Expansion and specification checks

Limitations before buying

At a similar purchase price, compare the newer Dell 3060 too. This older platform is not the first choice for a fresh Jellyfin transcoding build.
Wi-Fi and HDMI were optional on this platform. Confirm the actual unit and included adapters before relying on wireless networking or an HDMI-only monitor.
No hands-on testing, measured power consumption or guaranteed software compatibility.
Confirm BIOS access, Ethernet support, the power adapter and your intended software before purchase.
