Refurbished unit for $214 after coupon on their site directly. I've had good luck with their refurbs.

Don't know why people downvoting you…

Yours is a better deal. I've ordered 4-5 refurbs and they've been fine. Packaging isn't the best and the devices can have scuffs, but perfectly fine for the price discount.

PS: OP new device is the same price on Amazon, plus you don't have to deal with Newegg…

Because it makes no sense to get a refurb when a new one is just $60 more.
Saving 22% is totally worth it.

$60 is 16gb of ram and a 500gb nvme... Easy.

This is SlickDEALS, right?

This deal is for Minisforum. ACEmagic is the only mini PC company that I'm aware of that has had a malware incident.

Did you watch until the end? After his experience, the influencer recommends buying from well-known brands like Dell, HP, Samsung and from reputable places only. Minisforum is not a well-known brand. These things are cheap for a reason. You are the product. Since these are barebones, there still could be malware hidden in the firmware and therefore not easily detectable.

The Mini UN1290 only has (1) 2.5gb NIC, I don't know what's going on in the product photos in the OP.

photo is of the NAB9(0+0)

Very similar, same cpu and chipset, but has dual usb c, and higher usb 3.2 speeds as well as second 2.5Gb ethernet port, Also one has storage memory on top side, other bottom side, may have been a cooling issue revision in manufacturing. They ARE very similar but different with those points.

Anyone know how slow the shipping is for these refurbished? I should have asked before I placed the order

Very slow on the order prep - shipping itself is fast enough, but I've had an order sitting in queue for over a month. Use a payment processor you can trust with buyer support, like paypal, and then it's just a matter of beng patient.
