It probably shouldn't have "Win 11 Pro" in the thread title then, unless they're giving you a loicense with barebones.

I have Beelink mini PC and they have license number embedded in BIOS, when you install new OS just leave the license number empty and it fills it up automatically

This review suggests it can be. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Ace...239.0.html

As already mentioned above, we also performed additional gaming tests with the Ace Magician AM08 Pro together with the Razer Core X and our Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card. The 3D performance can be increased noticeably with the corresponding accessories via the Thunderbolt port. There is no grave performance difference between the AMD based systems. The Geekom Mini IT12 as well as the Intel NUC 12 based on the Intel Core i7-1260P are able to achieve a higher performance with the external graphics card. We measure about 10% more performance compared to our test unit.

Careful ordering from Ace, if you look through previous deals you'll see myself and others are still waiting months later for deliveries. I ended up doing a chargeback which was disappointing as, despite the looks, they seem like decent machines for the price.

Interesting, I guess Slickdeals is really Shilling as they say hard for this company, but for them to not ship out the product and Slickdeals still pushing their products as promoted is disgraceful.....

I was on the fence about getting one for fun to play with, but dont want to be hassled with possibly having to argue and chargeback so I think I will pass for now.

Going to check out the other threads see how common it is.

I very recently bought a unit of theirs from Amazon with no issue. Shipped from Amazon, sold by ACEMAGICIAN Direct.

I'm fairly sure they're just getting hardware from the same ODM as Beelink, though it sounds like the issues mentioned here are related to their own ordering/shipping process.

Anyone noticed their sponsored ads are now censored on Facebook? 100+ comments but none show up. lol I'm assuming since there's so many mad emojis, the comments arent nice.

From Amazon, you do not get Barebones,right? You get a configured mini PC with RAM and Storage as well as installed OS. That means that the OEM had already sent the item to a Amazon warehouse and hence u are able to get it within the next few days.

That is correct. It was a preconfigured system.

I mentioned it as I've purchased at least 2-3 systems from their brand via Amazon over the last couple of years. I haven't had an issue with the hardware or a lack of items being delivered (which I have seen happen with other Amazon purchases sold directly by vendors in the past).

While it sounds like there are definitely issues currently when ordering from their website, I wanted to point out that their devices aren't vaporware and can be obtained elsewhere. My opinion of them as a company due to these issues is for sure lessened, but I still won't hesitate to consider one of their devices if the price is right on Amazon

Misleading title and poor merchant reputation...sounds like it would be best to stay away from this "deal" posted by Staff.
