Came back for an update, just to share some experiences (no pictures, sorry!). I have kept all of the hardware, except for the processor, which I’ve upgraded to the 7700T. There’s no increased heat output from the 7700T over the 6700T, however I’ll admit other than personal internet points, there’s very little performance difference between the two processors. If you’re still on Skylake and only jumping up to Kaby Lake on the T-series, just stay put!Thermals on the S4 Mini Classic are still as good as they were with the 6700T, and I’ll admit that this produces a LOT less noise than my gaming laptop (Alienware 13R3). Full load on this S4 build is quieter than using Google Chrome on the AW 13R3! The next thing that I’m looking for out of the S4 Mini Classic package is a quality portable monitor that I can use for gaming, preferably powered via USB and accepting DisplayPort... oh, and maybe an Intel 9260 for increased wireless performance!
