I seem to be the only reviewer interested in reviewing AceMagic products after the virus incident. People over-reacted to this, in my opinion. Acer, Samsung, Asus, LG, Lenovo, Dell... have all had this happen to them and, apparently, the public outrage died-out in a couple of months and then people completely forgot and continue to buy these big brands. But a small brand does it (who is also from China) and Americans treat this two year old dormant virus as though a bomb went off? Weird.
Anyway, enjoy the only review on YouTube of the F2A and consider this is a great time to save money and get a great deal from AceMagic during this PR crisis where they are going to be extra careful, offer extra value and encourage people to give them a second chance!

Video review of the F2A
Re: Video review of the F2A
Hey Carey, thanks for posting this video review. It was really long, and I skipped around to see what kind of things you did to merit that 2+ hour length, but it's pretty awesome that you spent the time to go into depth on it!
I saw that F2A on the AceMagic website, and I thought it looked pretty interesting... however I still feel put off by anything claiming "AI" since that's become the big tech buzzword in the last year, and I'm tired of all the hype. To me, in the end, this is a pretty powerful computer. That's what I appreciate most about it. Maybe I should check out the prices again.

Re: Video review of the F2A
Dear Carey,
thank you very much for your very courageous approach of reviewing the F2A, especially because it is currently the only source describing how to open the inside and the upper cover (starting at 01:04:30).
Your result that the M.2 NVMe drive (KINGSTON OM8SEP41024Q-A0) is running hot (at 01:34:23) is a detail I've observed myself in nearly idle operation.
According to your DiskInfo screenshot the drive is of "NVM Express 1.3" standard; this explaines the DiskMark results you've documented.
If you might find the reason why the KINGSTON OM8SEP41024Q-A0 is running hot inside the F2A I'd appreciate if you would publish the reason.
