Stress Test: Checking CPU Core temputores

In this stress test, we overloaded the CPU and RAM resources to their peak while running HeavyLoad and the Libre Hardware Monitor app in the background to check temperature changes in realtime. In max stress, you got a peak power consumption of 21-22W, and a few of the CPU quad cores reached up to 89°C. In regular standard operation, without overloading the hardware resources, you can expect temperatures to range between 40-68°C.

Video Streaming Performance

In this popular category, the MelE Quieter can handle the playback of video files in 2K and 4K resolution very well. We tested and played a few videos from youtube through the browser with excellent results. WiFi 6 connectivity significantly impacted performance and helped stream videos using our 1GB fiber internet connection. From a distance of 3-6 meters from our Redmi AX5400 router, we reached average throughput speeds of 400-600Mbps.

Testing Samples with VideoLan Player (VLC)

In this test, we played 10 video samples in 4K, 2K, and 1080P resolutions with VLC Media Player. From our list, only one video sample didn’t play well, with a noticeable buffering / slowdown. Overall, we can conclude from that and some youtube playback tests that the device does an excellent job of playing high-resolution videos.

No.

Gaming performance

The MeLE Quieter HD3Q hardware is entry-level type, so don’t expect too much from Intel’s UHD Graphics GPU. This GPU operates at clock frequencies of 450-800MHz and is mainly suitable for desktop workstation applications and none heavy gaming usage.


Power Usage

Based on our tests, using a power monitor plug, the average power usage in watts during regular operation ranges between 8.30-21W (Peak). Because results may be inconclusive and taken based on “manual” eyesight meter readings, Please accept our results as a general reference with a pinch of salt.

Power Supply

MeLE company wisely included an interchangeable 12V 2A power adapter designed for traveling with supports 100-240V A.C., making the Quiter HD3Q a fully portable device used in different countries. For example, you can switch between other adaptors when traveling to the U.K. or the U.S. by replacing the pin types according to the power socket type.

Connectivity

The Quieter HD3Q hardware integrates intel’s AX201 chip which supports the latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) standard. It improves the user’s experience by providing a wider bandwidth and enhanced throughput internet download speeds. It dramatically helps streaming video/audio and improves the gaming experience with faster response time. You also got Bluetooth 5.2 and a 1GbE LAN port for a wired network connection.

In our tests, we got a respectful WiFi connection with an average throughput speed of 500-700Mbps with our 1Gbps fiber optic connection at a distance of 4-5 meters. To use WiFi 6, you need to buy the proper equipment. In our case, we used the Redmi AX5400, which offers excellent signal coverage.


Final verdict

Open-source hobbyists would probably love to know that Ubuntu Linux also worked well for us. Other distributions should also run on the device but need more extensive checking. Please remember that this product isn’t gaming-friendly nor designed for gamers, so it’s less suitable for running graphically demanding games and more for desktop computer everyday work.

If you are looking for a compact, low-power Mini PC to work as a desktop computer replacement to run Microsoft’s Office suite, surf the internet, Youtube, Netflix, video conferencing, or study, then the MeLE Quiter HD3Q is a perfect choice. We immensely enjoyed using the product. Our user experience was nothing but good and very similar to using a full-size desktop PC.

Accessibility Statement

  • www.androidpimp.com
  • October 7, 2025

Compliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

  1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

    These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

  2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

  • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
  • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
  • Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
  • ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
  • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
  • Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

  1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
  2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
  3. Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
  4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
  5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
  6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
  7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Browser and assistive technology compatibility

We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
