Great for the price, Just good in general
Pros: - Great price. - System makes a good mobile workstation for on-the-go type needs.
Cons: - Peripheral layout may not work well with the devices you currently have, they really tried to squeeze them together as close as possible. - The amount of RAM in this system could have been better for this day and age without a significant price change.
Overall Review: - I would recommend this product for people who have a need/use of a microPC. Though I would suggest they see if a newer better version of this same model has come out first. - For this price, it is not inconceivable that I may purchase another. - Just needs a little more RAM.
Straight out of a bygone era
Pros: - The computer almost works as intended. - The hardware is of the specs quoted at the time of purchase. - Space inside the case is organized well. - The system is amazingly heavy for it's size, helping keep it stable on the desk or ground.
Cons: - The biggest issue I have with this computer is it's cooling system. Be prepared for one of the loudest computers you've heard since the days of spinning disk drives and screaming modems. And this is not hyperbole. The cooling systems that come with this computer are about on-par with the amount of noise created by the window mounted air conditioner units found in cheap motels. - The computer reboots randomly. I haven't been able to nail this one down yet, but this system will reboot randomly if left on for more than 6 or 7 hours. I've eliminated all possibilities that this is a software problem, and I don't know enough about hardware faults to diagnose the exact cause, but I have a feeling like the other issues I'm having with this computer the 'overall' cause is most likely has to do with a quality control issue. - When the system arrived there were pieces of the case physically not attached, specifically the top mesh. When I went to attach this I noticed that it's blatantly clear that the top mesh that was included with my case is not even the top mesh for this specific case, it's the top mesh for some other model entirely. Which explains why it wasn't attached at the time of shipping, but it doesn't excuse sending out an incomplete product.
Overall Review: - I would not recommend this product to anyone. - If given the choice I would probably have taken my business to another retailer based on the quality of the hardware I received. - If I could change one thing about this system it would be all components, one at a time, to figure out exactly where the ball was dropped on this one.
