Intel UHD Graphics
16GB DDR4 RAM
512GB Solid State Drive
SATAm.2 SSD slot.
WiFi5 + Bluetooth 4.2

1x RJ45 Ethernet port
2x USB 3.0
2x USB 2.0

I buy broken hinge laptops for media play. Usually I get 8th Gen i5 or i7 for $50 or so in Facebook and those will blow this out of the water but they aren't presentable and use more power. Luckily I have them hidden away in the closet. This is a good price though for a nice little machine you can carry with you. Why don't they add a cheap 720p cellphone LCD to this and make it a ring laptop, I don't get it.
Acemagic minipc have been reported to have malware. So better to do a fresh install and get the drivers separately.
This... providing a link is a lot more helpful than just pointing out the shortfalls

I run HA on another mini pc from this same company with the same processor and its rock solid, much better than a Raspberry Pi 4

Yes, I run a Plex server on one. Not this brand, but same chip. Works well for me.

Do you think I could run 20-30 chrome tabs of big spreadsheets with this quickly and not have problems? Or will the CPU be a bottleneck that slows everything down? We use the Google suite at work and this seems like a good choice to pair with a couple HDMI monitors.

Windows update slams nxxx chips so I wouldn't want to use it as a work machine, you need P cores for that.

Does anyone know if this will work in a 220v environment to be able to carry it along when I travel overseas. Thanks in advance.
