seems like a pretty solid deal. I snagged one of the barebones Ryzen 7 6800H S3A when it was on sale. my only complaint was that it should have had a cooling fan installed in the removable side panel to blow air across the NVMe drive(s) but I was able to use a low profile heatsink on my NVMe drive to help with that. if anyone can link a compatible fan that will work in that spot on the S3A series that would be great. there appears to be an open port for it on the bottom board for the ARGB lights.

As for the deal, I'm fairly happy with my slightly less impressive Ryzen 7 8745 equivalent from Minisforum, which I paid also $399 for.

As for the accused spam:

This looks really familiar. Here's my funny story.

My elderly father has a Windows 10 laptop that I prepared for him. I generally don't trust him not to download stupid things, so when Windows lost its shit over this exact listing, I read him the riot act. But I had to apologize, because it wasn't his fault. Do you want to know what the offending item was, which Windows wouldn't tell me about until I clicked through?

A Microsoft Office 2003 cracked iso. An over twenty year old installer. Could it possibly contain any reasonably modern virus, like the one listed by Windows? Of course not.

Microsoft is, at best, negligently configuring Windows in a way that creates false positives. Much more likely they're fraudulently trying to terrorize users into paying for licenses.

I'm not saying all these Chinese mini PC companies are trustworthy. But Microsoft's crooked false positives are not a possible reason why they would not be.

I'm genuinely sorry for the copy and paster's concerns here. It's scary when it looks like you have a virus, and one that you paid for.

Personally I am not willing to roll the dice with my data security. And his evidence is compelling enough to listen to. You do you, but personally I have too much to lose to take such gambles.

There is a person in SD, who for months posts in every Acemagic thread, claiming for the existence of a "Mythical BIOS Virus" without any proof. Finally most of the people started seeing the trolling nature and his posts get downvoted by everybody. Their Computer once has a Malware detection issue in the version of Windows as they were using a Windows Security Bypass tool for bypassing MS Account requirement and left that in the computer before shipping. A simple Format can fix that and the barebones will never have issue.
I am pretty sure that the poster who posted that huge post, is a probably a duplicate account of the same person. Just do a View Profile and you'll see that he just copy paste that whole thing in every thread.
