sorted byHowever, if you were to choose the 𝟱𝟲𝟬𝟬𝗛 option, VAT is not added at checkout. With this, VAT+carrier processing fee (around £35-40) will most likely be charged in the UK as the majority of buyers experienced in the previous deal hotukdeals.com/dea…383
I ordered this last month, with the 5600h.
VAT wasn't added by Aliexpress, and I was stung by customs, around £40.
The final cost was around £200, all inclusive. I would not have bought it if I knew this. There were better options on Amazon for next day delivery.
Ignoring the cost, it's a very nice piece of kit though. Much smaller than I expected.
I'm running Proxmox on it, with Windows 11, a few LXC/Docker containers, and a bunch of Linux distributions for testing/playing purposes.
I will upgrade memory to 32gb, and nvme drive to 2tb at some stage. It's running fine as it is though.
It took six days to leave China, then 3 days to Holland, then it just sat there for 4 days.
It's finally in the UK, but then spent another 4 days in UK customs.
This seller obviously uses the cheapest shipping companies.
I bought a different miniPC from another seller, which said 7-day delivery. It took 27 days & was sent by FedEx (probably not cheap), but I suspect something similar happened along the way. Didn't pay VAT at Aliexpress or in the UK, as the seller undervalued it.
Just wanted a small form pc that works well and it does all of that.
The device itself - manual had me in stitches. I love how it tells you to be careful of dangerous software - twice. Oh, and lightning - be careful of that too!
I wiped the SSD and installed Win11 myself. Then the driver woes started and a day spent hunting down the necessaries (btw - don't go grabbing anything from firebat website - those drivers are old and untrustworthy).
Once it was all set up the performance is impressive. For such a small device I'm really impressed. Much better and a lot faster than the N100's floating around (I have one too).
Worth every penny so far. Just be aware of import duty and dodgy windows and drivers - clean it!
- physical size & weight, Dell is larger & heavier but not by much
- greater(?) expandability options with the Dell &
- whether or not you are paranoid about the very slim possibility of BIOS-level malware in these FE miniPCs. (edited)

And talking of airflow, these things can get noisy. The fans aren't that quiet

I bought the same Toshiba PA3917U-1ACA laptop mains adaptor from eBay:

I felt it was much less likely to cause a fire and cause my house to burn down than something from AliExpress!
I can't remember the diameter of the barrel but I can measure it when I get home. (edited)
Because based on: hotukdeals.com/com…997
Its 19V 3.42A
Power = Voltage x Current
So your 65W PSU:
Current = 65/19=3.42A
Exactly the same as the original. (edited)
