        people are really giving you the shits for this entire thread, seriously, props to you for keeping it together in these times and hope it works out, so what if youre trying out different business over the years, everyone starts off different and youre making it a good amount cheaper than the online ones as well, again dont care if its exactly the same personally as long as its cheaper.

      Under the legal definition we are allowed to say it's Australian made because it's been significantly transformed from all it's original parts, unfortunately Australia does not make and ram/processors/hard drives so they had to be imported from overseas but the design and manufacture was in Australia

        significantly transformed from all it's original parts

          The main board and the port layout are set by whoever created the main board. Assuming manufacturers want to keep a similar NUC layout, there won't be much different between each of the models. While those cases look similar, you can see it would require completely different moulds and has differences in the plastic such as smooth plastic versus a bobbly plastic finish.

          -EDIT-
          Hmmm, someone posted a link to an identical looking NUC on AliExpress.

    • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 06/05/2020 - 16:51

      No. We actually input our design's to a housing kit manifacturer, then got the motherboard, processors, ram, ssd etc ourselves, nothing to do with Taobao which I'm not a fan of.

    • CoronavirusVaccine on 06/05/2020 - 17:04

      Personally really like DeskMini A300 - especially having two HDD bays in addition to m.2. pity it seems to command a premium for what it is

      • Associatedphillipdi @ PhillipDi.com on 06/05/2020 - 17:21

        Yes very true, we only have 1 hdd bay and a m2 slot as well as 2 ram slots, some mini's only have 1 ram slot

        • CoronavirusVaccine on 06/05/2020 - 17:56

          By no means is this a criticism. Loojs like your lineup is similar to NUCs which have the same # of HDD bays.

            @phillipdi: Thanks. I think you would have a lot more luck and less hate if you go for the direction of offering these as something that you can get from AliExpress, but instead your offering is cheaper and has quality branded products as opposed to KingFast and all the lower tier branded prodcts you'd get from Ali.

            As opposed to the whole "we designed this, the housing etc." approach which doesn't seem to be true. There are many reps here who have success reselling Chinese products on Amazon/eBay with that approach.

        In the link "https://phillipdi.com/product/phd-intel-core-i5-7th-gen-13-3-8gb-ddr4-ram-256gb-ssd-hd-ips-laptop/" you also says "intel-core-i5-7th-gen" while listed as suspicious "Intel Core i5 8550u".

    The same configuration on the identical looking Aliexpress one is $912.25 + GST = $1003.47 with free delivery.

      Its easy if you don't see AliExpress as a supplier. Can easily go through Alibaba, taobao, factory direct or other suppliers to get everything cheaper.

      PC Case Gear and all those others aren't suppliers either. They get it from somewhere 😉

    A few questions for seller:

    Are all the components brand new?

    Is there an activated copy of Windows 10 Pro on the MiniPC?

    If I get 16GB RAM is that two 8GB sticks? I prefer dual channel.

      ALL the components are brand new, I'd be happy to throw in the packaging warranty paper and receipts if you like for the parts that we purchased here, there IS an activated copy of windows 10 pro and we do yes 2 sticks of ram for the miniPC's but the laptops are single-channel, your right dual channel is faster

        Truth is there is no major upgrades in processor technology. 10 year old i5 is as fast as recent i5. Any difference would be TDP - which would account upto ~$40 per year in energy savings per year - if left running idle 24hours a day.

        Your generation comment is baseless.

    Also do you have any plans to sell pre-built Linux systems?
