I'm a fan of these N100 systems (I originally bought a CHUWI Larkbox X 100 for around $200 AUD when they were released in June 2023) and use one daily for my general web browsing, 1440p youtube playback (it supports both x265 and AV1 hardware decoding with output up to 4K 60Hz).
I've bought one of these KAMRUI units as I like that the SSD can be easily upgraded and this is the first N100 chipset system I've seen where the RAM isn't soldered onto the motherboard, so the geek in me wants to benchmark the system with faster DDR4 to see what (if any) performance difference it makes.
There is a tick box for a $210 discount on the amazon web page, click that and add to checkout to get it for $229.
I'll follow up when mine arrives on saturday.

Bugger. Oh well, at worst return for refund and keep an eye out for mini PCs on special - the N100s 16GB RAM are usually around the $200-250 price range across many brands. If more CPU / GPU power is needed then Asrock will be announcing their DeskMeet and DeskMini X600W chassis in the next week or two and they should pair well with an AMD 8600G CPU/APU - but the cost? Well it'll be probably 4-6X the cost of the n100 - but should handle 1080p AAA games at medium to high settings quite easily (from the leaked benchmarks).
