Not sure why you got downvoted. It's true. Just Google it people
Yea but something more current would be better. There was an indeed an issue over two years ago that only affected like one month's worth of production and honestly seems not malicious (from the company itself at least. Someone malicious did indeed take advantage of the companies mild incompetence).

good deal ** apparently AceMagic sells tampered windows with spyware lmao
Tired of reading this same redundant repetitive comment. This has been addressed and clarified a hundred times now over the past few years.
Acemagic: "Our software developers, in an effort to enhance user experience by reducing initial boot time, made adjustments to the Microsoft source code, including network settings, without obtaining software digital signatures, and the RGB lighting control software was also without one. This oversight led to isolated reports of virus-infected mini PCs manufactured before November 18, 2023."
They were lax in their digital signature network security a couple of years ago when trying to make their slow devices faster. That resulted in viruses able to get onto systems. There was no hardware or software "malware" installed, the digital security software has long since been strengthened, and there have been no repeats of the problem. Fake outrage over things like this when trying to get a computer on the cheap is silly.
It would be better to stick to facts in the present tense, with the present device, such as information on whether it lives up to its stated specs and prices. That would be more helpful than just copy pasting something you read on some posts 3-4 years ago. Thanks.

More suggestive would be for you to Google it and read and understand the entire thing, first.
"INTEL" Ryzen H255 (?)
No display brightness, refresh or color accuracy stats (which means it's crap)
It might be a good deal, but you don't exactly know what you're gonna get.

That's nice, none of that has to do with the specs I listed that are missing.

These are new to me, but I'd be wary if you NEED one of these for school or work, without a definitive answer to my question.
