I bought one, has a i5 13500H CPU though. Plenty happy with mine, although my needs are rather simple just a desktop PC for doing basic home use tasks. I like the variety of port selection which is nice. Only a couple things I would change. One is the short power cord which is much too short. I would also have the ability to cycle fan off and on since the temps don't seem to require the fan run all the time at lower speed. I would also add that the power button is a bit small especially for bigger fingers. My RAM was configured 8Gb x2 so I believe that is dual channel if not mistaken. I bought mine on a refurbished site for around $350 US. I think it was a good purchase.
