This company previously shipped mini-pcs with unremoveable malware and spyware even after a reformat and bios flash. Avoid
The prior AD15 Gen was accused of this. Are there still concerns on current iterations?

He is trolling and he does that to each and every Acemagic thread, posted in last couple of months.

I don't know why these slickdeals posts are always full of shills. I see they've already started here. It's so odd.

I suggest everyone stay away from this company. I have personal experience with this company's products and they are a super shady Chinese company that provides little to zero after purchase support, their warranty is made internationally near impossible to use, they literally don't stock replacement parts, and they are known for doing things like shipping computers with viruses installed.

What kind of viruses/malware are we talking here? I doubt it'd persist with a reformat + installation of a linux OS, in which case this would be a nice little mini server.

I'm no hacker, but I'd love to know how a ROM chip can inject crap onto a fresh windows install (especially if the nvme was from the outside and not the included one)

From what I have read a full deep format should clear the problem. Then you need your own OS

That one person keeps spamming everywhere without any links or sources about a mythic and non-existent "unremovable" malware specifically for this brand. The non-existent "unremovable" malware is just fearmongering happen in the comment section of this article.

Just do a full wipe and clean install if you have concerns. Also, do a favor and just report the person for trolling / spamming until they posts a source/link to the "unremovable" malware.

I am tempted to get one of these and try to make a steam box out of it.

I would agree with the poster that its not worth buying this brand. Even if they are no longer shipping malware it's not worth the risk. There are plenty of mini-PCs from vendors without such a bad reputation and they don't cost much more. And barebones version Bios malware that persists after reformatting a drive iz known to exist. Whether this company has it or not, is a different question. Still, even one instance of pre-installed malware is too much imo. It would be a death blow for a typical OEM, idk why people are defending this shady company when there are plenty of other mini-PC makers out there
