Wasted 2 month trying to buy X55 from three different Aliexpress stores. This is my worst experince for 10+ years buying from Ali!


All 3 stores shipped nothing and provided fake tracking numbers, so you have to wait additional 10 days before opening a dispute and try to return your money.
They are constantly changing item urls, so you can not see the negative feedback on actual items you buy.

Here are the store names (All of them are 2 year stores with 98%+ ratings) :
Ant Tech Store
AG Elec 666 Store
Cherishup daily eletronic Store

I bought mine (Gemini x45 premium.) from "A Shocked Store" Aliexpress.

Link: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/2541001

It arrived perfectly, and it's working flawlessly.
You should try this store.

I'm very satisfied and the X45 is working perfectly.

You should try this store. ;)

I can confirm, that AG Elec 666 Store does not have the PC. I have also tried BANGOOD STORE (on Alieexress) and they do not have it either :(
I would love to buy this PC under 250$, but it is hard...

I bought my X55 from GearBest, who appears to be out of X55s at this time.  It was US$249 then.  Shipping seemed lengthy and the tracking service was poor.  I've solved most of my problems with the X55 through my own efforts.  I do wish it supported operating systems other than Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18 as I dislike both.  How it performs as a "television computer" (limited HTPC) will determine whether I try to return it or leave it as my 24/7 "seed box" for Linux distribution .ISOs other than Ubuntu.

Looks like shortage indeed, it is sold out everywhere: Gearbest, Bangood, Aliexpress, Taobao.
Intel NUC NUC7PJYH and Asrock boards are in stock everywhere, though.

Got mine from Amazon which is handy as it wont cost me anything to send it back!
Too many time consuming issues for my liking that haven't been resolved and support is next to useless.  
One of those issues are the Mega file hosting site that we're forced to use.

Too many time consu ...

X55 is $340 on Amazon.
For $400 I can get 2.5 times more powerful i5-8250U mini pc from China with the same amount of RAM/SSD.

$230-240 is the top price I'll pay for X55 now.
