Mini PCs are the perfect way to tinker around and use as a lab/experiental PC. I think the AMR5 is the perfect price/performance/size ratio for it too. Highly recommended!

now this is how you do a stress test the ones i’ve seen before try the most low requirement games but you have showed games from some of the newest to oldest as to show the full capabilities of the mini pc

Maybe an Idea would be to create a Shortcut folder for these commands which you can copy and paste into console?

So, I could install a second 1TBB NVME, set it up with LVM and have a 1.5TB volume... Interested... Or, I could set up the 512GB drive with the system and put the home directory on the 1TB drive... hmmm.... I'm liking this price point...

To be frank I think the extra M.2 slot and possibility to upgrade RAM is really good value at this price.

Buyer beware I bought one and it was faulty tryed to RMA it and ace wouldn't honor the warranty I tryed calling them and emailing them and nothing

Promo code doesn't work for the US store, also US version links to device with 5700u which is 8mb cache and lesser graphic card rather than 5800u, I'm wondering how noticeable the difference would be in performance.
