Highlights
Quality
Build quality is much higher, product is solid, easy to open and get set up.
(i had no trouble with the mi527 before than.

It came with 4gb crucial sodimm installed, i purchased and 8gb crucial sodimm, no problem, runs great with 12mb.

I think the other issues that reviewer had were due to him trying to use a nvme m.
