N97 is supposedly faster than the N100 so this is better than the Beelink deals you see for the same price. AOC is also a more prominent brand, but I wouldn't be shocked if they all come from the same factory.
Dual LAN also makes this ideal for networking purposes, especially if they're Intel based.
Edit: I see the powered by AceMagic sticker in a photo. This is a clear rebadge but it's still a good deal.

ACEMAGIC & AOC Collaborate on T8PLUS Intel 12th Alder Lake-N97 Mini PC [acemagic.com]
N97
- 12w TDP
- 4 cores @ 3.6 GHz Max Turbo
- Intel UHD Graphics (24EU @ 1.20GHz)
- Single channel ram limited by intel. Could be way better with dual channel, but intel gonna intel.
N100
- 6w TDP
- 4 cores @ 3.4 GHz Max Turbo
- Intel UHD Graphics (24EU @ 750MHz)
- Single channel ram limited by intel.
Probably won't notice a difference between the two.
I'm guessing its like performance vs balanced on their other chips, higher minimum clocks is better responsiveneness if you are using UI, but doesn't matter for other things.
double the gpu clocks may matter for transcode though.
The T8 plus n100 is on aliexpress for $116, looks like the same triple hdmi cube design. They don't show how the fan is setup, its a small box so I wonder how well the 12 watts is cooled vs 6.

I found https://www.aliexpress.
I found https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...23628.html [aliexpress.us] and https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...27737.html [aliexpress.us]. Both are N100 16GB+512G and are significantly cheaper. The first one is just a different color than the AOC one. FireBat is probably not a good Mini-PC manufacture. The problem is all these brands are probably made by the same maker.
Only the second one is n100, the first is an older chip.
*yea i'm quoting a gone comment meh
