I primarily purchased this mini PC to replace my aging Raspberry Pi 3 which has faithfully been serving as my retro gaming console and media server in the living room. I had issues with games from the late 90s emulating well and streaming games from my much more capable PC on the other side of the house. Finding an RPi4 that is anywhere close to MSRP is impossible at this time, so for twice as much, I thought I would get a full-fledged Windows PC with a proper CPU. I am very happy with my purchase! This tiny PC serves my needs for retro gaming and HTPC with the bonus of being able to run some of the games the RPi3 couldnt handle natively without the need to stream from my other PC.

I am thrilled how easy it was to get this mini pc up in running. I’m not the most tech savvy and I did it effortlessly. I wanted this PC mainly for light business use and for creating documents. So far it has been great and perfect for my needs. It’s super quiet and very tiny which I like. Very happy with the speed and quality with this PC.

Like other reviewers my unit will randomly lose power with no warning whatsoever and you will lose data. This unit would be five stars if not for that issue alone. I bought this unit for the usb c power input and at first I thought it was my power supply but Ive tried several different ones and the unit will just randomly reboot for no reason every couple of days. Not while gaming or performing some intensive task, just sitting there idle and boom, the unit is all of a sudden turned off. Not sleeping or hibernating but lost power and now you have lost whatever it is you were doing. It doesnt even have the curtesy to reboot itself and you have to go and physically restart it. Such a shame.

This is being sold as a gaming PC. So if youre in this lane, then youre probably used to having to tearing down, rebuilding, replacing & troubleshooting your own equipment. Basically leaving you to your own devices & creativity when searching for answers. Being that this is an off brand, you are definitely on your own when it comes to support. So if having your hand held is a requirement, then I cant suggest getting into this system. Especial at over $500. However, if youre a tech or hobbyist that doesnt mind getting your hands dirty, then there is plenty of power here to do a lot of things. Just be prepared to go it alone.

The Acemagician AMR5 is a mini PC in an interesting form factor. At its heart, it’s a bunch of laptop parts that are crammed into a little desktop case instead. Aside from the small form factor, the other standout feature is that it has a knob that allows you to change the power draw of the included AMD 5600U between an eco-mode, a balanced mode and a performance mode. As performance increases across the range, so does power usage and cooling requirements. The blower fan that cools the processor can, similar to many laptop fans, get quite loud at full speed.

I bought this machine specifically because of the dual-NIC setup and relatively low power CPU and not for gaming. I got the one with the corner power switch because one of the NICs is Intel. There is another machine from the same brand with a dual gigabit NIC with the power button on the side panel, but both are apparently Realtek. This machine has one Realtek and one Intel NIC as advertised.

I used to Have Surface Pro 7 that connects to my 32 inches 4k UHD monitor. My surface pro 7 has 8 GB memory and is been utilized upto 70 to 80% of Memory and 30 to 40% CPU even with basic usage ( like opening Chrome, Edge watching youtube videos etc). I have purchased this Mini PC and i was amazed by the performance. It came with Pre installed Windows 11 Pro. This Mini PC has AMD Ryzen 5 5600U Processor with 16 GB Memory ( 2X 8 GB) and 512 GB Nvme SSD. This Mini Pc comes with 2X 3.1 USB A ports, 1 USB C port at front side and 2 USB ports, HDMI and DP port at back side. It has both 1 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps port speeds. I was blown away with the speeds of SSD. its giving me approximately 2000 MBPS Read and 1500 Write Speeds. I am constantly using only up to 30 to 40% Memory and 10% of CPU with basic usage. I am planning to upgrade to 32 GB memory in near future so that i can use more extensive applications. I dont see any Fan noise with basic usage. once in a while CPU fan kicks in ( only during installation of any applications). Office 2021 runs smooth. Wifi Speeds are not that great. I am using the device with LAN cable. I have installed the device to the back of my monitor so that to save space on my desk. This Mini PC has strong build and can connect upto 3 monitors. I have connected to 2 monitors and it works great

Small form factor makes this thing a mighty beast.When fully run the fans are still lower volume

This little pc is packed with great features and lots of power. It seems powerful enough for some gaming but I purchased this to use as a home theater unit. I have already installed a 2 terabyte hard drive using the videos that you provided for reference. I look forward to the things Ill be able to do with this!

Update: The power supply/charger stopped working. I had only used the pc a few times and I dont play high powered games. So it was very strange this was happening. I couldnt understand why the pc kept shutting off until I finally figured it out. I found a charger that worked.
