Just got it so I will update in a few months. This unit will run 24/7 as a mini server for ads-b. Not intensive but should give an indication of reliability in a couple of months. It was easy to set up and seems to be doing fine in the few days I have had it. Update 3/11/2026 Has run 24/7 thus far without issues. paired with a 4k monitor it looks amazing. Read more
This ships with Ubuntu installed, but I was able to install Fedora 42 Workstation on it. So far no problems. Comes with virtualization and secure boot enabled in the BIOS. I've only used WiFi, not wired ethernet. That's working fine. Here are some of the hardware details that I wished I'd had before ordering: 01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

The machine form factor is excellent. It's very compact and has a quality shell. I was excited when I unpackaged the computer. However, Ubuntu froze during setup. Neither the keyboard nor the mouse would respond. I tried different peripherals and went through the setup again, but it froze at different steps each time. It once even froze when entering my password during login. I didn't try running it headless and decided not to go through safe mode to determine which driver might be causing the problem or whether it was a bad memory module. I decided to return. I run Ubuntu on other configurations just fine. Read more

If all you're doing is basic computing this is plenty of computer. It's difficult getting used to a computer that;s so small. I gave it only 4 stars because the mounting bracket wouldn't fit my monitor. I guess time will tell what kind of longevity this thing has. Read more
