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.

Capitalism not communism drives these decisions.

Funny that it's in stock at a higher price at this link.​ [aliexpress.us] I'm waiting for the lower priced ones to go back in stock!

Yes, memory can be upgraded. I am currently running an ace magician ad03 with 32 gb ram and it works great. That machine also has n95 CPU but 2x Ethernet. Works great as a pfsense router and a bunch of other VMs. Plex does hardware decode/encode if you have a subscription with them. Best part is it runs 24/7 with all those VMs on a very cool power budget.
I bought my Aunt an AD03 a few weeks ago with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD in it, and I ordered an inexpensive 16GB RAM module to replace in it. Easy to do and it seems to be working great as well. I check our deer camera SD cards at her house, and her old computer is now so super slow that this Ace Magic will be great for us to use!

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…
Same. Something in the link referrer.

This site triggers the cheaper price
(AE website)/item/3256805300090360.html?sourceType=561&aecmd=true

Stripping the link referrer shows a higher price.
(AE website)/item/3256805300090360.html

It would be good to know how @kindredice navigated the site to find the link.

The PC with the n95 seem to be sold out. Last week I saw someone selling n5105 pc with 16gb/512gb for $75? but I want an alder lake one. Don't need one now, but I will keep shopping for one.

anyone else able to track their order at ace magic? When I attempt to track my order with the order in my confirmation email, I get "order not found" so hoping that the "magic" Isn't in how they take your money and then you never hear anything again ;-)

That's...something you're doing then, both the n100 and 5105 I have worked OOB with debian.
I have the N95. And this problem was encountered during the installation itself. The Debian installer couldn't reach debian servers for updates, so definitely not something I did. Many people have been complaining about the r8618/r8619 problem for a few years.

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.
I was able to to fix the problems. it's s timing thing, you need a workaround until the linux kernel fixes the problem itself.

also @etiRkca

Seller might have changed the promotion or relisted the item. The way to find these deals is going to the Super Deals section on the main page. I got it for $78 and it dropped to $73 a few days later. I was able to see it in stock multiple times through the link I provided. They also have discount coupons right now $10 off 70, $20 off 100. I also received my unit, it took 10 days. One thing to note is the power adapter they sent is for EU, it doesn't work with the US outlets. I had to use a EU to US convertor. Adapter is rated at 30W so you might be able to use an old laptop adapter or something but the convertors are rather cheap.

I keep seeing that as well but for $50 on my side. Its an intriguing price for sure if I can't get the n95 for $7x
