Community Reviews
This Firebat A5P looks like a strong budget mini PC for casual gaming, emulation, and everyday desktop use, thanks to the Ryzen 7 8745HS and Radeon 780M. The 2x8GB dual channel RAM is a welcome surprise, and real world reports point to smooth 1080p play, low idle power, and a clean Windows 11 Home install on some units. The main drawbacks are the confusing port and network specs, with USB4 and Oculink missing, USB C details unclear, and Ethernet listed as either dual 1GbE or dual 2.5GbE. A clean reinstall and driver backup are commonly treated as part of setup, making it a capable but slightly mysterious pick.
buyers who plan to do a clean Windows install and manage drivers themselves because multiple commenters recommend wiping/reinstalling and backing up drivers first, and report clean installs with no bloatware or easy driver recovery.
casual PC gamers and emulation fans who want a small Windows mini PC because commenters say the 780M iGPU is "amazing for casual gaming" and that it should run a lot of games well if you lower settings/resolution.
buyers who want a mini PC with dual-channel RAM out of the box because commenters say it ships with 2x8GB (dual-stick), which helps GPU performance compared with the common single-stick 16GB configuration.
people building a "console-like" setup for older games (CS:GO, Total War Shogun, Company of Heroes 2) because one commenter says they mainly play games from 12-15 years ago and expects the mini PC to handle them without issue.
home media/home automation users who want to run services on a mini PC because someone asked about running Plex and Home Assistant simultaneously, implying this is the kind of always-on use case people consider for the unit.
buyers who want to trust the vendor's preloaded OS/drivers without wiping because multiple commenters recommend wiping/reinstalling due to bloatware/malware risk and/or concerns about hidden backdoors/rootkits in OEM-provided software.
people who specifically need reliable 2.5GbE networking because commenters report conflicting NIC specs (dual 2.5GbE vs dual 1GbE) and at least one unit received with only 1Gbps ports, which was a deal-breaker for their setup.
buyers who want sustained high performance for non-iGPU workloads (encoding/rendering) because commenters say the unit's power limits look constrained (e.g., PL1 45W / PL2 54W) and that for non-iGPU gaming/encoding the difference may not be worth spending extra versus RAM/storage upgrades.
buyers who need eGPU/advanced expansion via USB4/OCuLink because commenters say the unit lacks usb4 or oculink, so there's "no egpu of any kind," and they also call out limited video/port options (only one USB-C).
buyers who care about Windows sleep behavior (S3) because one commenter says S3 sleep doesn't work in Windows on their unit (only modern sleep/hibernate), while S3 works in Linux.

This never stops unless everyone stops giving them money.
edit; it looks like it says it comes with 2 sticks of 8gb ram which dual channel work work better than single channel especially when the IGPU allocates it. Also the USB c on mine was probably around 10Gb/s, but I could get video through it. It would not power the A6 though. My monitor supports video and charging through USB C, but the A6 doesn't power the device through C. That would have allowed me to use just one cable for video, power, and plugging accessories through the monitor. This A5P seems to be equally mysterious about their USB C port.
It will be amazing for casual gaming. This iGPU is like 2 generations newer than the SteamDeck and that's been selling like hotcakes.

There's steps you can take to make it more difficult for them, but you won't be able to prevent them accessing your device if they really wanted to. My background is also Cyber Security, currently specialized in IAM tools, 25 years total IT experience.
That being said, if you're not a target, you should still take reasonable steps to not silently consent to the collection of your data. Whether you believe it matters or not, you should probably install your own OS (try Ubuntu instead of Windows) on any pre-built PC from a vendor you don't trust and you should opt-out of data collection whenever possible, also you shouldn't be giving out personal information to websites unless it's actually necessary to receive a product or service. If they ask for your address and you know it's not needed for the purpose of the service, enter a fake address, phone number, etc. Bad data is worthless to data collectors.
Where are you seeing it has USB C PD? I couldn't find that info in the details.
At any rate, I can't seem to get the USDEAL44 code to work.
That said, I wouldn't trust their Windows iso, if they offer one. Use your own iso downloaded from Microsoft, or some Linux distro like I said. And wipe their drive before installing, obviously
The bigger risk with this purchase is that it's a scam IMO

Also, I don't really like the...well, it's not really an argument as much as it is a rationalization- that you should throw the baby out with the bath water in this case because someone already has some kind of data on you. You're in cybersec, you should know the importance of layers of security - are you going to tell your boss/client that they may as well drop every protection because exploits exist, or say something like "well if someone really wants a way in, they're going to find it"?
I don't think it's good practice to "open wide" if you're already getting railed by one bad actor. You'd have to be down in some serious black and white thinking and defeatism to reach this conclusion - or perhaps you'd simply be a demoralization agent. After all, if it was one and done, we wouldn't have people doing these things at all, right?
