Cool Running Temperature
Some customers have reported concerns about the Mini PC's cooling system not being able to handle high temperatures effectively, leading to thermal throttling and reduced performance.

Highlights
Quality
Clean system with no bloatware, ran a full scan using avg, bitdefender, and windows defender (offline).
Videos play smoothly, and the picture quality is great.
During a simple burn-in test it hit a full 85c within about 30 seconds, the fan maxed out, and the cpu began throttling.
Confusing design - they put tape over the cpu heatsink, and on top of the case to limit airflow out of the mini-pc case.

Shipping
The mini computer works very well and fast delivery.
Packaging/appearance
The box doesn't come with a mouse or keyboard, but i just used a mouse/keyboard set and plugged in the usb receiver.
The downside is that there is a chip that came with this box and i have no idea what it is for.
Competitiveness
Overall, i think this is a great alternative to a laptop.
The intel n100 is powerful enough for things like homebridge which is what i mainly use it for.
It's worlds faster than my school district issued machines, even though the processor is a lower model than theirs, and it's very snappy.
