    Graphics card driver problem

    It looks OK when you unpack it. It gets complicated when you start installing an OS on it.
    Nothing to do in Windows 10 (several versions tried) as in Ubuntu the screen flickers.
    Impossible to find the right graphics card driver: manufacturer's website, Intel ... None of them correct this flickering problem.
    Moreover, Gigabyte has stopped updates since version 1.0,
    I have the same problem with the Gigabyte Brix BMCE-4500C bought at the same time.

    non-fanless product and often blows

    The technical description says "Quiet operation due to fanless design" which is not the case at all.
    There is a small fan in the case and it is very often active. It is not very audible, but it is present, which is a disadvantage in my case.
    For the rest, it does its job.
    I still find it very hot compared to a Core i5-8259U based NUC. For exactly the same installation (Win 10 pro fresh install), the core i5 does not ventilate and heats little, while the N5105 present in the BRIX BMCE-5105 ventilates often and seems to heat more.

    Very happy with this solution

    Installation of Xubuntu without problems. Very smooth operation. A very good compact and economical solution for office use and photo editing.
    I have to say that I am very pleased with this product, as it is so well packaged (remarkable cardboard folding) that I did not find the manual in a fold of the cardboard!
    The description is not very clear on the possibility of putting both an SSD and a mechanical disk. It seems so but I didn't test it.

    Functional

    The design - especially the plastic cover - looks a bit cheap. The price a little less...
    The single channel memory support is a shame.
    But these few reservations aside, this barebone works quite well - with Linux fc35 - and provides a compact desktop solution at a contained price.
