Pros: Well constructed. Great feature set. Easy to add memory and drive. Windows 8.1-64 gb loaded without problems to a Samsung 850 1TB drive

Cons: Using external WD USB 3.0 drive for additional storage. Drive connects in Windows with no problem. But, when rebooting system hangs on Splash screen. Will only boot with no external drives. Have seen this problem with mother boards and can usually remedy with BIOS changes. But, not on this system. Put in support request through Gigabyte website but no response. Regrettably, I guess I'll have to return it to NewEgg.

Other Thoughts: Very disappointing, I really want to keep the device but it's not practical without support for external drives. I've done the usual things that will fix the issue to no avail. I wish there was a way to get support from Gigabyte. I've purchased many Gigabyte products with great results. But, given the lack of support I think this was my last one.

Pros: Specs are nice, particularly the discrete graphics chip and small form factor.

Cons: We bought 3 of these, and had to send 2 back. One wouldn't boot out of the box at all, the other continually crashed and eventually died.

Other Thoughts: These require low voltage memory, so do your homework. We used this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239698&cm_re=ddr3l-_-20-239-698-_-Product

Pros: I love this computer. Super Small and super strong! This is by far the best computer I have ever used. Have it with 16gb ram and 256gb msata ssd and 1.5tb. Runs everything and even GTA V maxed out. 3GB video ram wish it was 6GB

Cons: A little loud, but for the size its worth it

Pros: This is a full blown pc that needs a hard drive and ram to run.
I added an SSD and 16 gigs and this little box is quite a bit faster than my lenovo y500 laptop which isn't all that old...

Most of you will probably check this out for gaming, and I haven't tested it on that front (although youtube this model ,you'll find plenty of hands on reviews).

I bought this to use with some interactive graphics software called Touch Designer to run interactive lighting art installations autonomously and tucked away in a small enclosure.

The size is insane, so small, but you have the power brick which is decent in size but expected due to it's output.

Boots up for me in about 7-8 seconds 100%

I found some tutorials on youtube on ram / ssd installation, and it's really straight forward but worth looking at before you buy as you will need to install your hardware when you get it.

Cons: I really have no cons, but if I had to pick something - it would be the heat output.

If you're leaving this on your desk and there's nothing blocking the output vent, then you're probably in the clear and can run it to it's max.

I've heard other people say that the GPU will throttle down to a lower speed if it gets too hot so that's something to consider but I have no had any such thing happen to me yet.

Other Thoughts: Would definitely buy this again if I needed another computer like this.

I am of the belief that you will NOT find something else as capable, fast AND small anywhere else.

I looked quite a lot to find the smallest, fastest rig I could and found nothing else that could match up.
