It's subsidized by state malware. It's very similar to how Ring/Blink camera footage is processed through Amazon servers for AI training and sharing with Flock/LEOs. Similarly the US government and Saudi Arabian government purchased EA games so they pretty much have a back door on any windows PC that has Xbox Games/ EA App installed. Generally if something tech-related is free or cheap, 9/10 times it's because they're making money off of your data. The sad part is more and more companies are realizing they can charge more and sell your data.

This never stops unless everyone stops giving them money.

I'm pretty sure these cheap Chinese mini-PCs usually come with Windows preinstalled, but you're probably going to want to do a clean install anyway, or use Linux

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.

  • The unit reportedly ships with 2x8GB DDR5 RAM for dual-channel performance.

  • The mini PC can handle 1080p gaming well for an iGPU class setup.

  • A clean Windows 11 install reportedly auto-activates without a product key.

  • The system reportedly supports USB-C power up to 100W on the Amazon listing.

It will be amazing for casual gaming. This iGPU is like 2 generations newer than the SteamDeck and that's been selling like hotcakes.

It's hard to relate what to expect unless I know your baseline. It's probably around the power of a GTX 1050 ti. You could probably play almost anything if you turn down the settings and resolution. Cyberpunk at 480p?😅 Probably not that bad. It should work great for emulation, and there is a metric ton of PC games which should run fine on it. I guess it depends on what kind of frame rate you feel is playable as well. You should be able to play forza horizon 5 on lower settings. I was able to play tony hawk 1&2 from my steam OS drive in my gpd win max 2 which hads the 7840u and 780m. I did have to turn the resolution down to 1080p because it seemed choppy at native res. I'm not 100% on this, but it appears to have a second nvme slot that covers over the wifi/Bluetooth card in the pictures. In theory you could add your own oculink port with an nvme adapter, and connect it to a GPU dock. I would probably have fun with it as is though.

For a comparison, you can look up games running on the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. Basically the same GPU, though this one might be faster because it's not running on battery (or might be slow because it's got slower RAM, will depend on the game)

2x8GB RAM is a surprise. MiniPCs with 16GB RAM usually cheap out and come with only one RAM stick which hurts GPU performance.
Solid deal!

What type of cooling this one uses?

Edit: In for one, very solid deal as far as specs.

The Amazon review on this are pretty bad.. I almost bought it but now skeptical ..what's the point of the PC can't run reliably
I could only find one listing on Amazon for this and it had 4 five-star reviews. Can you share the link for the bad reviews?

Seems waaay to cheap, something way too good to be true? Def seems like a pretty unknown brand, low ram. but still.

Good deal, I'm returning my A6 I bought a couple weeks ago for 220. This one has a faster cpu, dual channel ram, and USB C PD. Can't beat it for the price.

Solid deal!
This is a mixed bag. I usually prefer it when I see the vendor shipping with just one larger stick. Most of the time these deals are "Great, except I wish it had more RAM." This one included.

If it shipped with just one stick, then upgrading to 32 GiB would cost ~$75. Since both of it's RAM slots are already populated, you'd have to spend ~$150 and set the current 2x8GiB aside.

That being said, if you don't plan on upgrading then 2 sticks is the better configuration for sure.

Dude. You have zero evidence to back this up. As you have said, if they want to do state sponsor spying, there are WAYYY cheaper and easier way to do this. IoT are like $5 to produce and nobody is going to do a deep dive on the firmware of those.

I bought their Firebat A6 a little while back, and I like it! If this was available at that price I would have went with that! I would recommend you back up your drivers, and reinstall windows. That's just me. I haven't seen this torn down, but I would bet it's only a single stick of ram like the A6. I removed the grill that probably works as a rf shield and heatsink for your ram and storage. I was adding a second nvme for batocera, and I didn't have another thick piece of thermal pad. I just put heatsinks individually on the nvmes that I had laying around. Mine is weaker than this one. Mine has the 6800h and 680m IGPU, but it works great for me!

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.
its 8+8 on the ram
