I actually purchased the AD08 MINI PC and find it to be a very powerful mini pc that has expansion capability, is well built, and doesn't have any bloatware. The only exception, perhaps, is the control for the LED's.
While this is not a "gaming pc" it is an exceptional PC for non graphic intensive applications.
I use it with Hyper-V to work on VM's as well as being a back up to my main PC.
I am not sure why the OP doesn't like this computer. Perhaps because it is a Chinese company.
I did contact customer support and they responded within 24 hrs.
If your applications fit my description above "non graphic intensive applications", I highly recommend the computer. I have been using mini/micro computers since 2009 and find this to be the most cost effective and powerful of the units I have used.
Before I retired, I worked with software VM's providing on site demo's as well as training. Since I traveled via air, I needed something that would fit in a computer bag. I have used Intel NUC's and Gigabyte I7 Brix. I wish this computer was around back in 2009.
