ACEMAGICIAN [Dual LAN] Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 5 5625U (6C/12T, up to 4.3Ghz) 16GB DDR4 512GB SSD Mini PC Windows 11 Pro, 4K@60Hz Triple Display Mini Desktop Computers Portable WiFi 5 Bluetooth

I happen to have that extra drive and figured I would try it with this little PC. Extra storage space already! Now, this isnt as fast as my HP laptop, but I have been obsessed with always having a backup computer as Ive been confronted with the blue screen of death more than once in my life. Not a good thing! My backup before now was a decent tablet that could do many things...but not all, obviously. Now, I do have a 13 screen that I attached to this bitty PC and of course, attached a small keyboard and mouse. It is Windows so that gets me away from trying to work through an Android tablet if my laptop goes down. The nice thing is how small and easily stowed this PC is. I mean, yeah, a laptop is easy to store - its slim and easy to carry - but for what this PC is, Im impressed with it!

This computer is so great! Honestly, my only negative is that the graphics are lacking. The picture overall is very crisp... just seems slightly outdated.

Comes well packaged. Very small form factor rough measurements 6x5x3in. Has RGB on the side triangle cutouts, top logo and power button if youre into that. Comes with power brick and hdmi cable. Has plenty of USB ports, HDMI, wifi and wired ethernet. Even has USB-c and Display port which I was not expecting. The SSD is SATA m.2 style with heatsink attached and the side lid does pop open to allow a second. The power button also rotate and has 3 modes, silent/auto/performance. You can also upgrade ram but considering you cant really add a GPU the 16gb is plenty for everything this thing can do. Ran Cinebench r23 with the 10 minute run time. On silent mode it did 5400pts and on the highest performance mode it did 8100pts. There is definitely some throttling down and power savings to be had on the low setting if you dont need the extra processing but considering its a 64watt power brick and how silent this thing is I just keep it on the highest setting. You wont be able to push newer games on the highest settings or high frame rate at 1080p but youll be able to do a lot of games on medium settings and still be able to average 60fps. For the price you can build better but it wont be this small. If youre looking for small form factor this packs quite a bit at the price range. If you want performance and ability to expand in the future a full sized tower would be better instead. Depends on need but this is priced competitively for what it is.

My initial review was written after 30 days of use. Six months later it is time for an update.

Built in 2 Lan ports can be using as vm host.

The Ace Magician is a great mini PC that comes with 12GB of ram, 256GB of storage and Windows 11 Pro pre-installed. What more can you ask for at that price point? Setup was simple. Just connected a keyboard, connected a monitor, power and it booted up quickly.

This is a nice small form factor PC with Ryzen 5 horsepower.

Synopsis: This is a great little PC perfect for lots of applications

Pro: I paid $313 and it is well worth it. Fast and compact.

1 day after getting this the computer just shuts down randomly. Multiple times a day even while in the middle of working on it. Very disappointed as the size and noise is awesome.
