T6 Pro Mini PC Stick Review
Today is another first on my channel and blog with the release of the T6 Pro, the first Mini PC stick that I have seen to include an internal cooling fan. No anytime I see a include a cooling fan to me is a good indicator that the device intends to generate more heat than usual, and that usually stems from high performance derived from a CPU or GPU. In this review the T6 Pro does just that and I got some good benchmarks both as a Windows desktop, and in my dual-boot experiment to FydeOS see the results below.

T6 Pro FydeOS Tryout
In this fight OS experiment I use a USB hub to expand the number of USB ports that allowed me to use the installation flash drive, or to install FydeOS on a USB external hard drive connected to the PC stick. Everything was successful for the most part until I got the error that Open Gapps currently installed on a USB drive connected to the PC stick. It can only be installed on a dedicated internal storage or SATA expandable storage. Other than that everything else works perfectly. And before I forget you do not get Wi-Fi connectivity in FydeOS or android x86 you only get LAN connection. Bluetooth works okay.
Pros and cons
Final Thoughts
The T6 Pro PC stick I must say I’m impressed with the power and performance this PC stick delivers. I especially like that they have included an internal cooling fan to control overheating as we have seen in similar models.
