Quick assembly, small, inexpensive. Well thought out. Seems to work well so far for simple games like Dota 2, minecraft, etc.
Second 2.5" hard drive requires motherboard removal to screw down.
One tip that I think everyone would find useful is that the AMD Wraith cooler that comes with the 2400G just fits, without blocking access to RAM. It is much larger and a better cooler. You have to do two simple things:
1) remove clips designed to hold the Asrock cooler (4x screws)
2) remove extra superficial shroud from AMD Wraith cooler.
If you do the above, you should be able to make the AMD cooler work without too much trouble. Just screw it in where the Asrock brackets were, and gingerly slide it into place.
Great idea/form factor
Business's love the idea
VESA mounting was cool
Since its release its been constantly behind in BIOS/Firmware updates and AGESA release's from AMD.
It took multiple tickets and AMD confirming it was an issue (hint, AMD rarely confirm what AGESA resolves so if they release an update, just do it for the love of all that is sacred) for them to finally push an update for higher VRAM allocation and a small bump in AGESA which resolved some crashing experienced with office applications AS WELL.
In that regard however, that's it, nothing past that, it never got the final v1.0.0.6 of the initial Ryzen v1 AGESA release, and they have opted not to update it to the v2 family v1.2.0.7 release from AMD which would ensure Windows 11 compatibility and prevent the stutters the thing suffers from and was released by AMD specifically to encompass products like this A300
Someone did release a test BIOS which 100+ people on the SFF forums and DE forums it came from that did test (myself as well) and it was GREAT and had AMD AGESA ComboAM4v2 v1.0.0.2 and fixed nearly all my issues, yet, they didn't finish it, and refuse to fix existing issues so my business customers requested they be replaced instead of staying on BETA non Windows 11 compliant BIOS.
If you haven't purchased yet: Stay away from ASRock for these types of solutions, 15~ purchased, 2 for personal, the rest for business's, and all replaced now since ASRock refuses to update the BIOS to fix issues that have been RESOLVED by AMD in AGESA releases.
If you have purchased already, report any issues experienced and simply request they stop abandoning great hardware by updating the BIOS to the latest AMD released AGESA which is ComboAM4v2 v1.2.0.7
