are those single channel memory too?
According to the site linked above, yes it is...

Nice looking little mini-me boxes, but as always, anything carrying the intel "NUC" branding is always way overpriced & under-spec'd, with the prices of their base models that only gets you a paltry 8GB of that single channel ram & a measly 256GB of storage....and of course they force the obligatory W11 install on you too, with no option for an empty drive model or even W10 pre-installed, so sad :(

Yeah the single stick of ram on all the options I looked at was what made me wonder.

im Certain the pricing is correct but, if you can have double the system for half the price.
it becomes really tough to justify

Well, just over 3 years ago, I bought my i5 mini-me box for ~$200 with 2x 4GB DDR4, which I promptly sold & replaced with 2x 32GB...it also came with W10 Pro on a 512GB Gen 4 m.2, which I also sold & replaced with a 4TB WD 850X then, and more recently with an 8TB model.....(neither of which really didn't cost me much as they were left over from a bulk buy for my client rigs), and I already owned some W10 Pro keys for the OS install :)

So even with the new ram & m.2, I only spent about $300 total and haven't looked back since !

Tough for an individual to justify - but makes perfect sense for a business buying 100+ of them. You do not want to try working with those Chinese brands on any type of post-sales support. SimplyNUC is based out of Texas, so you'll have much better luck working through any issues.

They’re underselling those hard. Nice connectivity. Pricing will have to decide.
