As of writing (June 25th, 2019), almost all the reviews here are five stars. If you read them carefully, youll notice that people talk about how they plugged the stick in, connected to the internet, transferred some files...and thats about it. Bluetooth pairing doesnt work at all. USB device connections are spotty, some devices like my keyboard and trackpad are fine, but others like the USB hub on my monitor dont work at all. If you go into Device Manager, youll notice a ton of generic devices, meaning that the necessary drivers arent installed. So right out the gate, large chunks of functionality just dont work. When you go to ACEPCs (the manufacturers) website to download the drivers, not only will you not find them; as of writing, you wont even find a mention of this computer. Thats right. There is no such thing as an "ACEPC T6." That model literally does not exist. "What the heck is being sold here," you might ask. Great question! Lemme know when you figure it out. Unfazed, I did some sleuthing and noticed that the specs of the "T6" and the W5 Pro, which is an actual ACEPC model, seem identical. Chances are that someone in Shenzhen decided to rebrand the same hardware with a slightly different case and forgot to update the website. Sketchy as hell, but what would you expect from a no-name Chinese compute stick manufacturer? Alright, so lets find the W5 Pro drivers and install those. Except that they dont exist, either. Instead, the ACEPC "support site," which consists of an online forum with posts that are 95% spam ads for porn sites and essay writing services, has one or two posts from some admin user named "Willis" with links to a Megaupload knockoff. Once there, you can download a ~4GB Windows 10 ISO that...I guess maybe has the drivers on it??? WTF With friends like these, who needs enemies?
