Just a heads up I got this exact mini PC yesterday (from the previous deal at about $230) and it came preloaded with a virus. Expiro.DA!MTB, it was all over the OS - this was brand new out of the box hadn't downloaded a single file. Wiped it and reinstalled windows, it's fine now (nothing firmware level) but just be aware if you do purchase - wipe it immediately.

However these aren't stackable. Use this one or the other above.
All jokes aside, I had a bad experience with one of these mini amd machines from beelink. YMMV with them, they do run hot hot hot.
But there are so many different coupons around, if you look into other posts about Aliexpress deals, seriously.

But if you're just on YouTube, it'll probably work fine if be a bit overkill.

The slowest CPU you can get with the 780m... I believe is the 7840 HS... and this is the Chip you should be looking for.... and it will be more money but not that much more...
OK.. WOW WOW WOW... there are no good deals right now on mini pc's unless you want a barebone system with the hx 370 AI which can not be had at $550.00.
This is not the week to buy IMHO. And if you think you may want to try gaming or you just want something ever so slightly stronger... I still recommend getting at least the 7840hs CPU.

Paid 232 for the 7840hs with 16GB and 512GB.... for a refurbished.
First thing I do for any PC that I buy is upgrade the hard drive. For these mini pc's... it will actually make a difference because the mobo's that use the 7840hs can also run m.2 gen 4 hard drives and SURELY, they do not install this technology in their mini pc's to save a buck. What the manufacturers are installing is most likely a m.2 generation 3 model... BIG jump between 3 and 4.
I also only by two brand hard drives.... 1. Samsung or 2.SK Hynix.
SK Hynix purchased intel. I only buy hard drives from these brands because I believe that they will last the longest.
