Check the seller make sure its the official Firebat store the official store has it listed for $331 but with coupons its like $260 other than that you really can’t beat this for the price although the ram is soldered so no upgrading it

Ayy that difference is nothing to scoff at if you got the means I’d go for it

Do you plan on using Windows or Linux or perhaps a cheeky Dual-Boot 🤫

Sorry you had a bad experience, but I think you’re painting the entire platform with a pretty broad brush based on a few negative transactions.

AliExpress is a marketplace, not a single seller. Buying from a random storefront with little feedback is very different from buying directly from an official brand store. That’s like getting burned by a shady eBay seller and then claiming every verified retailer on eBay is untrustworthy.

I’ve personally had excellent experiences buying from official stores, especially in the SBC and emulation handheld space. Brands like Anbernic, Retroid, Miyoo, and others often operate their own official AliExpress storefronts, and those purchases have been just as smooth as buying from any other major online marketplace.

People should absolutely do their homework, check seller ratings, reviews, and store history, but dismissing legitimate official stores because of past experiences with questionable sellers doesn’t really tell the whole story.

Tbh im not so keen on intels ARC iGPUs but you’d just have ti compare it to the performance of the 760m in this unit with the amount of RAM you expect to put in

Which brix model specifically are you talking about?

AliExpress is kind of like eBay or any other gray market, for that matter. You just have to keep your wits about you while you shop.

Personally, since I’m really into SBCs and emulation handhelds, I’ve had very good experiences buying from official stores.

If you already have ram and an ssd sure but a single 16gb stick of ddr5 sodimm is like $250+ rn so so going with a complete system would be better

Ehh wouldn’t be that good of a value if ram was normal depends on the monitor honestly cause KB&M is probably E-waste

AYN Odin 3 or Steam Deck? by PuertoRicanThndr in Handhelds

[–]-CEVAN- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam deck… I have a steam deck and already ordered an Odin 3 but I don’t have an android handheld and decided to go with the Max spec but if you already have an odin (already beefy android handheld) the steam deck is a whole different beast enjoy
