Acemagic AD08 Mini PC Review: Is a Core i9 Wasted Here?

Acemagic AD08 Review is FINALLY done!

This was a seriously delayed video for me. Dealing with malware, and taking more time to carefully clean out the computer, I’ve talked about this experience a lot already. Still, there’s a box with a processor in it, and there’s still a question I need to answer.

Unfortunately, the brand has also been dealing with QA issues, and some models of AceMagic PC have been shipped with malware preinstalled…

Like this laptop I got…

So… How should we deal with this? Continue reading “AceMagic AX16 Pro Laptop: It happened to me too…”
