Foregoing almost any modularity though.
-
Yeah this is a weird direction for the modular laptop company
-
I could probably overlook the RAM being soldered if they'd at least given 8 lanes on the pcie slot, but I'm guessing they were all dedicated to the igpu and m.2

“Ryzen AI MAX+”
What kind of stupid overcompensating bullshit name is that. Like come on… Was “Throbbing Artificial phallus omega ultra plus platinum” taken?
-
Then there's the Ryzen AI Max+ Pro.

The only way I can wrap my head around this is as a really expensive console, where the standard for modularity and upgradability is non-existent...
Just kinda bummed. And I adore small computers. It's a super cute device with lots of fun little details, I just don't see why go with this over a normal SFF PC for the price. Its easier? Cuter?
-
Who are they marketing this too? Seems to be too expensive for the lower end market and not powerful enough for the gaming market.
-
Yeah in my opinion they should've only released the 128gb version. Make it clear that it's a box for leveraging that fat vram, and the ram being non-upgradeable is a lot easier to forgive if you have 128gb of it.
There are cheaper, far more repairable desktops comparable to the other models. The 128gb though is in a class of its own.

Seems like it'd be a good mini PC to have in the living room or something to buy for less tech-savvy parents or kids
still pretty pricey for what it is but hopefully upgrades will make it worthwhile in the long run?
-
What upgrades would you do?
Soldered CPU/GPU, soldered RAM, X4 PCIE slot. There are no upgrades to be done.

Fluid liters?
-
Gaseous litres
-
-
I'm sorry. When the fuck did we start measuring computers with liters?
-
Common in Mini and smaller designs.
-
It's actually quite common in the SFF space. Cases are considered to be SFF if they're 8-19L, and Ultra SFF is 4-8L.
So when they say it's 4.5L, it's a tiny case.
-
It's been a stat for a while so you can gauge component space available and air volume. I moved from a 19 litre mini tower Dell case to a much larger 45.5 litre Thermal take case.
-
With metric you can easily convert it to any other measurement, it’s 4500 cubic cm.
-
And if it was full of water, that water would weigh in at 4.5kg.
