They're Realtek adapters, not MediaTek.

They apparently work with Pfsense too - several people report it works and is stable.

I bought the AceMagicianAM06 Pro after your last review and I love this little thing!... I got it for $329 after the $90 amazon coupon, and frankly I'm astounded at the price with a genuine copy of Windows 11 pro. I installed a 2TB SSD easy enough and have it on 2 - 27" monitors at 1080p. On the vesa mount behind one of the monitors it genuinely looks like I have a floating dual screen "all-in-one". I don't game or video render so I can't speak to extreme performance, but in a work from home use case with usually 2 browser windows, outlook, excel and zoom open simultaneously I have yet to have a hiccup with this little beast. Thanks Lon for the recommendation, I was sure to use your link ;)

I have a similar Firebat T8. Exact same specs. It ran freebsd like a dream. It's perfect for command line apps, and open source software. I use this machine as my daily driver, highly recommend it for the price of $135 CAD.

Back in the day i had to connect my laptop to TV to play all my mame & pinmame games, now I use one of these mini pc's, its excellent.

[Yasso]

Amazing video with all the information needed. Big thanks !

[daveschmarder-US]

I enjoyed the review, Lon. I'm going to get one of these type PCs to replace my old clunker. I'll probably buy one of those Beelink computers like you had reviewed earlier.

[CraigLong]

The cables are bigger than the PC. So putting the PC on the back of the monitor would be nice.

[johnjendzurski]

Just FYI, I bought one of these last week, and while it did have Windows 11 installed, it was not activated, and there is no product code supplied. I am currently trying to resolve this through Amazon and the vendor.

[HelloKittyFanMan]

Good, I'm glad that the SSD is removable so you can upgrade the capacity. Too bad the RAM isn't that way, with little mini sticks for that purpose, though. That and the WiFi card render this computer as not an SBC.

[weslindsey]

Do you run any kind of antivirus on these? If so does it affect performance?

[libr]

I can use for secundary pc, for live stream 1080p 60fps?

[davidboling]

Great video!

Would it work as a plex server for limited use? I'm thinking just to have stuff available if needed, not daily use by any means.

[SamytheBullFitness]

Can you cline your old pc's win 10 on this?

[MohammadMustafaBaghaei]

Hi, do you have the press the power button twice to turn it on like my one ? Or is that just on my one that i have to do that ?

[abdurrahmansarker]

What is the boot menu key for installing os?

[headerahelix]

In the EU I'm not seeing home theatre boxes, it seems to be a dead market. Was looking at a mini PC for home theatre purposes but if it's no good I'll have to figure out what to do instead.

[chronicgaming]

Would this pc be able to run obs studios so I can stream from it al be playing on a ps5

[chrisxp]

Can the bios be opened and have it increase the mhz to 4800?

[dturk]

How do you think this would work as an NDi decoder running NewTeks Studio Monitor for 1, 2 or even 3 attached HDMI screens?

[geekrated]

Don't know about USA but in my cou try dell and hp mini pc of 7th gen i5 avaibake for just 150$ with 256 /8 Confiq. And of course nothing can beat that
