This is really tempting. Can you upgrade the memory to 32gb?

While the op item is okay, just in case someone sees this and goes through the other refurbs, like me.
Some of this refurbished stuff like the bd790i se seems like it's close to normal price when you check Amazon history?
The refurb for the bd790i she is 349. The new BD 795i she is 389 on Amazon. I don't know if the 40 dollars is worth the refurb tag, but overall that one isn't that great of a deal.

According to perplexity it can handle up to 64gb. If I had not just paid $135 for an ace magician(outside return window) that is half the pc this one is to be a docker host I would have jumped on this.

Looks like this came out in 2023 as an update to the original um690 to add fans to the bottom for better cooling. The um690 slim is different and newer.

What's the warranty on refurbs? There are a decent number of reviews saying the computer stops working after about a year. And there are numerous YouTube videos on how to repair including one showing fixing two shorts on a um690.

The unit appears to be back in stock but at a higher price, $264 after coupon. At that price point, a refurbished Kodlix GD70 with Intel Core i7-12650H, 32GB RAM, and 512GB SSD is also available for $249: https://refurbished.minisforum.co...7538444577
