Once opened, the device reveals a large metal plate fastened with four screws, likely serving as a heat sink to help cool the system. Internally, the mini PC is powered by an impressive AMD Ryzen R9 7940HS processor and houses two 16GB Crucial DDR5-5600 (CL46) memory modules, providing robust performance capabilities. Additionally, it includes an 1TB NVMe SSD for storage, although specific details about this SSD are not provided.

Further disassembly allows access to the core of the computer—the motherboard. Here, a WiFi 6 module is installed, which supports the latest WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 technologies, enhancing the device's connectivity options. However, the exact chipset of the WiFi module is not identified, and whether it is compatible with Linux operating systems remains unclear.

Also featured on the motherboard is a Genesys Logic GL3590 USB 3.1 Gen 2 hub controller. This component is critical as it extends the number of available USB connections, significantly enhancing the mini PC's capability to handle multiple peripherals simultaneously. The SSD is a no0name OEM brand we have never heard of.
