Thanks for the review. Have the 7840U in my Framework laptop and the results match up nicely to yours. For most people this is more than enough performance.

In testing this, it works well, however, similar to the Geekom 4x4 machines, they can be very loud. If you are working with this on desk nearby, it can be quite distracting while the fan goes up and down in speed. In comparison the HP products tested G800's, there is really no discernable noise at all. Albeit, prices are higher and capabilities not quite equal to these units.
