Main differences are: -
The two M.2 slots are PCIe Gen 4x4, instead of Gen 5 x4
Does not ship with Wi-Fi Antenna
The Processor is Ryzen 9 7940HX instead of Ryzen 9 7945HX. However, the difference is superficial at best. The only difference is that 7945HX has 100 MHz higher Base clock Speed (2.5 GHz) over 7940HX (2.4 GHz). Everything else, like the Cache Size, maximum Boost Clock, TDP, are same.
Now the PCIe 16x Slot is reinforced with Metal Fasteners to support bigger and
heavier cards.
The SSD cooler fan has been removed
But for being $200 cheaper than the standard BD-790i, I think that makes it a superb deal. The main thing you're loosing here is the PCIe Gen 5 SSD support but Gen 4x4 is more than enough for any current needs.
Bundles at microcenter for an Amd based cpu motherboard and 32gb of ram will be 100 dollars more. However with Asus, Msi manufacturers you will get bios updates for a while.
Remember this thing will need a case, power supply, ram, storage and possibly a gpu. At that point you may as well spec out your own itx system. CPU coolers are cheap.
Also, due to the standard mini-ITX form factor, for the rest of the components, you can simply use standard after market components like PSU, Case etc.
