Even if you clean wipe the operating system to avoid malware in the ordinary drivers, you cannot do alike for the microcode / firmware.

My two cents are that this is a beast of a machine from a CPU perspective, but in such a beast, I am really disappointed that they only went with USB A 3.2 gen1 5gb ports vs. 10gb ports. That seems like a major miss on their part???

Is Ace Magic legit these days?  Every time I see the brand I remember the malware they had installed on their PCs, don't feel like having to do a clean wipe on a new machine so I just skip them.  I see quite a few deals I would seriously consider but the brand just raises red flags with me from that malware past.
