I was excited at first, but the price still seems a bit high for both the factory seconds displays and the performance drop from older hardware. Too bad about the lack of i5 boards, that would've probably helped.

Seems like a deal to me.

I've got a WiFi card and an 500GB NVMe both sitting in a drawer doing nothing. All I'd have to do is pick up new RAM and 4 adapters.

Would make a great little Linux laptop random web surfing, etc.

I just ordered because of this. I have extra ram and storage. I have a wifi card available but wanted the wifi 6 option available. Super excited because I've been wanting a framework for some time
