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?
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.

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

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.

Are you ranting about replacement parts again? I've seen you in at least 2 other threads including the $100 mini pc's you'd throw away rather than repair posting over and over about no replacement parts. Anyone buying a mini pc should know almost all of them have cpu's soldered to the board with only the memory and ssd's being upgradeable. Please give it a rest.
To those asking about linux yes most mini pc's run linux fine. I'm using dietpi for x86 which is based on debian as a docker host, jellyfin media server and a local llm without issue on a miniforum ums773 lite barebone(no memory/ssd as I had a nvme ssd and was putting max memory of 64gb in so no need to buy one with memory and then pull it to upgrade) that was recently posted for $239.
According to perplexity.ai when asked about the kamrui and ace magician malware previously found: The malware found on Ace Magician and Kamrui mini PCs was present on the Windows portion, specifically within the pre-installed Windows operating system and the recovery partition, not the BIOS or firmware level. Multiple sources confirmed that the malware (including Bladabindi and Redline families) was embedded in system files and Windows recovery, meaning a factory reset would not remove it unless Windows was fully reinstalled from clean media. There are no credible reports indicating that the infection reached the BIOS; it was isolated to Windows and associated utilities provided by the manufacturer.
