I agree this looks really good and so much cheaper than Intel's NUCs. Would make a great HTPC.

A good product almost a laptop in a cube and with RDNA 3 with which you can take it and play in any house of your friends.
Very good features.

I'd like to know the the wired and WiFi NIC brands.

Looking at the site and around the net, it's hard to find reviews of any new PCs, and driver updates are on Google Drive which I find a bit sketchy.

Considering Minisforum has their UM790 barebone in the same ballpark Z($519 BB), and the Beelink GTR 7 (32GB/1TB) can be had for around $800, I find this a hard sell when there are less sketchy companies selling competing products.

Your money, your risk though. Could be gold, could be a lemon. I'd wait until it hits Amazon or Newegg before trying a company this unknown.  YMMV.

Good luck to those who try it, and I hope it works out well for you!
