If only it could fit in a backpack, but configuring a small ITX mini-PC is quite challenging. But then again, why don't I just buy a laptop?π€£

That sounds like fun! I wish I had a new mini PC like that to play with today.

Well, it seemed that it was transported in an ice lorry, so I was letting it acclimatise to room temperature first.
And it has Windows Pro installer pre-installed, so I'll need to make an image the NVMe before I start so I don't loose the free license. Haven't yet decided whether I'll run Windows on it directly or as a VM and passthrough everything. For travelling, it'd be useful to have a couple of small Linux VMs on there that I can use without a network connection.

Friendly reminder to @fiberstate,
Hope everything is going well! Howβs the preparation for FS-A coming along?
I like these small or mini factor ones. Have one from a few years ago and runs like a champ
Plus the fact is it looks esthetically much better than the full factor towers.

Mobile CPU but it's allowed to get up to 100W, so should be pretty decent.

Aren't the licenses embedded or something these days?

Very nice!!! Pricey though

That is quite a beast
Love it.
What ya plan tp use it for?
Just tested, it fits comfortably inside my IKEA rucksack, with enough room to spare for laptop, cables for both and a jumper. I've also got a "flight-optimised" rucksack that's cuboid shaped rather than wedge shaped that has about 50% more capacity, so from that perspective this looks like a win.
Good afternoon
I shall pretend I did not miss out on $3/y
