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.
The port and connectivity details reportedly conflict across listings and photos.
PayPal and promo-code discounts reportedly fail to apply during checkout.
Security and software trust concerns reportedly require wiping and reinstalling the OS.
Networking performance can be limited because some units reportedly include only 1GbE ports.

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?
