AU$ based on current Mastercard rate and GST inclusive.

For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:

Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

  • Set the website currency to USD
  • Checkout with PayPal
  • Select your card with no international fees
  • Click "See currency options"
  • Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
  • Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card.

    Hmm not sure why it was so expensive for me:
    AliExpress
    −$104.17 USD
    15 November 2024 .
    Payment $168.52
    Exchange rate
    $168.52 AUD = $104.17 USD
    1 AUD = $0.6181 USD

      Use a no fee card. Their exchange rate is garbage

      • Crownie on 15/11/2024 - 22:52

        I prefer PayPal protection over a slightly smaller cost.
        Gladly pay $5 if the item never arrives as I will just get PayPal to refund me 100%.

          In PayPal, you adjust the conversion to happen on your card rather than them doing it at a bad rate. (If you have a zero fee CC)

          My instructions tell you how to use a currency conversion free card in PayPal. You don't lose the buyer protection from changing the billed currency from AUD to USD when choosing the card in PayPal.

    Seems awesome? The ram, SSD size…

    Is warranty claim from Ali good or painful?

      If it’s not a replacement or refund outright then it’s send back at your expense.. so no, not good if you have issues.
      If that’s a concern buy from Amazon.

        Sometimes you can get a return label with AliExpress.

      • drspy00 on 16/11/2024 - 01:57

        If it arrived dead, broken, or damaged, it would probably be quite easy to get a refund but there is always a risk. I am losing trust with aliexpress and can imagine any more complicated issue would be hard to explain and they would try to wiggle out of. Apparently the return window is 15 days after receipt. This means if it stopped working within a few weeks, months, it would be hard to impossible to return. I would stick to amazon, or a company with a warranty. Amazon always seem quite good.

      I've had to send a handful of items back. If the purchase is covered by AliExpress, they review and assuming they accept just send me a auspost label to print and return to a NSW address. If I choose credit over refund it's instant. I've not had to deal with the seller in these cases.

      The few times I've dealt with sellers directly generally wasn't positive. Theyll try to partial refund or ask me to do a change of mind return. Escalating to AliExpress always resulted in a full refund however. It's been a few years since I've had to do this though.

      I always stick with items with high number of sales and covered by Ali.

        This tracks with my experience a month ago, except I got a refund as soon as I dropped the faulty part off at the post office.

    Step by step instructions for wiping and then clean install

    Auto translated from Korean

    Includes extracting and backing up existing drivers

      Or just install Linux and be done with it

        Would still extract and record the Windows licence if you ever needed it

          Is the license not embedded in the BIOS?

          • heef on 15/11/2024 - 23:53

            @DigitalAnalog: Yeah and even then the HWID registration process has been reverse engineered, so backups aren't really necessary.

        Can all minipcs have Linux installed?

  • jonoz on 15/11/2024 - 23:13

    Can anyone comment on DDR4 vs DDR5 on these CPUs? Im reading up to 30% performance improvement getting DDR5.

    • cheepo on 15/11/2024 - 23:31

      I'm holding off for the same reason. Saw comments of people struggling to run some games on their machine because of RAM but the same games running perfectly fine on other N100 machines that have DDR5.

    There's no malware concerns with this computer. Be careful of the usual racist commenters who hate these because it's "Chinese".

    I respect what you do for the community but having this attitude is a mistake. Dismissing concerns about Chinese hardware when there's plenty of examples out there of malware/sloppily implemented firmware allowing for malware attacks as racism is not only lazy, but erodes the strength of arguments against genuine racism.

    That aside, how can you say this so definitely? Have you personally audited the code?

  • johnyBgood on 16/11/2024 - 00:35

    Do they have a dual lan version of this? Interested to install opnsense.
