Even the best buy sale is half decent

Any idea what the internals are?
Can you fit a gpu in here, and what's the memory situation?

PCMag has a review of the previous generation TC-885-UA92 which my best guess would say is extremely similar. The case and power supply are probably identical or near-identical, while the motherboard is probably different but close in design. There's a few pictures showing the internals to give you an idea of the size and expansion options. You should be able to fit a midrange graphics card as well as a replacement power supply in there, but don't expect to fit the larger/longer high end graphics cards and power supplies in there as space is limited. Can't comment on the memory, but seeing as the TC-885-UA92 only had two RAM slots and probably had 4GB+8GB installed, I'd imagine the TC-895-UA92 has the same setup.

Have a look on youtube, there's a few videos of people upgrading the TC-885 such as this one so that should show you all you want to know.

The PSU has a very special 6pin for the motherboard.
Diy connector wil be needed if you want to change the psu.

Way better deal then the $499 Acer Best Buy one a few months ago and ready right out of the box

But it shows you the insane value of the Series X and PS5 Digital

Nice find. OP should modify post title to reflect the fact that this is a Prime-only deal.

I wonder if there any any free SATA ports?
The description says "RAM Maximum Size: 32 GB" so I'm guessing this is upgradeable.
This also has Wi-Fi 6 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.1 which is equal to Intel Z-series motherboards.
The case dimensions are mini-ITX size. I'm thinking of pulling the SSDs from my current desktop PC and putting them in this if there are any free SATA ports. Then make this into an HTPC.

Note that the video here shows a Samsung 870 EVO SSD inside.You can also see that the RAM appears to be regular DIMMs.

$479 for the i3 10100 cpu on this which is good enough for most people. i3 10100 is a quad core (no big deal) but it does have hyper threading.

Exactly this. Another difference is that it has 8 GB memory instead of 12 GB in i5 config but it can be upgraded. Got i3 for kid's school.

The BB one is better if you intend to upgrade with a video card. It has a 500W power supply vs a 300W one for the Amazon one. The Amazon one is a better deal if you don't intend to upgrade.

How so? The 300w makes no difference unless you're planning on trying to install a discreet graphics card which is unlikely for most. The Bestbuy one had a traditional hard drive vs this one having an ssd so the Amazon one is a better machine without a doubt.

But this one is $90 more (than the deal that admittedly no longer exists) which comfortably gets you a 500GB NVMe drive, so for the same price you would get the 500w power supply as well as the extra HDD for use as a data drive - though I agree if you're uncomfortable ever opening the case up, this machine is usable out of the box (whereas the one with only the HDD is borderline not).

Is the installed RAM on this a single 8 GB, or 2x4 GB?
