Consumer review (newegg.com)

Foxconn nT-iBT19: Only designed for light use

Compact, good Debian/Ubuntu compatibility, good price/performance

Noisy fan started going bad after 2 months of continuous operation. Somewhat fragile all-plastic construction.

Get the quad core and not the dual core.

The dual core most of the time can't keep up with anything over 420p on youtube. The only issues I have seen are from youtube HD for the dualcore. I don't have issues with netflix, other websites, or local videos. The quad core has no issues. Pay a...

I have both the dual core and quad core version. I have not had any issues with viewing HD on youtube with the quad core. I am running win 10 with SSD. it takes about 10 secs to fully boot.

I wish this thing came with a remote were you can power it on and off by remote.

If you are looking for a very cheap and small HTPC, have some extra hard drives laying around, all you have to do is pop in 4 gigs of memory and it's a wrap, son. I couldn't get Steam streaming on this but it could be my network setup as Steam wouldn't...

One of my better newegg purchases. It's small, quite, replaced my old HTPC and is a lot faster than I had expected. After upgrading to the latest Intel HD drivers, 1080p playback is great for the most part ; Boots into windows in about 11-15 seconds ;...

These cons are very picky because overall, the nT-iBT19 is overall a fantastic product ; Some 1080p 60fps videos on youtube were a bit choppy, but it could have just been the stream ; Opening the case was a little tricky. I'm always ultra careful with...

Great Little... I mean Nano PC =)

I had some issues getting it to boot "headless" after Ubuntu was installed and working great with a monitor attached. I found it was something with CSM Support having to be Enabled in the BIOS. I also changed settings to allow both Legacy and UEFI...

Small and discrete server! (I barely even notice it on my computer desk hosting up services) ; Runs quiet! (I hear it every now and then ramp up the fan, however, that's if I'm trying to listen for it) ; Quick installation of memory and harddisk and...

Seemed hard to find answers to my concerns initially but finally got those all resolved. See my "Other Thoughts

Foxconn nT-iBT19

I wanted an affordable headless Linux server, and spent many frustrated hours trying to get the thing to boot with no monitor plugged in. I finally ran across an answer in the questions section for this device (thanks to Vanyun for the answer!) I...

This is a great little device for the price. It is small, quiet, and is a quad core celeron.

With the default settings there are some issues with Linux (Debian 7,8 and Ubuntu 14.04, 15.05 were tested). It seems the bios is missing the proper ACPI tables to run linux properly. Odd things like the monitor turning off and not coming back on when...
