M1

Kamrui, Acemagic and Acemagician were caught shipping with malware. If you come across those brands best to buy barebones and use your own, seperately acquired, drive/os. In truth, so many miniPC brands exist that you could really just ignore those names (it’s really one brand).

Bad support, cheap parts, known to have pre-installed malware. The issue with a lot of Acemagic/Kamrui/Acemagician miniPCs is that, even if you do a fresh install of Windows, the drivers for the insanely obscure parts like wifi can only be found on obscure chinese websites or forums.

Here's the perspective of Chi-NUC brands from more than 4 decades of PC repair. Understand that these are PCs which do not have registration requirements for warranty or regional centers for repair. Their primarily in the category of consumer electronics one purchases off the shelf from a local reta

Wobei ich von Acemagician fern bleiben würde, die wurden schon mit Malware geliefert siehe: https://www.tomshardware.com/desktops/mini-pcs/mini-pc-maker-ships-systems-with-factory-installed-spyware-acemagic-says-issue-was-contained-to-the-first-shipment

I’d be a bit cautious with ACEMAGIC for a homelab “core” box, not so much because of performance but because of trust. Earlier this year they admitted that some mini PCs (AD08/AD15/S1) shipped with pre-installed spyware (Redline + Bladabindi) baked into the factory Windows image. Honestly, they, alo

Go Beelink, not only is the CPU better but they’re more trusted. AceMagic/Acemagician are well known to give you a version of windows that is full of spyware/malware, if you do go Acemagic because it’s cheaper, understandable but you should use your own version of windows and install it from a USB d

I bought an Acemagic M1 which is pretty cheap. I upgraded the memory, SSD and installed my own OS rather than use what came with it. So far so good, but it's better to shop around rather than go with what seems to be the best price. Mine had an AMD Ryzen 7 6800H for $299. Only 16 GB of RAM and 512GB

do you have brand suggestions? I was about to buy the acemagic M1 but i just found out of the maleware scam and now i have second thoughts on the brand
