First impressions: nicely boxed, looks a bit like a box for a beauty present.Contents: the unit (lush green), power supply, HDMI cable (nice!), VESA bracket, warranty card, and multilingual manual.Although you don't really need the manual.It is easy to open if you want to upgrade this computer, just pop the lid off. You'll see the one SO-DIMM slot,which in my case was filled with an 8 GB of SO-DIMM Lexar memory and an 256 GB m2 2280 NVME Zettastone CP200X SSD.Ethernet is a 2.5 GBit Intel I226 controller and the Wifi an Realtek 8852BE Wifi 6 PCI-E. See the photos.The BIOS is an AMI BIOS, with a date of 2024-10-10, only one and a half months old, nice!If you switch it on you're greeted with a Windows 11 Pro installation set up. You're not asked for an obligatoryMicrosoft account, which in my case suits me fine. Just follow the instructions, fill in the proper stuff (country, etc)and you end up with an activated Windows 11 Pro machine, nice!I ran the Windows updates, and that took a bit of time, but I expect the Zettastone disk is partially to blame.The performance is fine, browsing the internet, writing emails, running LibreOffice, all runs well.But as many people on the internet show, running full blown Windows games is too much for the Intel N100.Playing movies, even at 4k 60Hz should run smooth, no issues.As for the hardware, there is only one SO-DIMM slot, mine was filled with 8GB DDR4 Lexar memory.According to Intel, 16GB would be the maximum, but according to GMKtec, 32GB will work.They tested that with Crucial SO-DIMM DDR4 3200M/T memory (I asked them about this), so I guess using good memory(which Crucial is) is required. On the internet you can find plenty of people reporting that 32GB works just fine.The disk, a Zettastone CP200X 256GB disk is an NVME drive, the slot has two PCI-E lanes, so don't expect more than1100 MB/sec write speed, as I found with HD Tune Pro. I also found that between 20GB and 30GB writtenthe disk slows down to around 300 MB/sec. Could be thermal throttling or SLC cache filling up.After finishing writing at 300 MB/sec it picked up speed shortly there after, but the disk became quite hotduring continuous writing.There is another m2 slot, which can accomodate an m2 2242 SATA disk (so that's not an NVME slot!).I added a Transcend 2242 SATA drive and that ran at a constant speed of 450 MB/s write, no slowing down.The fan noise didn't bother me, with standard usage it is barely audible.All in all, a pleasant surprise. For normal work it works absolutely fine, no slowness or dropped video frames.If you want to do heavy gaming, then look elsewhere.Another use case could be a Proxmox hypervisor test machine, stick a 2 TB good brand NVME 2280 SSD in it,add 32GB of RAM, and a 256GB 2242 SATA drive. Use the SATA drive as the OS drive and the NVME drive forstoring the virtual disks and you have a nice test machine.
