How Much Abuse Can a Mini PC Take?

#minipc #homelab #stresstest Grab this mini PC here: https://amzn.to/4lXwQjj I took the $200-ish Kamrui E1 mini PC and decided to absolutely punish it — not with spreadsheets or media streaming, but by loading it up with as many virtual machines as it could handle. With its Intel N97 CPU, 16GB RAM, and Windows 11 Pro (with Hyper-V enabled), I managed to run 10 Ubuntu headless VMs simultaneously, each with 1 CPU and 1GB of RAM. Even at 100% CPU, disk, and RAM usage, it stayed operational without crashing — genuinely impressive for such a tiny device. This video walks through the specs, internals, VM setup, and stress testing I performed. Whether you're looking for a cheap homelab machine, a secure crypto wallet host, or a sandbox for risky downloads, this mini PC might be way more capable than you'd expect.
