How are you finding the AooStar R7? I have had my eye on it for a while but not much talk about it outside of YouTube reviews
They’ve been rock solid so far. Even through the initial sync from my old file server (pretty intensive network and disk usage for about 5 days straight). I’ve only been running them for about 3 months so far though, so time will tell. They are like most mini pc manufacturers with funny names though. I doubt I’ll ever get any sort of bios/uefi update
