If anyone wants to try this with a (mini) PC without an OCuLink port, but with a spare M.2 slot, you can try looking for an adapter like a "F4C". This converts an M.2 slot, which is really a PCIe x4 slot, into an OCuLink port.
(I believe the BK7, F9G, and F4C are all made by the manufacturer "ADT". But you'll find a lot if listings on places like Amazon and AliExpress just list the model name. So just search for those.)
In reality, study after study shows that consumers in the receiving country bear most of the cost. According to Amiti et al. (2020) and Fajgelbaum et al. (2020), U.S. consumers absorbed nearly 100% of the cost of the tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war under Trump's first administration. Feng, Han, and Li (2023) found U.S. importers bore 93% of U.S.-imposed tariffs. The numbers are remarkably consistent across time and geography: under normal conditions, consumers absorb between 60% and 90% of the cost. That's the economic consensus, not a debate.

Awesome thanks, just what I was looking for. It's tricky cause there's two 32gb variants at similar price, for those interested make sure you go for the 6850H one and not the 6600H!
The reason I would like to see Oculink is one speed, USB's overhead will slow down a drive once you have multiple drives. Even worse if you're transferring from one drive in the DAS to another. Secondly, Oculink should be as stable as an internal pcie connection.
Edit - Another clean install seems to have fixed with the issue.. Could Open Shell have caused the issue? I did a system restore, though.

These mini PCs don't come with built-in speakers, so I connect it to a Bluetooth speaker for audio. There's also an earphone outlet.
While the integrated GPU (Radeon 680M) is very good, it's still inferior to the entry-level NVIDIA GTX 1650 mobile. Here's a link with some game tests on this mini PC (32GB, 1TB variant). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gpHYU5
If you need this for daily work with casual games, this mini PC is more than enough. You can always buy an external GPU later when it's necessary.
Windows 11 Pro OEM, $12 on Groupon or even cheaper on many stores.
Windows 11 Pro OEM, more than $100 on reputable sellers like Newegg, Amzon, BH&Photo. Yes, these include DVD and shipping. But DVD plus shipping is that expensive?
Also, almost all these low cost mini PCs come with Windows 11 Pro. Compared to big brand laptops like Dell, HP, their entry laptops come with Windows Home. Why would all regular consumers need Pro? And most of those shady sellers sell Pro and Home edition at the same price. Why so? I think because their cost is almost zero, likely a keygen running program. Probably the major cost is site maintenance and customer service for key activation issues.

Either way, if Microsoft says validates the key and says it's genuine, what is your concern?

No immediate concern to to a customer. The chance of Windows becomes invalid seems low. Just to express my opinion about how genuine the Windows copy is. Passing validation doesn't necessarily prove it's genuine. Microsoft had revoked Windows licenses and told users they are victims of software piracy before.
