you can easily swap components out (the SODIMM and two M2 SSDs) simply by removing a side cover which is kept in place using magnets rather than thumbscrews. Clever!

A bigger chassis means more space for connectors and the S1 has a lot of these. Other than the pair of LAN ports, there’s four USB ports (sadly, no Type-C although there’s two USB 2.0 ports), two HDMI connectors and an audio connector. Add in 16GB of RAM, 512GB SSD, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 4.2 and you have a fairly decent mini PC that should be able to handle any light tasks. 

Just bear in mind that it doesn’t come with a VESA mount option but does have RGB LED strip. It runs on Windows 11 Home but does support Linux and would make a great server for media (Plex or FTP).

The market is crying for a micro all-in-one PC which would essentially be a tethered laptop without a keyboard, a 16-inch full HD display with mini PC attached to it. I reckon that it can be had for less than $300 which would be a mighty good bargain if all you need is a decent transportable computer.
