Pros & Cons
Pros
The um790 pro has a 2tb external usbc ssd drive. It has an 8 core amd processor, 8 gb ddr5 and 1 tb ssd. It snaps back on. I believe minusforum could improve more and add some optional improvements on how bios updates are performed.
Cons
It contains windows 11 home version which is useless in work environment since needs to be domain join and remote logins etc. Also not smart to open casing by removing glue footings. If by tomorrow no feedback than return.
Highlights
Quality
Solid processor, enough ram, decent ssd size.
Good build quality in a solid metal case.
Please please do not buy this minipc because it is of mediocre quality.
The culprit is the power-on led light which is so piercingly bright that it is irritating.
Price
Conclusion: the money you will spend on this model for what you get, you really cannot go wrong.
Very good price for what you get.
For a $1000 cdn/taxes it's hardware is decent if you don't mind getting your hands dirty.
Shipping
I received this about 10 days ago.
