I'm glad I bought this.  It's sturdy and well made.  Everything worked well out of the box.  Except, of course, it's pre-loaded with Windows 10, which is always problematic.  In this case, it Windows 10 booted to a black screen until I connected the monitor to the VGA connection instead of the HDMI connection.  If I hadn't tried the VGA connection, I probably would have sent the unit back as defective. So, live and learn.  I installed  Linux Mint on the 256gb internal SSD in a dual boot configuration beside the Windows 10 OS that it came with.  If you're going to do this (and I highly recommend it!) then, be advised that Windows 10 doesn't shut down when you shut it down.  Instead it goes into "Hibernation" and locks it's partition and/or drive.  So the Linux installation can't proceed properly until you go into Windows and disable the hibernation 'feature'.  You do this by opening up a Windows command prompt in Administrator mode and typing in the "powercfg -h off"  command.  I hope I remembered the  command syntax correctly, if you get an error, just google it. So, anyway, it's perfectly compatible with Linux Mate 18.3.  And likely most other Linux distros as well.  Bottom line = powerful, little, well made, mini desktop computer!  I'd recommend it.
