Best barebones option on the market in terms of price and features

Slides in and out of case without wires getting in the way. Built Deskmini in 2019 tight fit. This was smooth. Nice to have full size ram. Used amd 8600G and Corsair CMK32GX5M2B5200C40 2 sticks for total 32gb ram. Used wd SN850X 1TB. Will wait on 5gen ssd to come down in price. Wifi is still a pain to attach leads to card!!

I spent a fortune years ago building a giant Ryzen 5 PC with a huge case, fancy video card, huge power supply, and dozens of fans, then the power supply and video card finally blew. I replaced it with this unit, and couldn't be more pleased. Heine site is usually 20/20, this little thing preforms better than the monster did at a tenth of the price. Linux Mint setup was a picnic, this puppy is stronger than Granny's tonic for the money.

Feels very "snappy" in use Window 11 Pro Dual channel ram Nice clean installation No dorky RGB and a nice "case" for an office Nicely laid out with ports in the back to keep the desk clean


Great little pc. Small, easy to transport. Power of a desktop, convenience of a laptop. Configuration 96GB ram 4TB SSD


Working as advertised

For what you get for the price, this is a nice mini Barebone once you decide what the stuffing is going to be. It says nowhere that it comes with a wifi card (only in reviews), but mine did, but no one is buying the (optional) wifi 5 card when you can get the latest 6 card for $22, so why not throw in the ac card to move slow moving EOL stock. If you don't get one, you lost the lottery, sorry. Drivers in the BIOS to load to get the Lan, sound and wifi going, nice. The 1.4 BIOS added some missing needs, had to Flash The MB isn't a $200 B550 board, but still loaded and OC options She's tight, but workable. XMP works, 3600 no prob, wonder if she'll do 4400? This is a budget board.? Lotta I/O Takes a short 2 slot GPU Room for some SATAs

- High end processor for laptop standards - So small it's basically an enclosure for the processor - Upgradable to 64Gb and has two nvme slots - Decent internal GPU (Radeon 780M) and it can borrow system RAM up to 16GB - Good thermals (uses liquid metal on the CPU). The nvme drives have their own thermal pads and fan.

Windows 11 Pro preinstalled. No bloatware; just a nice clean Windows install. Everything is as described. 2 USB4 ports, one in front, one in back. 1 HDMI. 1 DisplayPort. 4K @ 60 Hz monitors attached and working well. This PC is more quiet than my laptop. You almost can't hear it. I was planning to change power settings in the BIOS to run in Quiet mode, but it is so quiet, I don't think I will do that. I love how small this computer is. I plan to add a 3rd monitor using a USB4 C to DisplayPort cable.




Came bundled with separate RAM stick and M.2. Slid in RAM. Pushed down to click. Slid in M.2, pushed down and turned blue tab to click. Barebones, so I installed from an Ubuntu bootable USB. Quiet. Ipex-llm runs ca. 2023 models around 7B parameters. Couldn't get newer llama.cpp to run with xpu.
