DDR4 RAM capacity is up to 32GB (there are two SO-DIMM slots). Configurations can also include an M.2 SATA SSD and a 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD. In terms of connectivity, the mini-PCs feature Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless adapters, a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet network controller, four USB 3.1 Gen 1 connectors, one USB Type-C port, two DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 2.0 video outputs, and a 3.5mm audio jack.
