    The 1k version of this system will still be damn capable for gaming. Genuinely how many prebuilt ITX PCs will compete at that price? Also, it’s only the RAM that can’t be upgraded. They will likely sell replacement main boards in the future, the same as with the laptops. Not being able to carry over RAM is disappointing, but I’ve personally never upgraded my CPU without also upgrading my motherboard.

      …all of them? Did you look at the gaming performance? Not that impressive. My old 6800XT build will blow that thing outta the water.

      The GPU cannot be upgraded either, which is kind of a big deal

        And I can’t find a new prebuilt 6800XT at this price, much less one in an ITX case.

        That is true thought, don’t know why I didn’t process that. It’s still a solid option in my eyes for a small, fairly portable gaming pc.

          You’re not going to because this GPU is several years old. But you could easily buy it and build a used one.

          I don’t think it’s a good option and I don’t think they’ll sell many of them. But I also don’t understand this whole MiniPC craze so maybe I am just irrelevant.

            even used I only found this GPU for around d400-500. you’re gonna be skimping on other parts there, definitely won’t have the CPU power of this device.

            Mini PCs aren’t for everyone, but for people who have a reason to get them, this is great.
