 There are market for these, let's not thread crap.  The only sucky point is the crappy 45 days warranty and chinese OS but if those asic are easy to replace and upgrade, this is an ultimate solution for large farms.  If I can upgrade my asic to say 490 or Fury and sell old ones to others, etc.  The former factor is also very good for heat management.  

These are mobile based GPU cards...there is almost a zero market for these, and there is no off the shelf parts that you can just buy and upgrade. This form factor is made OEM by laptop manufactures so good luck finding next gen GPU upgrades...and if you do somehow happen to find them, good luck selling your old cards aftermarket.

This has the cons of an ASIC system into a GPU system...makes no sense.

You are missing the point I am making.  The market segment for this is same as AIO or build to order PC which are higher price then build it yourself.  If you have sizeable farm like mine the time required to build it takes weeks vs a day with these plug and play to certain extent as u have to change the language.  I am saying it is a bonus on top "IF" the cards are changeable and I don't see why not if u look at their site, the gpu looks like easy to swap and as Phillip say it's like a gpu for imac.  If so why wouldn't their be a marker for them?? I can sell mine those other panda owners who have failed gpus.  If your unit is still running good, why is there no resell market for these?? It's no difference then reselling an out of warranty S7 or S9.   If it can hash and is making money people will buy.  The point I am making is that there ARE people who want this.  If you are not one of them, continue your way with what you're building now as this is a review thread on this unit not NVIDIA  or how I can build x for less, etc.
