If anyone wants to try this with a (mini) PC without an OCuLink port, but with a spare M.2 slot, you can try looking for an adapter like a "F4C". This converts an M.2 slot, which is really a PCIe x4 slot, into an OCuLink port.
(I believe the BK7, F9G, and F4C are all made by the manufacturer "ADT". But you'll find a lot if listings on places like Amazon and AliExpress just list the model name. So just search for those.)
In reality, study after study shows that consumers in the receiving country bear most of the cost. According to Amiti et al. (2020) and Fajgelbaum et al. (2020), U.S. consumers absorbed nearly 100% of the cost of the tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war under Trump's first administration. Feng, Han, and Li (2023) found U.S. importers bore 93% of U.S.-imposed tariffs. The numbers are remarkably consistent across time and geography: under normal conditions, consumers absorb between 60% and 90% of the cost. That's the economic consensus, not a debate.
Happy to list more studies if you're actually curious:

Lots of reports of them just ignoring you after you need warranty repair help.

That said, Plex has made it seem like amd support is "as-is" and doesn't seem to get as much focus as Intel.

Tarriffs aren't paid by the companies shipping, they are paid by the recipient. You could say the vendor could reduce their prices to offset costs but even then there's only so much wiggle room. Much of the electronic space has razor thin margins, with the intent being to make money by selling large quantities vs high margins.
But for the sake of argument, let's say this item has high margins. Let's imagine this mini PC costs the vendor $200 their cost to produce one unit. Proposed tarriffs on China are 125-245%. Let's go with the smaller #.
Even if the vendor decided they would sell it at cost and make zero profit, the importer would have to pay $250 tarriffs per unit, meaning to sell it at cost it would need to sell for $450, that's if both the vendor and reseller wanted to make zero profit, which is obviously unrealistic.
