  Not much. 😀

  I prefer something with more options for adding PICE cards (graphics cards /raid controllers/etc). Need ability to add lots of ram (48GB).
  Its just to limited in its expandability for my work flows and projects.
  More interested in desktop workstations.

  Actually, this is pretty lame. Only a 4 core proc? We have 6 and 8 cores to choose from, why do this? 1 drive? This all equals = Fail.

  I’d be a little concerned about the processor ceiling as they aren’t very well suited for tough camera codecs. I don’t see any real connectivity for external storage other than USB or LAN.

  The small power supply, RAM speed, and use of mobile Quadro cards definitely would make it a laptop alternative, but as a base workstation, I think that most would become dissatisfied with the limitations before long.
