I purchased one of these on the last sale. It's a decent little machine, currently managing an HVAC interface for a multifamily building. Of course I wiped it straight out of the box, as I do with every computer - not just the supremely cheap computers. I have also purchased over 50 of the BeeLinks, a handful of the AceMagic laptops, etc. as well as Snapdragon machines, Surfaces and just about every flavor out there. Every. Single. Computer. gets wiped, all partitions removed and a fresh current version of Windows installed. If it's a computer I haven't used before, the first thing I do is put it into sysprep/audit mode and use powershell to export the drivers to a flash drive to make reinstallation a breeze. Honestly, everyone should adopt the practice. It takes 20 minutes to do and the tools are free from Microsoft.

It's "anti-China" to not want your hardware to be preloaded with malware by the vendor? I don't get it. We're not even talking your bog-standard practice of the laptop or smartphone vendor pre-loading the device with Facebook or McAfee Antivirus--we're talking actual malware. The kind that contain keystroke loggers.

I bought the 16gb, 512gb version for $20 more. I read in the other acemagic thread that you need to fresh install windows on these because of malware.

Soldered RAM I believe. Dual NICs, likely Realteks, maybe a nice little homelab box? Realtek NICs not so well suited for a firewall/router, vs. Intel, if memory serves me correctly.

Would like to get something like this to run Kodi but no HDMI 2.1 is a tough pill to swallow.

Thanks for reminding me why I have to remember never to buy AceMagic hardware.

I don't understand how people can be like, "Oh, yeah, the vendor is consciously preloading the thing with malware, but, just wipe it and reinstall! It's good hardware for the price!"

We used to boycott laptop manufacturers for lesser offenses than that.

Running Home Assistant on this after loading Proxmox on it. Seems to be doing fine. I already have Control4 so it's not my primary controller.

I haven't looked super deep into the technical side of this. But I did hear people mention that the malware was in a hidden partition, to survive OS reinstall. So when you re installing the OS, remember to at least delete any and all partitions on the disk. There's a step in the windows installer that allows you to edit partitions.

The difference is that this hardware is unbelievably cheap. You can't even buy a legitimate copy of Windows let alone, case, cpu, ram, nvme, psu, etc for the price of these mini PCs. I'm not sure what sort of chinesium magic makes it possible but there's definitely some value here if you're willing to risk it.

Most people think it is just the software which can have malware.and incorrectly assiume they can reinstall software and avoid malware.
Many manufacturers have their pre-boot loader lased with instructiuons to download malware or ransom ware from an ip. That is the reason why these are banned in many countries.
Formatting HDD will not help as their firmware is laced with malware.
