Price

    I don’t game i’m a linux guy and i’ll leave it at that but anyone on the right side of that field knows that work never ends and i see 700 standup machines by dell or whoever at walmart and target whose specs can’t touch this things and it amazes me

    Because of the nature of my work i’ve had to hard reset this guy at least 15 times


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
