Perfect operation.

Works well, no problems after installing CORSAIR Vengeance SODIMM DDR4 8 GB 3200 MHz RAM, an ssd hard drive and OS.
very well-made mini pc, not very noisy or bulky, high-performance and well-equipped with connectors
Bought for my parents for their office computer, it doesn't take up any space, coupled with a fast SSD, the computer boots up in less than 5 seconds. Perfect for office work, internet browsing, watching videos from various sources, video calls etc... I even tested the graphics, which hold up pretty well for such a small computer (don't expect to play CyberPunk 2077 on RTX On and ULtra, of course, but for basic 3D like WebGL benchmarks etc. it holds up pretty well).
Of course, apart from the SSD and RAM, that's as far as upgradability goes, but the days of the big computer under my parents' desk, which gets kicked around, collects dust and I have to clean every 3 months, with cables hanging everywhere, are over. Now it's a 27-inch screen, this computer fixed behind it, keyboard/mouse and speakers and the desk is clean, with a minimum of cables.
All in all, I'm very happy with my purchase, it's much quicker than I thought and is more than enough for anyone who needs a computer but doesn't want to play video games.
Configuration suggested by a vendor instead of a tower.
Excellent advice.
Very satisfied with the assembly service, within a reasonable timeframe.
