Huh, I wonder if the overheating issues with these are easily fixed:

The bids just jumped up hugely, but, still...

No, I’m not afraid to chop holes, add heat sinking, etc. In fact, I may be doing that on wifey’s old laptop, someday. It’s a Win 10 Pro machine too, but, it’s low on the priority list, as she has a nice Chrome machine she uses a lot.

When that style of computer starts overheating, they are usually just clogged with dust bunnies. But occasionally there will be other issues that are causing problems.

Bosgame is supposedly pretty good at providing assistance. I just had a bad experience with a Beelink computer that was badly misrepresented in the ad. So, despite their popularity I am now skeptical of all of their products. Most people don’t start off by benchmarking their machines, so they are just not aware that they have a dog and leave good reviews if they can successfully use a web browser, email and retrieve their email. So, they leave good reviews for machines that do not deserve them.
