Errors in spec sheet and instruction guide, tools-less design, that needs tools, tempered glass panel, that isn't glass, proprietary hardware, slow laptop RAM, CPU that runs 1.3GHz below spec, loud/annoying sound, bloatware.
Good packaging though.
What's the point of underclocking the CPU?
Usually heat management (which means they probably didn't install sufficient cooling).
Weirdly the temps were good, with like 20c headroom. Steve speculated it might be the VRM. It's a weird custom mainboard with laptop RAM, but normal, socketable desktop CPU.
