The smallest heavyweight (X1-255 barebone)
This thing is way faster than it seems like it should be. It boots fast, loads applications fast, downloads/uploads fast, and all while being ridiculously quiet! The fans only come on if you open 50+ tabs at once or launch a game. That being said, expecting this to run games regularly or perfectly will be disappointing. It's a laptop chipset, but it handles itself well with low FPS or less intense games, albeit, more loudly. This thing does get its full potential from NVMe drives, using the WD SN7100 in mine. The chassis is the perfect size and was easy to open to install my RAM and drive. The UMA dedicated RAM can be adjusted up to 8GB. Wake on LAN works great! Did not test the software RAID but the docs claim it is supported. Windows 10 does run on it, just requires a little more effort to get the drivers working. Never got the WLAN working but wireless will not be used in my setup. Well worth the money, but after bad luck with some of these mini PCs I definitely recommend the 3 year ext warranty.

Quiet and Powerful for hosting Virtual Machines. Very reliable so far.
It has worked well for me so far. I am running Proxmox 9 on it for running Virtual Machines. I purchased the Barebones model, added 96 GB of Crucial RAM, and a couple of NVME drives. I have it in my office that I use daily for work and it has been very quiet. Hopefully it continues to work this way in the years to come.

Very fast and quiet mini-PC very cheap
These AMD powered mini PCs are great. They just work, have a fast and powerful CPU, have decent integrated graphics and are extremely quiet and efficient. Perfect for just getting work done.

Works as a VM server, iGPU can encode AV1 and be passed to a container, USBc ports are thunderbolt.
First impression - Bought it as a mini VM server, and it works perfectly. Much better than expected. CPU - for a Mini the CPU is incredibly fast. GPU - I did not get this for gaming, and from the linux side of things - the GPU worked perfectly for tasks such as encoding/decoding. Out of the box it saw the /dev/dri/renderD128 and was able to pass it to containers without issues. You of course need to get some packages in place to use it for certain things, but there were no issues with encoding. Does everything up to AV1 with no issue. Connectivity - It would have been nice to have a second NIC, but the good thing is I guess, the 2 USBc ports are Thunderbot capable, and I was able to even use them with an eGPU and do full passthrough to a VM with reasonably minimal headaches. I have not even touched the oculink yet, the enclosures are mostly pretty terrible, but I have no doubts it work as expected. NIC - with a proper setup using this as a server on a Stick works fine. But as I said, having a second NIC would be nice, but hey, have thunderbolt if I really need something. Noise - I run it on silent mode, and sitting right next to it (About 2 feet), it is normally unnoticeable. Every so often I think I can hear the fan spinning up a bit. We will see how it works over time, but so far it exceeds my expectations.

Get barebone if you want to customize larger size.
I got the barbone one. Worked great! - Love the USB 4 speed. Worked very fast with the Corsair 1TB external SSD connected to the front USB 4 port - Didn't notice any noise. - I added 32GB RAM Memory capacity and 4TB SSD in one slot that matches with its speed. They work fine. - No memory capacity issue so far. It amor plenty of expansion space for future. - Also includes oculink holder if needed that I believe consumes one of the M2 nvme slot. To add space you can connect external SSD to the USB 4 port.

Decent specs/performance and good price point
This is an overall good product. Pros: 1) Metal cases which is good for heat dissipation. 2) The fan noise is well controlled; completely acceptable. 3) Many competiors feature "Ryzen 7 H 255" CPU, while this one is "Ryzen 7 255". This "Ryzen 7 255" seems to be slightly better in terms of power comsumption and performance. 4) Price point is sweet; I was looking for a new model which has decent performance and is within reasonable price range. I think this one really does the job well. 5) 2x USB 4 ports 6) Radeon 780M can handle most of the works 7) Wifi 7, BT 5.4, 2.5 Gbps ethernet port Not so greats: 1) Ryzen 7 255 NPU is disabled. This is a kind misleading to call it AI PC. 2) Occulink would occupy one PCI-E bus 3) Would want somewhat more powerful iGPU; 780M is over 2 years old. It is still okay but would be nice to have something newer.

Nice quiet desktop replacement.
After a few months have been very happy with this no name desktop replacement. Lack of video and sound card has not been an issue for me. Very quiet, which is great for music production.

Excelente computadora ya tengo algunos meses con ella y funciona super bien con disco y ram de calidad (kingston fury y ssd kc3000) , recomiendo formatear de cero e instalar solo los drivers que Windows no reconozca.

Pc'nin içindeki ram'ler adata (cl46), SSD Kingston. Wifi çekim gücü daha iyi olabilirdi harici anteni olsaydı tabii. Onun dışında bir sıkıntısı yok. Büyük kasalara veda edebilirsiniz sayesinde. Üzerinde gelen Windows yerine hafif ve debloated bir win11 kurarsanız daha iyi olur. USB 4 portları ile monitörüme hdr 2k 185hz görüntü ve ses alabildim. web surf, casual gaming, video izleme esnasında fan sesi yok denecek kadar az. En son bios yüklü geldi bana.
