It's almost half the price on AliExpress, same specs no RGB for $78. It's called firebat ak2 plus , look under super deals. It sells out fast but does get restocked often too.

There was another thread for acemagic and someone commented about BeeLink being superior but is ban from SD. So most likely your BeeLink is better quality but you won't see it on communist SD.

I'm really out of the loop with these non Apple mini pcs but it's awesome to see affordable options for just about anyone. A long time coming.

Finally a mini gaming PC!!! I know it lacks a superior processor or a dedicated GPU but.... it has RGB so it's a gaming PC!
If you've got the Internet for it, GeForce Now would turn this into a solid little gaming NUC

it does not allow to ship :-P.... . check it early morning

all jack up the price to $120 ha... :p . typical scenario: sell for 74 bucks with XXX quantities, and jack the price up when aliexpress having promo deals.

better to wait everything is cooling down and the price back to normal < $100

Something is odd here. The cheap price only shows up when using this short url. And when the price is low that variation is out of stock. In a different browser if I visit the item link directly it's in stock but a higher price…

Why can't Beelink be posted here?? They are absolutely superior to this. I came here to ask if this suffers from the same cheap build (plastic everything, loud uncontrollable fan, etc) as the CHUWI and KAMRUI mini PCs I've bought and subsequently returned.

Thank you. Looks like sold out for now.
Is it worth getting 5105 with 16GB/512 config for $70 ? Majority of my use case is just browsing and YouTube with some KODI usage.

Are what cheaper? Beelink are typically more expensive and you get what you pay for IMO. The alternatives are cheaper build quality.

The only problem with these cheap mini PCs is the Realtek chipset. With the latest Linux distributions the Ethernet stopped working. I have to rely on Wi-Fi. Other than that the processor is capable for almost use cases.
There are ones costing about the same price w/ I225 if that is a concern for you. I bought N100 w/ I225v no problem from Trigkey and Beelink. I can't speak for Ace but they are not on my short list due to all the shipping issues right now.

Also any modern Linux (deb, arch, BSD) support Realtek 8k now so not sure what you are doing, but your comment is perhaps a question? Heck even my proprietary Unraid picks up my 2.5gig Realtek no problem out of the box.

You get what you pay for is marketing. I have a Trigkey and Beelink and other than minor venting out of the back and case opening them up inside they are the same ODM and board. Maybe some use different BOM but I have seen recently all using the low cost NZW components.

Now if Beelink had any BIOS support I would say, yeah but I haven't seen ANY of these Chinese shops provide any modicum of aftersale BIOS support so to my they are all disposable. If one steps up, I am game in a few years -- for now price is king. Minisforum latest Zen4 went to visual BIOS, but too early to tell if they are going to step up.

Ace seems to be buying SD biz so there is that.
