Small PC but Powerful!

When my big rig finally died on me after several years, I really didn't want to deal with another one. I wanted a PC that I could simply plug in and turn on. After having purchased this mini PC (1/15/2021), I held off from posting a review because I wanted to allow time to test its performance. Also, I wanted to see if it lives up to its rave reviews. And it does! I'm amazed by how much this mini PC can handle. Initially, I was worried that I would put too much pressure on it because the hardware is made to fit its size. Both GTA V and Mafia III are playable even on high settings and without lagging and the gameplay doesn't result in overheating at all. I don't really have any dislikes about this product. Overall, I'm satisfied that it exceeds my initial expectations.
