Here's the Tom's Hardware review:

I find myself wondering about this unit. Why would one want 32 gigs of RAM? (There are less costly versions down to 8 gigs of RAM).

Could this unit be a competitive gaming system? How does it keep cool? If something goes wrong is it fixable the way standard pcs can have components swapped in and out?

Is it really just a fancy higher priced laptop without a screen?

I must admit that when I look at my ATX cases something like this looks very attractive....and not too much more expensive. But I use ATX because I can't easily get my hands into smaller cases.

Just interested to see what comments people might have.

Thanks,
Greg N

32 is definitely over kill for this product. Only thing I can image actually using that much is maybe an accountant with massive excel files. Anyone else needing that much RAM would want a bigger computer so they can use a GPU or a proper heatsink to cool the CPU.
