It’s sturdy and has really good performance

At minimum the memory should be upgraded to really make this a great machine, the cheapest upgrade is a single 4GB DDR4-2400 memory stick that would double the memory and enable dial channel operation for a nice performance boost

This is a decent price and has good performance

The zippy performance is more thanks to the SSD Hard Drive than the RAM

It works great with Linux as long as you stick with the latest kernels, the stock Debian/buster 4.19 kernel had some issues, but it works perfectly with the 5.2 kernel
