Is this good for running local AI models?

Yes for inference on small to mid-size models, thanks to 128 GB of RAM and the Ryzen AI NPU. Training large models is slow because graphics are integrated Radeon 780M, not a discrete GPU.

Does it come with Linux or Windows 11 Pro?

Both are named in the specs, which conflict. Confirm with the seller which system is preinstalled before you buy, since it changes setup and driver support.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?

The 2 TB SSD is the part most likely to be replaceable. The 128 GB of memory is probably fixed on a board this small, so treat it as the amount you will live with.

Can I play games on it?

Light and older titles run on the Radeon 780M at modest settings. Recent demanding games will struggle, so buy it for development, not gaming.

What ports does it have?

USB-C, HDMI and RJ45 wired LAN, plus Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. That covers a monitor, peripherals and a fast network connection.

How does it compare with a mini PC?

It offers far more memory and a 16-core CPU than typical mini PCs, which usually cap at 32 or 64 GB. It is larger and costs more in performance terms for gaming.
