-I got this just to run my media server since the raspberry pi wasnt cutting it for video encoding, I was assuming Id just run a headless gentoo installation and keep things minimal. The CPU is a beast! I got the most bloated arch hyprland setup (Ml4w) and it runs beautifully with a containerized media server (Jellyfin, Prowlarr, Jackett, multiple Usenets and NZB indexers + tailscale webapp hosting so my family can add stuff remotely) and it honestly has plenty of room to spare! I only put 16 GB of DDR5 ram in it as well. -The build quality is astoundingly good, I literally found this machine by searching for cheapest Chinesium barebones pc made of bamboo. But the thing is metal, feels s o l i d, has good airflow, and the internals are well seated. -Very good engineering/design, the 1st ssd slot is slightly raised as to not touch the control module battery. That sounds small but its a chefs kiss when so many builds have irreconcilable placement issues


- Runs games and other CPU intensive programs really well - Fits 2x NVME M.2 drives even with - With the right case it fits a full size GPU (RTX 3090 Ti pictured) - Sips power due to being a mobile CPU especially at idle - Compact complete package without any CPU setup needed

Very fast and quiet, easy to setup. Plugged in all peripherals everything works.



Item arrived with all the selected hardware installed with Windows 11 pre-installed. It has a very small footprint that could be easily hidden or mounted behind a monitor if one desired. All hardware is opensource compatible.



installed a few different versions of linux. stayed with linux mint. been ruuning beautifully replaced nvme with a 2tb and filled the second slot with a same brand/size

Fast Easy Build Temps are Good


No bloat, No Spyware, Quiet, stays cool, Windows 11 installed

For the price, this is a steal. It's fast, has good graphics for basic gaming.

so far plays no matter what i throw at it


-Much smaller than a built computer, and smaller than a laptop! -The cpu runs 4.0ghz on all cores, impressive for a mobile CPU -GPU runs significantly well on linux for all applications. Light-mid gaming. Some games are not really possible due to the fact that it is not a discrete card. But you are getting the best performance from this little computer. -Great BIOS. You can make settings changes better than some of the other motherboard companies. I specifically like the fact that you can change the power draw that that it can pull (choose 54 watts if you want maximum performance! I promise it is worth it!) -RJ45 port (ethernet) runs as well as can be expected. -HDMI port, and 2 USB-C (with a 40gbps port and PID-in [if you want to power a display this way]) are very good additions. As well you do get 4 USB 3.1 ports. -The internal cooling is top notch! Airflow beats even that of laptops
