Combined with the technical media, The Verge, the product's appearance design is somewhat similar to the Xbox Series X, but using aluminum body, the entire shell will also function as a radiator, with a heat design power (TDP) of 100 W.
In terms of specifications, this product is equipped with a 128-GB unified memory, with 1 PFLOPS (IT House Note: Peta FLOPS, billions of floats) AI performance, which allows local run of a large-language model of up to 120 billion parameters, which optimizes work on AI reasoning, etc.
For software, the product pre-assembles development environments such as VS Code, defaults to enable dark mode, simplify taskbar layout, remove Wedgets group, defaults to " Do Not Disturb " , developer mode, default command line environment is PowerShell 7.
Microsoft indicated that these adjustments would allow major developers to access an “open-in-box” working environment, without taking time to configure the system to begin work immediately.

However, owing to problems such as the quality of hardware, he eventually cut the project off.
