At the discount price, it would be more than fine.
Does it have the ASUS ECBD2 on the board (that would be OEM for industrial use? ), connectors for COM1(brought out), COM2, LPT, COMDB1, normal 4 SATA sockets, WiFi connectors brought out + external antenna, RAM 4x slot, SD and estimated PCMCIA card reader, according to the table.
DVD notebook, upright HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GUE1N (AS01), 1 HDD position 3.5" screwless mounting.
The RAM chips Hynix, 512GB NVMe Micron_2400_MTFDKBA512QFM (V3MA003), the length I do not know because at first glance you can not see it. But there is still a second slot available for NVMe 2280, but the screw is not there. There's room for a possible heatsink, but the CPU cooler is right next to it, so hopefully it will fit.
Raptor Lake. one can only hope that it does not oxidize and that the BIOS 304 has already correctly set the power supply in turbo mode. Just to be safe, I've relisted him for the last 307 for now and may run out of some more in late August/September.
Although Intel will push the microcode to the CPU via the operating system, after boot, but if it's already in the BIOS at boot, I'd prefer it.
I'll also explore the possibility of trading for Alder Lake if worse comes to worst.
Cabinet cooling. The sidewall is perforated a lot, so I'll remove the rear exhaust fan for the canard. For CPU temperature control. It blows through the perforated sheet metal and the noise level looks like it. The CPU has a total temperature of 33 °C on Chrome, and if I want something it is 39-41 °C and the kernel flies out, on load testing with normal programs at 47 °C.
I measured the power consumption by calculating from the values of a digital voltmeter, I don't have a wattmeter, but in this power band I used to check it with a wattmeter and the deviation of the calculation from the measurement was max. 4W to the minus side of the calculation.
I measure it together with a 24" monitor and Iron Wolf 1TB, Linux.
Off 35W, normal stationery average 47-53W, ZIP 101W, other little used 60-75W medium or max. power input. Shul nul with old Haswell i5 TDP 35W.
For home use, with the equipment and 16 GB of RAM, expandability, nothing can surprise. Especially not for playing more demanding games. With an i3 and a PICO power supply, I don't think anyone would think of it, even if it has a slot for external graphics.
