About this deal
The review model included a soldered-on 256 GB eMMC drive complete with Windows 11 Pro installed and an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen 3.0 SSD drive (the review model included a 512 GB Foresee drive) which is covered by a thermal pad and then a large aluminum heatsink which in turn is connected to the metal base plate by two screws. Also included is a soldered-on WiFi 6 (or 802.11ax) Intel AX201 card together with some cables to allow adding a 2.5” SATA drive: Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation Management Engine Interface [8086:4de0] (rev 01) When booting Ubuntu 22.04.1, there was the usual UEFI (BIOS) error being reported in the ‘dmesg’ that appears common with Jasper Lake mini PCs and whose significance of which has not been determined:

Features of the Mele Quieter3C mini PC
Additionally, there is soldered-on WiFi 6 (or 802.11ax) as well as the ability to add an M.2 2280 NVMe SSD drive: I used a Samsung 1TB 980 NVMe SSD in my Asus PN41 and one reason I chose that drive is that it doesn't have any DRAM cache which means it runs cooler than some other SSDs. However, the PN41 has a dedicated metal heat sink for the M.2/NVMe slot which is attached with screws to the very sturdy metal frame of the PN41 (no metal coated plastic in the PN41). That's one of the features you will get with a better built mini PC although I have no proof that such features really offer any significant advantages. But the Asus PN41 is very well built with a very good range of i/o -- five USB ports with one at 10Gb/s, one serial/com port, 2.5Gb/s ethernet, and a max memory of 32GB, dual channel, as confirmed on my system although not often listed by Asus.
