So much power in such a small space

I remember the old days when I bought a huge beige tower case for my Cyrix 486DX with its 33MHz, whopping 16MB RAM and 640MB hard drive had. It's amazing how technology has changed! I can have a modern PC with pretty decent specs and even upgradability in a palm-sized device. I'm amazed at the power of this thing; It comes with Windows 10 Home Edition and runs pretty smoothly. The Celeron N3450 handles all the basic tasks well, with 8GB of DDR4 RAM and a 128m2 SATA SSD. I decided to remove the cover to see what it looks like inside (see picture) and was surprised to find another m.2 PCIE X2 connector on it! And it also has a full-size SATA connector for 2.5" HDD/SSD, as is usually possible with such a small footprint, which can also drive 2 displays via HDMI ports. This thing will handle any basic task you throw at it, ideal for working with an office suite and browsing the web. Etc. It has a 3.5mm headphone jack, 4 USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, AC WIFI, MicroSD card input. For the price I think it's a bargain, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a super small PC.

Pros
  • Not just useful for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Expensive
