Despite shipping from China, I received the unit surprisingly fast. It met my expectations completely. It is very well made, runs cool, is quiet and performs like a dream. I was surprised and happy that the 4GB DDR3L RAM came in one stick and wasn't two 2GB ones. This made doubling the RAM easy. I have also added a 4TB HDD. I installed Ubuntu-Mate and it runs great. I chose this instead of an Intel NUC due to price and I am happy with my decision.
