Alexa says this - Based on customer reviews of the BOSGAME P3 Mix Mini PC, one customer reported finding malware during a Malwarebytes scan after receiving the unit. They noted it came preloaded with malware.
However, this is an isolated report among many reviews—most customers describe it as reliable and working well out of the box. If you're concerned about security, I'd recommend:
•
Running a malware scan immediately after setup using Malwarebytes or Windows Defender
•
Performing a fresh Windows installation if any threats are detected
•
Contacting BOSGAME support (they offer 24/7 customer service) if you encounter issues

Alexa suggests contacting BOSGAME about any malware BOSGAME might have put on there. Very sensible, no notes, all hail unthinking reliance on LLM output.
In all seriousness, though, Windows itself is malware. Finding a beginner Linux distro should be considered baseline computer literacy now for anyone not relying on MS Office 365, Adobe, and/or Windows-only kernel-level anti-cheat game software.
If Zen3 is ok, for similar budget, the AOOSTAR Maco with 24 gigs (soldered, but faster) memory, 1TB SSD, and oculink port is a better deal. You also get 8 cores vs 6.
if you can swing $200 more, getting a Zen4 will get you almost double everything
8 core vs 6 core.
faster 5600 mhz memory. and double it (32gb vs 16gb...not a trifle in 2026)
double the SSD (1tb)
faster 780m graphics...which is also compounded by having faster 5600 memory.
two USB4 ports, which means you can also have four displays, versus the three displays on this one
No oculink, however, unless you go into the $600+, which is pointless.
