Sooo, they are definitely a company that trades reviews for products (same with BeeLink, etc.) However, the products are definitely fine. I've owned three of them, and haven't really found any flaws. The components inside are basic (SSD, RAM), but they do the job.

I wouldn't say "definitely" better. The performance gain is maybe 10% but it uses 2.5x the amount of energy.

I have owned and used many Intel NUCs as well as mini PCs from larger Asian companies like Beelink and AceMagician with lots of Amazon/US sales, and tiny ones that have a single Amazon sku.

In my experience, Intel NUCs may be slightly better constructed, but the difference is usually very slight or non-existent. Nearly all worked well.

By far the biggest difference is after purchase technical support and bug fixes.

Intel and of the the other well known brands like Acer, Asus, HP, have large support sites and provide ongoing driver upgrades, bios fixes, and a reliable method of contacting the vendor for questions/warranty.

AceMagic, Minis-Forum, and Bee-Link are a tier down from that. All three have very active user forums on their websites where you can get technical info, driver downloads, and can make contact for warranty issues. However, these companies very seldom release Bios Updates and any driver updates will come from the parts manufacturer like Realtek or Intel, not the PC brand.
The AceMagic forum support is very good, like Bee-link, Minis-Forum.

3rd tier brands who sell very little in the U.S may or may not have any web support at all. They likely have no active forums and may be hard to find if you need a repair or questions answered.

My helpful hint: check the manufacturer's website and log on the user forum before making a purchase. You will find if there are frequent issues with the model you are considering, if customer questions are answered promptly, and if they provide image files so you can easily re-install the operating system. I think Acemagic is good in these areas.

My ranking when selecting is Minis forum, beelink and the acemagician. Beelink has stepped up the designs in recent years. Acemagician is slowly following. Minis forum has a release so often it's ridiculous sometimes.

From what ive seen on mini pc forums is beelink is better than acemagician, it's stronger and cheaper

Also these quick benchmarks don't give you a picture of the long session performance. The 5800U has the same boost frequency but much lower base clock, long sessions will drop from the boost frequency and the 5800h will increase the lead. I believe true performance difference is bigger than just the 12% shown in the benchmark

I would also caution, the Beelink Ryzen models pack almost too much power in too small of a package. It's got a very loud and variable speed fan. I ended up returning mine because every little action resulted in the fan ramping audibly. It's a shame because some of the lower TDP beelinks like the N100 based models are wonderfully quiet and compact.

Anyone have insight on how many 4K Plex transcodes this could handle at once? Right now I'm using an Nvidia Shield Pro and it's pretty much failing the moment it hits any sort of transcoding. It will do direct play just fine, even 4K direct play remotely, but the transcode issues are driving my up the wall and I've been looking at Mini PCs as a possible replacement. Or to have two servers running. My understanding is AMD still lacks behind when it comes to Plex transcoding though.

Edit: I went with this Beelink Intel i5-1235U for a few bucks more. Research says I'd have a much better experience for my use case. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BLSGKXKL/

Could I use this on a 55" 4K OLED? Mostly for web browsing from the couch and light gaming?

Wow, that sucks. I was looking forward to getting one of the mini PCs with either the 5800U or 5800H, but yeah, that would be incredibly annoying. Was leaning toward 5800U because it's only 15w, but it seems like that would be the more stressed of two (more fan lol).

Any chance you got a defective unit? Like maybe heatsink wasn't screwed down all the way, thermal paste wasn't applied properly, etc?

There is no noise problem with the AM06 with the U processors. The 15w U processors were designed to work fine in laptops, where there is a lot less space and ventilation than in a MiniPC. The H processors were designed for small/medium desktop PCs with better ventilation and larger fans. In a miniPC they have to use nosier higher RPM fans to keep them cool. In most cases they use 2 fans, and still end up throttling them so you do not really get the extra power in a small PC.

I got the earlier AM06 6250U (same 15W rating) and it is quite quiet except for brief moments like during boot or unusually high CPU usage. Even then it is just a soft woosh since there is just a single fan instead of two higher RPM fans.
