this one has potential, but $549 is pretty steep given the other options available in the market.

@malcolm-r agreed. I think there are better options for home lab. But this little PC did surprise me a bit with the performance offered. The E-cores and P-cores are going to be roadblocks in this space a bit as well and we may be hard pressed to get some of these outfitted with Xeons. May make the sweet spot on the AMD Ryzen side for now.
