Budget another couple hundred bucks for ram and another couple hundred for ssd. F this timeline
I have the AI X1 version of this unit, and it's great for the money, but yeah, this timeline is broken.
Billionaire corporations are paying pennies on the dollar for RAM for their AI operations, while we, as smaller consumers, must pay the difference that they are failing to cover.
I was debating this, but ended up getting the x5 retro.
New to this mini PC game, you all recommend waiting a bit?
Won't help you waiting as the prices are gonna keep increasing only, for the forseeable future, due to the AI thrend. If you can wait more than a year or so, then may be but otherwise buy now and save money on memory. It's pretty high even now but going to be worse.

I assume they are good using the cooling fan from a previous laptop, but I've never actually investigated. If you're truly interested, I can run some tests.

If you have time, that would be appreciated. I have a spare SSD and 16gb ddr5 from a damaged gaming laptop. Mostly if it throttles. Thanks!

With RAM and SSD's being so damn expensive... these bare bone systems are selling for next to nothing. I am sure sales have slowed down due to the rising costs.
For this deal... just the CPU alone is like $315... you do the math.
To me, this is a serious deal if you have access to RAM and a hard drive.
