Bought this exact model from Amazon maybe 1 month ago - paid $149.99 after $50 coupon.
PC itself would overheat after a few hours and shut off / restart. Ended up returning. Seems like this is regularly discounted and rarely at the full $200. I personally would not recommend and I doubt this is a PM

I believe they run two sales side by side. One with the coupon and another as a regular price drop. So coupon stacked with price drop. But they fixed this fast.

Thanks for the insight. One more reason to not buy non brand names as the QA is not good. And its a fire hazard if it doesnt auto shut off for some reason.

I recently bought the M6 and have been stress testing it. Runs REALLY hot under load but drops down after. I do question the longevity of that but don't plan on having it that stressed during daily use.

Yeah, I specialize in low-budget pcs and laptops/netbooks specifically in trying to see the functionality, mainly with respect to classic MS office programs (not apps) and gaming. These N100 series processors are essentially a step up from the old n3000 series from the netbooks of old but now on essentially an inhouse fpga at 64bit. What that means is that the device CAN run windows 11, but you certainly won't want to -Windows 10 still has discreet process handling which really maximizes these little ARMy cpus into being the best mobile processors out there, but still not truly delivering the experience. The nice thing here is that they stopped embedding the HDD and having it only be 32GB when windows 11 now takes 40gb by itself to install (in sure it's decreased since then but the last major windows 10 update nearly broke every machine it was targeting by being plainly too large to install at all). Anyway, you can get this thing running Steam and Spotify with no issue but the games themselves are generally limited to shovelware or actual implementations of older games like CnC, Warcraft¹-³, and emulation up to xbox consoles. Again, for the money you'd be better off getting a refurb laptop from Dell Outlet or something adjacent for $200 when they do their monthly clearance sale for an even better, real processor and an attached battery, screen, and keyboard. And yes, same advice for anyone trying to run this headless because have you ever used a computer? I wish there were an easier way to navigate my own post history because back when I started this account it was specifically to comment about the gaming faculties of one of those old dell n3050 2-in1s 😆
