Reviews consensus: This adorable little PC weighs just 2.7lbs and offers a full Windows 11 experience in a small chassis. It's affordable, with some nice RGB lighting, and while it won't play the latest AAA games at high specs, it'll give creative workloads like image or video editing a good go. This discounted model has a 512GB SSD for storage, and 16GB of RAM. It's also packing the AMD Ryzen 5 5600U chip.
