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

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

If you have a work bench you can desolder the memory chips, and sell to AI companies for profit.

No HDD. Maybe via bios, but i think we're well past those concerns.

Can you expand why we are well past those concerns?

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.

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.

Per a reddit post looks like it's HDMI 2.1

We're far from well past those concerns on certain BIOS and AIBs, but AOOSTAR has yet to show up in any testing for malware that I have seen.

They increased the price and replaced the 35% coupon with a $35 coupon, right as I was checking out.
