Easy to install, doesn't take up any space as it's a small size, so it's perfect. I would recommend it without hesitation.
Very quiet PC (except when it decides it's really too hot and the fan switches to turbo-reactor mode).
Speed OK. Bios fairly average, as there aren't many settings.
The only drawback is that I couldn't fit a 4TB HDD because it was too thick.
The maximum thickness of 2.5" disks that can be installed in PCs is never indicated on the LDLC site (whether it's NUCs or others) and that's a shame.
At MSI, it says that you can put 2.5" HDDs in this PC, without restriction. However, this is not the case.
You can plug in up to 2 2.5" HDDs or SSDs and there's a little divider that acts as a shelf to make it easier to put them in place (which is no longer needed when the drive is fixed with screws). So I cut out this shelf (using a minidisk) and the space freed up allows the drive to be fitted (but not a second one, of course). You can see from the photos that the drive takes up part of the space of the second drive.
This is the reason for the lower score.
