    Good machine

    Good value for money. However, it doesn't work under Linux with the current distributions (debian, ubuntu 22 and 23, mint) unless you're a big Linux guru and have installed the appropriate drivers. I was able to test it in degraded mode under Mint and appreciate its speed and the fact that it doesn't warm up despite being heavily used. It made no noise. The front cover is a bit fragile, but overall good quality. Good design for the power socket, which is clipped on so it can't be accidentally removed.

    Fast, silent machine

    Silence, phew, we dreamt about it, they did it.
    I needed an i3 with passive heat dissipation.
    Excellent performance, easy to install even if the m.2 screw was too tight, knowing that my screwdriver comes from the rc world it doesn't force, which preserved the thread, but I had to prime it with pliers. In short, I don't hold it against you.
    Be careful, there aren't many 2230 formats for ssd, especially in pci 4.0. But the market is growing fast with the arrival of steamdecks and other joys.
    Thank you Zotac.
