I love these compact systems and Intel is a brand I could trust for reliability. The i7 is fast enough for my usage. I loaded this up with 16Gb of RAM, a 250GB m.2 SSD, plus a 1TB SATA SSD. This thing flies. Boots Win 10 in 5 seconds.Only minor annoyance is that it's hard to disconnect the cable when trying to disassemble. I gave up and worked my way around the SATA / Power attachment to the base. This is to install the RAM and m.2 SSD.
