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.

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.
I also got my SK Hynix P41 2TB hard drive for $135 and I found 16GB x 2 on facebook marketplace for $50.00... ALL last October.
Now thinking of upgrading to a Acemagic F5A (AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370)... for 530ish (I think I saw a front page deal). And I can sell my old system with the original 16GB of RAM and 7840hs and 512GB for $300ish???
