One would think that the n97 would be weaker than n100, bigger number usually means better CPU right?
But no! The n97 is better than the n100...why not call it n105? N110?
Anyway, good deal lol
What I did was I created a windows 11 install drive via windows 11 media creation tool then offline, I booted the USB and deleted the entire drive and did a clean install.

The only way these are such a low price is if you are the product. Acemagic has already been proven to have malware baked into the device. It's fairly arrogant if you think that wiping the OS is 100% going to wipe any malicious code off these devices. If you want your data or identity stolen, then have fun with this product.
What about the HW malware? LOL

I didn't find any review for this specific model but it looks like handful of Chinese brands all have T8-Plus model that looks exactly the same as this AceMagic x AOC T8 Plus. One of them has a deep review article and it shows Realtek NIC.

The rando saying there is still malware on this I am suspect of because this is an AOC resale and I personally don't believe that after that exposure they are still shipping malware on a resale from a volume ODM (AOC).
So you can simply wipe the SSD (full erase) if you are worried (I do this for ALL devices) and go about your business and put a virgin Win11 or other Linux OS on it. Just be sure to clear all partitions (most of these malware were in recovery partitions).
There have been zero confirmed reports of UFI-level rootkits on ACE. Lenovo did have a driver (could be called a rootkit) on some of their laptops and they subsequently provided a BIOS update.
Note: Even the windows Lenovo UEFI event was only active for windows, if you had used Linux you would not be affected. So this does lead to some preference for Linux on these minipc.
