What stands out
The combination of a 12th Gen N95 processor and a quick M.2 SSD makes this mini desktop more capable than basic nettop alternatives according to the manufacturer. It brings a practical set of ports including USB 3.2 at up to 10Gbps which speeds up backups and transfers. Note that WiFi 5 is supported rather than WiFi 6, so for the best wireless throughput a wired Gigabit connection may be preferable in demanding setups. 💡.
