Saved me some headaches on the units I just got my hands on. Thanks, dude. Always nice to see what I'm dealing with before having to crack the case open.
Great video overall. I especially appreciated the subtitles and the gestures you did to point out all the important parts. I wanted to mention that, at 2:30 you had a little trouble slotting the SSD caddy into place, and this is because the black lip on the caddy should be placed on top of the silver edge of the PC’s frame. It provides a pivot point for the caddy, allowing the other side of the caddy to slot into place securely. It also keeps the caddy elevated from (and out of contact with) the board components. Ultimately you got yours in securely, but try that next time you remove the caddy and you’ll see it’s a lot easier to safely secure it like that.
Thanks for mentioning about the caddy haha. Yes that's exactly what happened! I realized that mistake while shooting my other videos afterwards on similar models. I really appreciate your comment!
@@ComputerizedCanada happy to leave a comment! It is one of those details most people wouldn’t really notice but I did because I literally just figured out the mechanism as I was working on my machine. 😎
Do you know if the expansion port supports a USB-C port? I noticed they have USB-C ports for sale online that look like they would fit into the connector on the motherboard, but I don’t know if it would have the capabilities for it to work?
I have this same model.. I'm using an HDMI to DP adapter. After the computer reboots from windows installation, the screen goes blank. Any ideas? It might be the adapter but I don't have any other ones. Thanks
I've been wondering about the design myself. It's metal box-like structure, which I assume is to act as an internal antenna for the Wi-Fi card. I do not think it has any other function. If anyone has better insights please inform.
@@ComputerizedCanada why would storage capacity be limited on a motherboard? As long as a SSD fits the technical requirements it should work, whether 1 TB, 2 TB, 4 TB, etc etc
@@bobhopper609 thanks, I got a similar mini PC from HP and placed under the table is inaudible during normal work. Only when stressed with heavy benchmark the fan produces high pitched whistling noise, but that was just a test and not what these devices are for anyway
I love how this video describes the motion for removing the cover but doesn't actually show how it's done, it cuts away LOL. Take this video down, it's terrible.
