I don't generally write reviews (even though I often rely on them) - however, I picked this up on a lightning deal after briefly skimming the product page and looking at some high level specs as a replacement computer for my father. In the process of getting it set up for him, I realized what an absolute pile of very specific features come with the UM760 that (while mostly listed on the product page) were a very pleasant surprise at every turn to me (the ignorant buyer). - The Ryzen 5 7640HS comes with an NPU for AI related tasks - not important to me, but who knows if that could be useful in the future. - The 760M graphics chipset is no slouch, nice to have the AMD APU to lean on here at this price. - There are 2 SODIMM slots, and only one is taken up by a 16GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM - expandable with decent RAM without scrapping what comes with it. - There are 2 NVME drive slots, and only one is taken up by a 1TB SSD. This and the RAM slot make it VERY easy to double your capacities (or more) without being wasteful. - A 2.5GBe Ethernet Port! Nice! - HDMI 2.1 port - and it SHOULD be, but it's harder to come by than it should be. - An overly magical USB 4 port. Current and backwards thunderbolt compatible, with a special trick of accepting PD IN. This is in the picture on the product page (a giant frosted PD IN on the desk), I did not see it. I did not realize it until i unplugged the power cord and realized my TB3 dock was powering the machine. - Comes with Windows 11 Pro. It could have been Home, but they did it right and shipped it with Pro. Absolutely appreciated. I honestly couldn't come up with any cons for this machine, but that may change in time. It was honestly a refreshing experience to be pleasantly surprised by more and more thoughtful features and functionality all packed into this relatively inexpensive device, and knowing there's EASY expandability down the road. My father won't be taking advantage of all that this machine has to offer, but I find this machine as it is a steal at the $327 I snagged it for, and would likely purchase another at the regular $429 price, given the outstanding feature set available at this price point. Disclaimer: I'm absolutely in the honeymoon phase right now, and very much doe eyed over tech specs. Don't use this review as a long-term reliability decision. But if thoughtful features in a thoughtfully priced package matter to you, give this a go.

Unfortunately stop working. I have returned it. But it was great

I am writing a review for the UM760 Slim, 16gb version. I bought this to primarily be a Moonlight streaming client. For the most part this does everything extremely well in that regard. I couldn't figure out 4k/120, but 4k/60 worked perfectly. Well aside from some tinkering that's inherent to streaming itself. The hardware is fantastic in terms of options for connections and output, and a 2.5gb lan port is awesome. I also love the compact size of the device, it's rather discrete. In terms of out-of-the-box install and experience, I had totally forgotten how bad Windows 11 is to install. I felt like I was being constantly solicited. It contrasts the experience of a clean install using a Rufus written install from Windows ISO itself. It was significantly faster to install than the version packaged with the pc. Most of the software experience is faults I have with Windows, so I won't hammer on that. What really stinks is that this only ships with 1x16gb stick of RAM, when I had thought that it would be 2x8gb. Older reviews say it came with 2x8gb and the marketing isn't clear as to what they're using. It would be better to be transparent and have 1x16gb in the details. Having dual-channel RAM provides a significant performance boost and increase in smoothness in a PC where RAM is shared between GPU and CPU. The UM760 would often have micro-freezes, which drove me mad. I think it's a good device, but when you consider the cost of additional RAM, and the processor vs other machines like the 8745HS ones, it's worth spending a little more up front to ensure you're getting dual channel ram and a better CPU+GPU. I don't know if it's kosher to name other brands, but there are multiple 8745HS systems that come with 32gb of RAM that explicitly state it's 2x16gb, and they're not much more than this. I feel that I was misled with the RAM configuration and I am sending it back due to that and the performance issues associated with it.

Had it for around 1 month, using it every day. I'm using it as an HTPC on a 55" TV. So far, it's pretty great. Streaming is easily as good as the TV's built-in apps. Playing shows (DVD quality) from a NAS using VLC works great, too. This is all at 4K 60Hz. Played a few older pixel games and had no issues there. If you can, highly recommend getting one without a drive, then buying your own drive and using Linux. I got it with a 1TB with Win11 installed. I swapped that for a 1TB Samsung 990 Evo Plus and threw Ubuntu on it. Everything worked right away (not using BT or Wireless right now, so can't vouch for those). 1000% less hassle in setting it up, and it seems more responsive. If I ever replace my general purpose desktop, I'll definitely be considering one of these.

The PC itself has been great and performing well. My only complaint ( and why I'm docking a star ) is with the included PSU. It was injecting noise into the power circuit which was being picked up by the DAC in my TV causing audible noise from the speakers. I bought a replacement HKY 19v 120W PSU from Amazon which resolved the issue.

external 3.5mm jack is NOT AUDIO. if you want to hear anything, but a DIFFERENT COMPUTER.

Capable machine with a lot of storage and a fast processor. Useful for office tasks and light gaming with settings turned down on modern titles. Customer support was also very helpful when issues arose.

I highly recommend this. If you are looking for a decent PC that can play some games, well priced, and in a small form factor, then this is for you.
