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.

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

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

The Chi-NUC mPCs from Kamrui,Acemagic Acemagician, NiPoGi, etc, manufactured by CYX have not been known for quality control since the malware debacle some time ago. Most people avoid them. For a similar investment, 6nm Rembrandt Zen 3.5 processing power & RDNA2 Radeon RX 680M integrated graphics per
