This is the kind of product that makes me smile. It’s a modern PC that is quite powerful for the size, but it gets me right in the feels because of its classic design inspired by a piece of tech that influence me so much.

The AM-02 is a Mini PC capable of running the latest games, and it even has USB-4 ports. It comes with Windows 11 Home Edition preinstalls but it also supports Linux distros if you prefer to make a development machine out of it.

The very gadgety thing this PC has is a touch screen on the top that allows you to do various actions like start a program, control the volume or even view the FPS of the game you are currently playing. It has active and passive cooling to chill its internal since it does not cheap out on the components.
