No customs or VAT, will let you know specifically what they've declared the value as
Customs will be charged.
It will take longer to deliver
Fan is noise when it get going, but most of time quiet.
Can change in bios to 45w
Can change igpu to use 8gb
16gb,one slot empty
Mini guide if needed...
1. Register your fee-free card as a payment method at Aliexpress (Ae) - will be using Revolut as an example here
2. Change currency at Ae to USD, so you'll be checking out & paying in USD
3. Add the item to your basket & apply all the various discount codes as applicable
4. Check the approx current currency conversion rate USD to GBP using something like xe.com
5. Add the necessary funds (recommended extra £1-2 worth on top) to the Revolut app from your bank account
6. In the Revolut app, use 'Exchange' to convert GBP to USD
7. Change the default payment currency in the Revolut app from GBP to USD
8. Double-check you are paying in USD at Ae & the USD funds in Revolut match or exceed what you need to pay, then hit the buy button

• Recommended to wipe the entire drive+partitions & install Windows afresh on receipt
- Due to malware concerns, do this with all computers sourced from the Far East, including those via Amazon, eBay, etc & also secondhand PCs from anywhere
- Some additional useful related 'how to' tips by (thank you) can be found here hotukdeals.com/com…296
- These are ok for entertainment/tweaking/home theatre purposes, but refrain from using these types of lesser-known brand PCs from the FE for anything critical or professional - e.g. for your job or run a business on. And probably even avoid any financial/crypto transactions on it altogether to be on the safest side
- If you're concerned to the point of paranoia please refrain from buying - the only relatively "safe" brands are Apple, Intel, Dell, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Lenovo, HP, Acer, ASrock & similar longstanding & reputable brands in the UK. (edited)

It will also need an nvme extender board to fit the 2280

And an A-E key to M adapter

Unfortunately too many variables for me, I did find another cracking mini pc that ticks all the boxes but its quite a lot more money for a similar spec:

I hope in future they all come with an oculink port on them
You will require a dedicated GPU. My son has an 8gb RTX3060. According to the Quest PC app it’s not powerful enough for VR, but it does just fine at around 72fps.
3070 or 4060 GPU minimum I would say in a full size / spec desktop PC, £600-800 budget depending on components required/quality of build. (edited)
You are perhaps a little unaware of the capability of even the more basic processors from the last 5 years in terms of hardware UHD playback…
EDIT: for anyone else curious found an article where they tested the similar Beelink SER6 Pro and they reported idle 5-6w, under load 55w. Occasional very brief spikes up 85w under maxed out stress testing loads (edited)
Really sorry, there was a time in the past I was up to date with all the latest specs, but there are so many different processors and GPUs out there I just dont have a clue now!
TIA
Other special HUKD codes posted here might work, let us know your experience hotukdeals.com/vou…553 (edited)
The price was $298 so I had to add some RJ45 connectors to make it over $299 so the $40 coupon worked (edited)

And yes I had this error a few days in a row.
"Google Drive limits downloads by non Google accounts. If you receive a message that the limit has been reached, please sign into your Google account and try the download again."
Also does the USB-C supply power? I can't tell. (edited)
Regarding if the USB-C supplies power, it's truly full-function apparently & they say this about it...
Also try in an incognito window, another browser/device altogether.
Now I'm gutted, I also forced my friend into buying one with me. He's going to be so mad when I share this with him.
This is a bargain at this price.
It's what they declare on the package that usually determines this, after that it could go either way & the seller has no control over what HMRC does.
P.S. trying to do a chat with them but they are based in Singapore, apparently it's 2:40 AM there now - will update later if I can get an answer. (edited)
Your milage may vary of course, but it's something to be aware of. Also, I'd be weary of manufacture quality of these mini PCs as I had to try 3 replacement units before I got one that had full functionality (faulty USB, M.2 etc). For workstation tasks though I was surprised at the speed of the chipset as it crushed pretty much everything I threw at it outside of gaming (H265 video encoding, blender rendering etc)
With regards to future proofing, good luck. As mentioned the drivers for this chipset aren't great, and it's pretty mature now (been out over 12 months) so I can't see there being any vast improvement. Also, graphics are on par with a 1050ti, and with Nvidia Blackwell around the corner, as well as the 'next gen' console releases immanent, this thing will age pretty quickly.
However, if you want to play games already released, or are just interested in compact CPU performance, it's a great option.
Import VAT £42.65
Handling fee £8.00
Total £50.65
One I paid my delivery is schedule for Monday.
So all in all, three weeks from purchase to delivery (assuming it comes Monday).
I don't have an issue with the import charge, it's a tax or the handling fee. I just wish it would have arrived sooner but at least I have a definite date for delivery now and understand the process for any future transactions.
⚠️ Just to note, we've had an Easter Bank Holiday so effectively four days off, so likely the delivery time will be quicker but make allowances if ordering in such circumstances. (edited)
It comes with a 20V-6A 120W charger & at least 100W is recommended for the USB-C PD input...
Planning to vesa mount to the TV and use it for streaming, browsing, torrents etc. Should hopefully be ok with streaming games from my desktop pc and take over the pinhole docker as well.
Also from a review techradar.com/pro…iew... "A larger drive and more memory can be added, with the potential for at least 4TB of storage and 64GB of RAM in this tiny system." (edited)
Just want a smooth boxed experience i can attatch to my desk for work.
This could be overkill though for what you need, so also consider the 5500U/5600H-based ones posted here hotukdeals.com/dea…185
