Design
The outer shell of the device case is made from ABS plastic with a lower aluminum plate that functions like a giant heat sink, mounted on top of the PCB CPU and RAM components, and is responsible for efficiently cooling them. The lower bottom of the unit is made of aluminum, so you get a pretty solid design for the buck.
Interfaces & Storage
This small mini PC offers plenty of storage options for those concerned about running out of space. With the ability to add a Micro SD card slot separately, the storage can be expanded up to 2 TB. Additionally, there is an internal M.2 22×80 Key M Slot that can support an SSD capacity of up to 4 TB.
Size it everything
Expect the hardware specifications of the device to rival those of a high-level PC. This means you can use it as a window or Linux workstation, whether it’s placed on a small table or discreetly mounted behind a computer monitor or TV.
