Size: This thing is tiny (photos below).
Performance: I installed my favorite video and RAW image processing software and put it through some quick paces. It performed very well on all tasks, navigating and rendering files and effects more rapidly than my 6 month old ThinkPad X1 Carbon with an i7-1365U processor and 32GB RAM. This is out of the box with the installed 16GB RAM. I haven't set up multiple monitors yet but am eager to see how it does.
This little desktop is cool and silent. There are benefits to small power supplies and no GPU.
Power cord is short -- about 5 feet long.
It's definitely not designed with mods in mind (but we knew that). You need to use a screwdriver to open it up.
The 3.5" SATA HD cage is very accessible and adding a one will be a piece of cake.
Upgrading RAM will be a more labor but not hard. The RAM slots are under the 3.5" drive cage, which means you have to remove the side and front panels, unplug the HD from the motherboard, unscrew the HD cage and lift it up, install the new RAM stick, and then put everything back.
This model is new so there weren't any YouTube videos I could find. Here are some photos: Image 1 [ibb.co] Image 2 [ibb.co]. The size of the HD cage should give you an idea of how small the desktop is.
EDITED: Removed the bullet about the rear audio out. I found it. :-)
HDMI Out is likely limited to 1080p max resolution is 3840x2160@60Hz (4K@60Hz);
The RAM is single stick (16GB x1);
There is one empty RAM slot (2 slots total);
There are no PCI-e expansion slots;
There is room for one extra hard drive.
This is not a 'basic' desktop unless your criteria is 'gaming GPU graphics', in which case, yes, get something else; the 260W PSU won't allow adding big PCIe GPU muscle. I see no clear way to even add PCIe cards, which is a bit of a surprise. The website makes no reference to this in the ports and slots section, and I can't find the manual.
For everyone else, this is a cheap, fully ready to go screaming fast machine with fully current CPU - at around $200 less (plus Costco returns, warranty) vs. almost anywhere else.

OR is that a different version than this model that has an expansion slot while this one does not?
BTW, my Dell XPS with an i7-920, 12GB of DDR3, SATA SSDs and a 1070 ti is still going strong! I can play Fallout 4 on high settings still! Civ 6 gets to be a dog later in the game, but still usable. I've been waiting for this thing to die for years now so I can upgrade. This thing would scream in all areas but gaming in comparison.
I wouldnt really call this a basic desktop though, 10 core i5-14400 is a lot of performance for an office PC and 1TB is a good amount of storage. I/O is very good except it could benefit from an extra HDMI port.
Literally anywhere that sells memory will sell DDR4 RAM sticks

I understand the lack of separate GPU doesn't make it good for gaming but it seems it should work for online games, no?

The absolute reliance on a 730 GPU and one friggin HDMI level port is the troll. And it is a troll.
If this had even a basic PCIe slot, it wouldn't be $415...

Either you don't actually need a powerful desktop and any $500 laptop will do, especially if you attach a keyboard and second screen. Or you need a powerful desktop and giving up PCIe Gen 5 SSDs, and any discrete graphics is a deal breaker.
You could argue that desktops are still needed for office jobs. But all of that works fine on a $200 mini PC or a 2nd Gen i5 from 2011. Once again, not a marketable audience.
Give it a 400W PSU (or make it ATX so that I can upgrade) and a full length PCIe slot and this would fly off the shelves. It also never would've ended up on sale.
