I bought this mini pic in January, and it was 6% cheaper after current coupon applied. That's pretty high inflation in 4 months, and wonder if its due to tariffs.That said, after 4 months of use, I could not be happier with it. It is my first mini-pc and works flawlessly. I did have some trouble initially connecting bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and needed wired versions to setup the bluetooth (unable to point/click/key without the wired version).I bought it primarily for the value and the pre-installed Ubuntu, for programming work.(Unrelated to the Mini PC - if you do everything online I recommend dumping Windows and getting an Ubuntu system - the GUI is as good and the performance is much better.)This unit is fast, quiet, portable and compared to similar specs for larger computers or laptops, incredibly high value.You will need your own screen & keyboard/mouse but if you're like me, you already have plenty lying around.

[Updated: After using this for a couple of weeks, I'm still happy. But, the modest lagginess is a bit more noticeable. If you're one of those people whose blood pressure rises when the driver in front of you is doing 55mph and you want to do 57, you probably should buy a beefier box.You can reduce this effect by using a browser that lets you disable JavaScript on various sites. A lot of this is crap that slows down your machine but produces no value (for you).]My version has Ubuntu (Linux), 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. There are other sizes, and I think you can get it with MS Windows for about $30 extra. I think I paid about $170.The storage is NVMe and quite fast. I haven't benchmarked it, but the RAM seems fast as well. Probably the Celeron CPU is the choke point--four cores and not too fast. It's fine for run of the mill web browsing, and things like videos seem to work without stutter. If you're running a fat web app with lots of JavaScript, it might seem noticeably slow. Probably wouldn't be good for intensive gaming or image/video processing work.The form factor is very nice. There's a fan on the bottom, and it does make an audible sound in a quiet room. Probably similar to some laptops you've used. If there was other background noise, I'm not sure you'd hear it at all. (If you have noise-cancelling headphones, they kill the fan sound entirely.) The fan doesn't seem to be software-controllable.It's delivered with a recent LTS Ubuntu install, ready to set up. If you're paranoid, or just want the latest non-LTS version, it's an easy install from a flash drive. I haven't noticed any odd drivers being needed or anything like that. It's all Intel, aside from the ethernet chip, which is Realtek.Overall, I love it. If you're going to be disappointed by a lack of "snap" under heavier workloads, you might want to be with a more expensive CPU. (Generally, using MS Windows would require more CPU, versus Linux, so take that into account.)

The one with the Ryzen 7 5700U is amazing. Great Linux support, Ubuntu seemed to run fine but I removed it in favor of Gentoo. Had some troubles getting GRUB installed because the motherboard doesn't seem to support EFI variables, but installing grub with the removable option to /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi worked. Compiles very well with 16 threads, and the 32gb model I got is very stable at -j16 jobs. Would highly recommend to anyone, as it was only like $377 and delivers compilation power comparable to my $1.4k r9 laptop, especially if you're in the professional/softdev sector and don't need a dGPU.

Things I like: *very* compact and lightweight, has Linux preinstalled, reasonably snappy, has all the ports I would want and need. I recommend this computer for anybody looking for a mini-PC with Linux already installed. If you like Ubuntu and have no need to install some other distro, this computer will probably suit your needs very well.The reason for being only four stars: if you want to install a different Linux distro, installation of the bootloader will (probably) fail because the BIOS has a quirky implementation of UEFI, and will only boot a bootloader that is specifically named. Assuming your EFI directory is /boot/efi (which is a common default), make sure that your bootloader's .efi file (whether you use GRUB, rEFInd, eLilo or something else) is named /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

Nice machine but made a quiet high pitch that set my ears ringing. Returned.
