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.

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.

Thanks for the reply. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to search Super Deals. Browsing is a huge PITA. Gotta scroll through a lot of garbage, and still don't see any miniPCs. I think you got lucky.

If you don't want to wait for the $75 deal to come in stock there's a Chuwi Larkbox X that you can get for $107 right now that is better in some ways.

Pros/cons of the Larkbox X compared to the AK2 Plus:

Intel N100 with slightly faster graphics vs N95
12GB DDR5 soldered on vs 16GB slower socketed DDR4
PCIe SSD vs M.2 SATA (maybe not? official Chuwi website and some reviews show a SATA M.2 SSD)
Wifi 6 vs Wifi 5
Dual ethernet with 2.5GbE port plus second GigE port vs just single GigE.
USB-C port with some reviews saying it can be directly powered by USB-C (unconfirmed)
Up to triple display (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB-C) vs dual HDMI
Larkbox doesn't have SATA storage expandability.

$147 - 20 automatic - 20 (code US20) = $107 + tax

US20 works for me at checkout for the Larkbox X. If you're trying to use it for something else I dunno.

Before you enter the code does it how any other discounts besides the automatic 20 off 100? If it shows other stuff like new user promo maybe try removing it.

For my perspective, the Larkbox X is better deal than the Firebat Ak2 for $30 more. From the specification, Larkbox X motherboard is at least half a generation newer than the Firebat Ak2. In addition to what sjguy01 pointed out the difference, Firebat AK2 has 2xUSB2.0 + 2xUSB3.0 vs Larkbox X has 2xUSB3.0+2xUSB3.2!

The price difference is definitely worth the value if you will use the extra features. But lots of people will use it as a basic desktop or HTPC and won't have a use for dual NIC or need more than 2 monitors or gen2 USB3. The CPU cores and clock speeds of the two are identical and they'll perform nearly the same in day-to-day use so it's just a matter if you will need the specific upgrades for niche use like soft router or fast external storage for NAS/Plex.

Agree. However, I think the gen2 USB3 and USB C will have wider application. I did forget to mention the most important reason why I pick Larkbox X. I am willing to pay $5-$10 more just so I can order a computer without need to go over superdeal everyday hope to hit the jackpot and find the magic link for the Firebat AK2 for $75. SmilieSmilieSmilie ( I did waste a few days on that already).

BTW: Amazon has this machine and is list for $199.99

PS: Where can I find review for Larkbox X. Thanks for any pointers.
