Highlights
Quality
This mini pc met beyond my expectations, its super fast, and it can handle programs i use for work without having to be reset.
It amazes me how many ports can be stuffed on these little things and still be able to handle well temperature spikes during gaming.
File system errors, programs can't open, graphical sluggishness.
The machine gets wonky when emerging from a screen off condition after running hard for a while.
Price
Is a great mini pc for the money.
For the price, i this mini pc to bring valuable performance.
I brought this one for less than 400 $, it was very good.
I worked around it using a wireless wifu usb for 10$.
Shipping
Edit 2: i ran with tdp set at the stock 45w, and the boost dialed down from the as-shipped 64w to 55w.
Packaging/appearance
The box came to me clean, in its original packaging, shrink-wrapped, with a valid win11 home license and the spec i expected.
I received the computer and it was boxed really well.
Competitiveness
This kicks the throttling setpoint down from intel's 100c.
I'm looking at brands with better cooling, or just going to lesser cpu.
Of course, the 13th gen i7 is faster, and intel's new i9 but 23000 or so passmark score just blows me away for the money.

Given a heckuva powerful cpu in a small form factor thermal throttling is expected

But in this case the extra expense over say the nab7 or nab6 or un1295 is not warranted

Any sustained cpu use throttles clocks back to what heat the fans can dissipate
