It's back again but slightly cheaper.
With discount code and shipping mine came to $149
Don't neg the deal because of that.
And get a fraction of the performance + pay extra for power supply, case, storage and cooling
You wouldn't, you'd get one Rpi 5 8gb for $135 and still need to get a powersupply, and storage..
So much hate for Pi.
Good. More for me you diabetic ***** =>

Hope this is normal price for all N100 mini pc even on Amazon. Feel safer to buy from there instead.
Would this be a good one for emails, general web browsing and not much more for an older person? Was really hoping for a deal on amazon, how do these compare to the amazon prices? Are they worth the extra money?
This is all you need for those things.
For that sort of usage the choice is either a new cheap Chinese miniPC, or a refurbished name brand thin client or similar. You choose which depending on the attributes you want. You get pretty much the same result because when that's all you need, pretty much anything will do it.
I think it’s fine for your use case. The other comment on the second hand dells from the eBay resellers is also a good idea to consider.
For the Amazon comparison, I think the ones on Amazon are also resold on Alie (gmktec). Leads me to believe they are probably pretty similar products, but you should do your research.
There appears to be some checks you should do on the aloe express mini pcs for peace of mind around your sensitive information being stolen too. I’ll do the checks myself and I probably won’t use it for banking etc .. but just something to keep in mind if you’re buying the pc.
amazon might come with an AU power supply, not sure what this one comes with. pictures show plug pack with EU and US snap on connectors.
That is a great callout,
I have asked the rep and they replied with: "As I see here this is a universal power plug".
We will see what rocks up :)
I didnt think of that, would it be something safe to use even? I know some can be pretty dangerous on aliexpress and ebay from china.
Why do they bother with a fan at all on a 6W 800 MHz CPU? Surely if they designed it with the right shaped case so convection passively cooled it they could dispense with it altogether. Plenty of thin clients with CPUs that put out a lot more watts do.
How noisy the fan on this?
6W is the power consumption when it's sitting idle. When you're actually using the computer the power draw can spike up to 20-25W or more. Mini PCs that are passively cooled usually cost more, it's far cheaper just to put in a fan.
Because a fan is cheaper than a passive heat sink case
I thought that was a robot vacuum based on the thumbnail
Just bought this 6 days ago for $177 - how easy is it to organize a return on AliExpress? It was my first time shopping with them.
Something wrong with it already?
They probably just want to refund > rebuy and pocket the $30 savings which is understandable but a bit of a hassle
Once wrote to customer service about paying me $50 difference for my Anbernic Rg405V when I bought it for $230 and found it for $180 couple of days later, got refunded for the whole thing and I kept it lol
Anyone know how good these would be for running as a plex server?
I've done some research & apparently really good. One thing to watch out for is if your Wifi uses WPA3 you will either need to downgrade the network to WPA2 or upgrade the wifi card inside this machine, otherwise it will not be compatible over wifi (but Ethernet will still work)
Thanks mate. Have just been reading through previous deals and the same issue was raised there as well. Was planning to use both ethernet and wifi. Pretty sure I'm using WPA3 so will look at adapters on AE.
Does anyone know if all the hardware drivers for this are available for ubuntu?
Can this plus hdd replace synology ?
Mostly for arrs package, plex, transmissions, ebook server, photo server, openvpn server.
My synology is old and j series so no docker.
Awesome price I'll get a second
No USB Type C port?
