This little machine is a beast with 4 cores, 8 threads all fitted in the same a size as an English sandwich with lots of cheese and ham. I installed 16GB of DDR4 and the new Samsung NVMe 500GB SDD and it's impressive. Built it in 10 minutes and installed Windows 10 Pro without any issues. I am using it for a course in Linux and runs two virtual Redhat linux servers without any issues. Amazing piece of equipment. The only problem is the fan noise which is quite high pitched, but you get used to it.
