Highlights
Quality
Great quality device so far, tested with win11, debian 12, ubuntu 23.
Feels sturdy when held, no bending or squeaking.
Stress testing the computer results in a very soft fan-humming sound from about 2 feet away, barely audible.
If you're looking for a good solid pc that is expandable and is plug and play, look no further and hit the buy now button.
Price
The computer is performing beyond my expectation for the price.
I found this nuc at a great price point and with plenty of ram and ssd space.
I snagged it for $339 after a $110 coupon off.
I got it with a 200 dollar discount.

Setup was quite easy packaging was great.
Lots of power in very small package.

It wasn't like buying an acer or dell that have far too many junk apps.
The gmktec did cost more than the bosgame i purchased 13 months ago, but it was worth it.
