While it is a barebones system, meaning you need to provide your own CPU, memory and storage, this also makes it a versatile option if you need to a system tailored to your specific needs while also maintaining a small footprint. To test the system it has been outfitted with a Ryzen 5 8600G, 32 GB of DDR5 SODIMM memory (5600 MHz), and a 1 TB M.2 NVMe SSD. While it does not have enough space for a dedicated graphics card, the Ryzen-based APU with integrated Radeon 760M graphics is adequate for the majority of today's tasks and even lightweight gaming. Overall it's an interesting bit of kit, but there is one caveat and that is the 65 watt TDP limit imposed on the processor. Furthermore, while the system can be packed with features it requires optional components. All that said, before diving in with benchmarks let's take a closer look at the system itself and how easy it may or may not be to work with.
