Similar to the sold out front page Redragon MPC745 deal the other day, but faster and cheaper. 7940HS about 3% to 5% faster than 8845HS in Redragon depending on task.

There is a choice here of either the AriesBox10 with the 7840HS (slightly slower by 5%) or the AriesBox20 with the 7940HS. Basically the cost difference in options shown for the CPU is $25. Also there is a choice between the 512GB SSD and a 1TB SSD. The cost difference is $40 between the drive choices. So you can get the cheapest configuration for $288 or the most expensive configuration at $351.

Same item on Amazon for $430

Last note for all these Aliexpress deals. The prices fluctuate by a couple bucks all the time due to currency value changes and a few other small adjustments. There may be a +/- 2 dollar spread when checking any of these deals.

78xx/79xx
87xx/88xx/89xx
H 255/260
Are all roughly the same CPU with the same 780m iGPU. The 7s series are slightly faster, but draw a bit more power than the 8s series. The 255/260 are rebrand (new numbers only) of the 8s series. So they are identical.
While I would have preferred more than 16GB of memory since it is shared with the iGPU, today's market makes that upgrade not really worth it currently price to performance wise.

This isn't FireBat, this isn't any of the other "well known" brands or stores. This is highly likely a fake seller scam account and you will not receive anything, or worse, be sent garbage/bricks and be screwed by Ali's ever decreasing customer support for scams from sellers. I wouldn't touch this deal at all.
These are also not Choice program items so you have even less support from Ali if you run into issues.
I hope it actually turns up and works as advertised.

Gaming capabilities are restricted without the ability to connect to an eGPU.
- No USB4
- No Oculink
Although, you can sacrifice one of the m.2 slots to add an eGPU...Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank humblepie
Well I'll let y'all know what shows cause my price was lower than the OP. $262 for the lower spec version. That's the cheapest I've seen for a mini pc with a 780m gpu that wasn't bare-bones. Amazon has these PCs shipping from them with next day delivery so the product does actually exist. That's my only hope lol.
However, it could certainly be crap as there isn't much out there on the brand or the seller. Wouldn't be the first time I had to do a chargeback for a scam off Aliexpress. Although I tend to have more positive experiences than negative when ordering from them or Temu. The scammers are on both though.

Good luck to all.
It seems they both have reused the same listing to build feedback and then change products and/or also have significant non-disclosure about limitations on hardware compatibility. Way too many red flags showing too much risk here vs. well researched/reviewed/more respected alternatives without a near-too-goo-to-be-true offering price that has continued to sell even though only "4" were available down to "1" and now back to "4" in the last 24 hours.
Anyone can call themselves an "Official" store and slightly change the name, what proof is there the US shipping version is really the same as the Chinese version. Pics in the Chinese listing show at least one version (8GB) ram was down to $169 USD in December, and clearly not the same version. Too many inconsistencies and risk here. For those that actually are taking the risk and ordering it, post your shipping details (ship date, arrival date, carrier) and what you actually get, if anything. We're all curious
