There are two sizes: a \u201cshort\u201d model (1.42 inches tall) with only one M.2 drive slot, and the \u201ctall\u201d version (2 inches tall) adds a 2.5-inch drive bay for extra storage capacity. Both versions are 4.6 x 4.41 inches across.<\/p>\n<p>The base model is priced at $499, and comes with a 10th-gen Intel Core i3-10110U processor, 8 GB of RAM (single channel DDR4), a 128 GB M.2 SSD (not NVMe), and a 1-year limited parts and labor warranty.
