Very small footprint but it packs a punch. Ethernet connectivity is 2.5GBPS speed rated. With T-fiber 2Gig service, the Intel Core 7 240H Processor has download/upload speeds at about 1.8GBPS with VPN. HDMI 2.1 monitor connectivity renders crisp displays and video although I cannot attest to gamer quality. A DisplayPort is the other monitor connectivity option. There are 6 USB ports: 4 USB-A of which 3 are 10GBPS; and 2 USB-C ports of which one is TB4/USB4 and the other is 10GBPS. Multiple monitors can be connected. The 16GB DDR5 Ram can be upgraded to 32GB. The 512GB SSD storage is very ample for my needs as I utilize about 25% of it thus far after 2 weeks of use. Operation is completely quiet with no discernable fan noise. The external speaker jack is front loaded but doesn't look too unsightly when connected. The power cord is short so be prepared to purchase an extension cord as I did to connect to an UPS located on my home office floor. Backing up the hard drive to an external drive is a breeze via either USB-A or USB-C front loaded ports. It comes with a McAffee antivirus trial but I removed it.

Very happy with this purchase so far. It's a big step up from my i5 core 8GB RAM full size Lenovo Tower. One very minor disadvantage is the audio output port is on the front panel. It makes for a less tidy look but oh well. I would have opted for Win11 Pro too but it wasn't offered that way at my time of purchase. Really great PC though, crazy small!
