I got it and immediately reinstalled windows because I don't trust this OEM, now I am unable to get the wifi drivers to install. I used the drivers on their site( that are hosted on google drive lol) and still can't get anything to show up. I will probably just return it

Edit
Nevermind, the drivers on the acemagic website are for the wrong adapter. It's the MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 Wireless LAN Card, and lenovo has the drivers on their support site. At least least that minimizes the amount of acemagic software running on this thing

Is this substantially faster than N150? Does it run without much fan noise? I have a N150 mini PC and it's been struggling with 4k YouTube plays.

Terrible, super sketchy company. Get ready for all the shills to show up and try and tell you that viruses preinstalled on computers is fine. Apparently what's also fine is awful customer support, a worthless warranty, and lack of any repair components in violation of California right to repair laws. People regularly show up to point these things out and for some reason there's also an army of people to try and downvote and say that those things don't matter. So add that to the list of sketchy things about this company. I have personal experience with this company's products and I suggest everyone stay away.

You are shiddn me? I haven't seen one home pc without the blue/red/green seperate inputs. I dont use lappy since the 90s cause they crappy (excluded is my current Dell broke the audio jack on end of service update or my Alienware which was top notch garbage an im not wanting people to laugh at me for buying; so *jedi hand wave* I never owned one ). But seriously everyone else is where I was 30 years ago trying to make computers the central part of their house. Using the audio in and out for home theather/recording/video streaming. Etc. I had no idea lappys use a trrs. Microsoft won't even put an equalizer or video player in their bloat ware. It still doesn't help me needing at least a line in an line out stereo to reduce my home studio footprint.

Can't you just use a dongle?

I had the fan kick on when installing drivers, and it's pretty loud. Not sure if there is a fan curve setting in the bios or a fan tuner can be used

Not sure where you've been, but PC manufactures have been phasing out those ports for 5+ years now for Bluetooth and USB-C. You can still get them in some models, but most of them have a front single jack, and none in the back. And with LDAC and aptX HD being pushed by Sony and others, with a quality BT6 adapter and receiver, the 3.5" (and maybe the 2.5" TRRS) is now starting to be pushed out the door.

So you're not being honest here. You may have had a bad experience, and there was an issue regarding viruses back in late 23 - early 24. The company made good on those, and since then there hasn't been any known instances publicly made. The alleged BIOS/rootkits hacks have never been proved. I do not own any acemagic products, so I cannot speak on build quality or things like that. I only spoke up about this because there are people who post false information knowingly to negatively influence people. Not everyone has ASUS ROG, Alienware, or other high-end brand money, that's why HONEST reviews on budget devices are very important.

I just ordered one. I clicked the $25 coupon first and then added the discount code, and that worked fine. Discount at checkout changed from $25 to $50.22 upon entering the code. $228.78 before tax.

Really? Do you have a link. The cheapest I brought for one of these was a Minisforum one for $180 Ryzen 4800h but it is barebones. I brought 32gb of memory and 1tb ssd which cost me $270 total.
