Interior layout
Removing the four screws on the bottom and pulling on the small rubber handle exposes the SATA connector for 2.5″ drives.
Although this is more of an inexpensive budget unit, it has been allowed the second internal fan. I also noticed that the M.2 heatsink has been redesigned a bit. In the last review, it was still a simple plate without cooling fins, but now there is at least a rough structure for improved heat dissipation.
The SoC mainboard can be seen one layer deeper. By the way, this time it took an extra thin screwdriver to get to the screws. A no-name kit didn’t cut it, but a borrowed set of iFixIt bits was up to the task. Not that you would miss much otherwise, because with only one SODIMM slot, upgrading is then more difficult.
So, the single 16GB DDR5 stick from Crucial’s CT16G48C40S5 has to do all the work, supported by an AZW NVMe SSD. This is connected via only 1x PCIe 8.0 GT/s, but at least it is faster than SATA. Wireless connectivity is provided by an Intel AX101 hidden underneath the SSD, which supports Wi-Fi 6 but no Bluetooth.
