great for school work

I bought this tiny computer for school work and it turned out to work better than I expected. In short: SMALL, BEAUTIFUL AND STRONG. It is very compact and portable and you can attach it to any surface. The silence is so amazing, I can hardly hear the fan noise, the cooling technology is so cool! I was most impressed by his performance. According to the specification, it should of course be powerful, but still above my expectations. It opens Microsoft Office and websites almost instantly. On this desktop I installed the huge program Solidworks. The installation file itself weighs about 15 GB. This PC is still able to open it quickly and run the software very smoothly as shown in the recorded video. The performance is much better than my laptop with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. I bet if it works that well with Solidworks it shouldn't be a problem with most games. Comparing the price of this portable PC to a laptop with similar specs and performance, this option offers better value for money. I've been using it for almost a month and I really like it. Update: I just noticed that the ethernet connection isn't working. There is no internet when the cable is connected. Worse still, this disables the Wi-Fi connection with the cable attached. I need to unplug the cable and reconnect the WiFi. contacted support and they are very slow and reluctant to resolve the issue.
