They still allow these malware boxes to be sold?

Look at Ace Magician downvoting this comment 🤣

Can you elaborate? I always thought you can format after activating windows.

Not according to the most critical reviews, these devices come installed with hidden state sponsored malware. https://youtu.be/nwOsvO2uYHA

Would like to know the answer to this as well, can't you just do a fresh windows install?

If this was a beelink machine it would be pretty good but personally I stay away from Ace. While I have owned many different brands of mini PCs I have never owned a Ace myself but I frequent Mini PC discussion sites and have heard to many horror stories. It's just not worth it when I can stalk beelink listings and get a pretty great deal with a little bit of time and effort.

They claim it was resolved, but there are varying opinions. Maybe the company just wants to get rid of them and the price has to be this low because of their poor rep.

​These devices have persistent malware on the recovery partition, look at some of the reviews on Amazon and YouTube for these.

Quote from AGA7d :
sure - or you can scan with windows security tools.

It's kind annoying to see all these scary 'malware' stuff when people post good mini-pc deals. It is no big deal. Anyone with basic skills should know how to deal with the threats.
But this isn't a good deal, ACE sucks and has had malware in the past and possibly still does. It's like saying that if Daewoos had priviacy and tracking issues in the past and are costing roughly the same amount as a Toyota or Honda it would be a good deal. I bought 2 beelink (which is a far better company) 5800H PCs over a year ago at $219 and $229. Considering this is a Ace a good deal a year, year and a half later would be about $150. At $150 it might be worth taking a shot

Install from USB with fresh full format. Linux runs fine also but I had an issue with wifi drivers. I got them from their website.

For the record. The malware (multiple trojans) that existed was on the device UEFI firmware. No simple wipe of the drive or fresh install of a different OS will remove it.
