This is a crazy good deal. Nothing is touching this.

No SSD, but 24GB (soldered), USB4 AND Oculink is phenominal.

I can only speak for myself i suppose, but the number of folks concerned about these things (in sd comments, reddit, etc) vs the number of folks actually affected are pretty lopsided. Most of the concerns are about malware being preloaded on hdds running windows. Some have mentioned bios level stuff, but I dont know if those are confirmed.
Also, if you're familiar with installing your own OS and are able to do simple network VLANing you should be able to prevent any attacks (assuming there is actual malware on the machine). All im saying is taht there is a lot of FUD out there with regard to the concerns you mentioned. If your risk tolerance is low, i guess you can skip these kinds of deals. Its all about your own comfort level.

In for 1. Current price of RAM alone makes this a good deal. Fact that its soldered not a big deal since should be enough. Hoping HDMI 2.1 so I can get 120hz in 4k. Hard to find on the lower cost mini PC's like this.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank orlanth

Somehow they have calculated 16.7% sales tax in California making it $12.42 more than with the actual sales tax.

Doesn't even sound like they know what they're talking about and you spent the time doing all that for them- probably not to buy it... LOL

I ended up buying 3 for a cluster. Right now i have a frankesteinian setup with all sorts of random computers. Everythings working pretty good, but i think i can use these little guys to simplify my setup. Proxmox, talos, k8s. The only thing im a bit worried about is igpu transcoding for plex/jellyfin. My uses there arent high, but i might just leave one of my old i7's running for just plex.
Dayummmm! You smart, ain't you?

Sorry, the coupon code you entered is based on a first come first served basis and has been used up by other shoppers. Please enter a different coupon code or explore other discounts on AliExpress.

Bought it. Didnt realize it was soldered ram. Bummer. Free returns i guess but still solid deal for oculink, 24gb ddr5, dual 2.5gb nics, etc
According to this review, the ram doesn't appear to be soldered. https://youtu.be/_tgTuMbpoXw?si=bGn31HUvTHadvDpp

Edit: my bad. The review was for a different model.

Same here in NY, but with a calculated rate around 14.45%.

I decided to chat with them to see what's going on since they are not listing taxes in detail.

I got $284.82 - $35 (Discount) + $0 shipping + $36.11 (taxes) = $285.93
NY tax rate is 8.875% not 14.45%

When asked for a break down I was sent an invoice which showed much different information including costs in CNY.

Price: 2775.50 (CNY) = $404.72
Sales Tax Rate: 8.875%
Sales Tax Amount: 246.33 (CNY) = 35.92
Total Inclusive of Sales Tax: 3021.83 (CNY) = 440.63
Not quite sure how they are coming up with this creative math...

Is the deal still available? Would be interested if there was a new working code without the error "For security reasons your request can't currently be processed"
