The mini PC ships with a power adapter and cord, one M.2 2232 to 2280 adapter board, a SATA cable, a screw bag, and an internal 8010 fan as a “store gift”. The company claims the UDE RJ45 connectors allow the mini PC to deliver higher 2.5GbE performance than the typical 2.35 Gbps on other devices, and closer to 2.5 Gbps, but that claim seems dubious.
TopTon TP-X4F ships with Windows 11 Pro if you order it with RAM and memory, as opposed to the barebone variant, but the company says OPNsense 22.x, pfSense Plus, OpenWrt, ESXi, Proxmox, PVE, CentOS, and others should work provided is a recent version that includes drivers for the Intel i226-V 2.5GbE controller.
The mini is sold on Aliexpress for $345.85 and up with the price depending on the configuration. You can save a bit more using the Aliexpress mobile where you can allegedly get a $30 coupon together with a 4% discount.

I would love to play with these, but is there an option to acquire these router/firewall/etc. mini PCs in EU?
I’m not sure whether there are distributors for TopTon in Europe. But you can also purchase it from Aliexpress. It ships from China, but Aliexpress usually includes VAT so there should not be additional customs duties (TBC).
