Or, in the Macintosh or Windowsversions, you can choose the “Open Disk Image.” commandfrom the “File” menu,or the ‘O’ command from the Control Mode to bringup the bring up the standard dialog. You can drag the icon of the file ontoto the Mini vMac window. If it does not find the ROM image, it will waitfor you to tell it where it is. When Mini vMac launches, it will look for a ROM image file in a numberof possible locations. If you don’t have a Macintosh Plus,you could check the“ Where to buy an old Macintosh”page. So to legally use Mini vMac, you need toown a real Macintosh Plus. Note thatthe ROM image file is copyright Apple Computer, and may notbe redistributed. A program such as“ CopyRoms”,when run on a real Macintosh Plus, will savethis information to a file, which can then be transferredto the computer on which you want to run Mini vMac. Truth be told, though, none of the existing competitors we’ve tested lately (like the Chuwi HiBox) have the quality of components found in the VMac Mini.The ROM (“Read Only Memory”) contains information needed forthe Macintosh Plus to function, and the emulation of theMacintosh Plus also needs this information. Voyo should solve these two issues in the next version of this PC to hit the jackpot. While you can add a USB Wi-Fi dongle to your device, you cannot really do anything to mitigate the boisterous cooler. However, the lack of Wi-Fi out of the box is frustrating, and the noisy fan is equally annoying at times. On the one hand, the Voyo VMac Mini will appeal to businesses looking for a reasonably well-specced workstation with oodles of local storage and an affordable price tag. Other tests we performed (Passmark, Cinebench, Novabench and CrystalDiskMark) cemented the belief that Voyo may well have struck a sweet spot with the VMac Mini. The Atto benchmark also returned some very good read/write numbers thanks to the M.2 SSD, even higher than the SSD inside the Asus AsusPro B9440UA laptop managed. In terms of benchmarks, its CPU-Z single and multi-thread scores are far ahead of the Dell Latitwhich is powered by the Intel Core M-5Y71. This is a solid device that will run almost any office or business applications without flinching thanks to a capable processor and a surprisingly nippy storage subsystem. When it came to sheer performance, we couldn’t fault Voyo’s mini PC. Expect the device to deliver 802.11n Wi-Fi. This is likely to be down to a defective component rather than Windows itself as Bluetooth – which is usually serviced by the same card – was unavailable as well. Unfortunately we couldn’t get Wi-Fi to work at all on the VMac Mini. The PC logged straight into desktop mode without asking for a password. The device ran a licensed version of Windows 10 Home which we found to be already registered, a common practice among Chinese manufacturers and something we neither condone nor encourage. Still, we don’t understand the logic of having eMMC flash storage in addition to the SSD – although it does open the way for multiple SKUs (one with flash memory only, one with SSD and flash, and the other with SSD and hard disk drive). What sets apart the VMac Mini from the rest of the competition, and explains the high wattage PSU, is the fact that this mini PC can take a laptop drive (2.5-inch SATA) in addition to the 128GB M.2 2280 SSD and the embedded 32GB eMMC flash storage.
