Pros & Cons
Pros
Really great performance in a sleek little package. It keeps cool and quiet. Tb ssd for data-backup, this unit is very compact.
As expected, it runs fast and smoothly. It's very zippy and feels powerful. This little unit packs a punch.
I was sceptical, however, it's a great little unit. My only gripe with this purchase is that the day after i purchased the unit i saw the ser6 for the same price. In all honesty both have excellent value for the dollar.
Cons
I implore don't buy it. On the packaging, it tells me specifically, if i want to use the pc for personal use, don't connect to the wifi.

I paid about $1,000 dollars 7 years ago for a lap top and it looked like i would pay the same or a little more for a new one.
I came across the beelink ser5 on amazon for about $519 (it is now $479).
