It's an very decent PC. After upgrading to 16gb RAM it handles video production software, our digital audio interface, a separate USB audio submixer, two cameras, 16 track recording software and a handful of browser tabs simultaneously across 4 monitors. Well worth the cost. As for Thickness Warmth and Sheerness? Well, it's a mini PC, so it's just the right thickness, it does have an internal fan, so the warmth is correct, and it's a sheer pleasure to have a system work just right out-of-box!
