Pros & Cons
Pros

To keep the um580 cool, it also includes a ton of various air vents located all around the unit. Ventilation exceeds expectations while running quietly.
Inch hd monitor great. Runs office 2021 and youtube videos on a 27inch hd monitor. Vesa mount to connect this to the back of a display. I believe it would blend in well at the back.
It looks small but this computer packs a punch. It's a little larger than most minis but it gives it plenty of breathing room. Thing is a beast for such a tiny build.
Highlights
Quality
There is nothing i can grumble with this product.
I suggest you upgrade the ssd either externally or internally, it comes with the space to add a secondary drive.
Update: i had a problem with the usb4 connection.
I'll update my review when i have more experience with the device.
Price
Set up was easy and a great price.
It is larger than needed but it was the right price.
Shipping
My previous system (laptop) was a 5900hx with 32gb ram, which was fast.

With this computer, the video just starts, it's like watching cable tv with no breaks in the video/audio.
Competitiveness
Added a 1tb ssd to the open 2/5 bay.
To put things in perspective, i was running a ryzen 9 3950x with a 6900xt and 64gb of ram in thermaltake tower 100 with a coole... Read More
My days of buying full-size desktops are over!
