ACEMAGICIAN Ryzen Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 5 5600U(up to 4.2GHz) 6C/12T, 16GB DDR4 RAM 500GB SSD Mini Computer, AM07 Mini Business PC USB-C, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Windows 11 Pro, Support 4K@60Hz

This is the third mini PC we own and I love that they are so small but powerful. This Acemagician took about 10 minutes to plug in, hook up and start using. In one of the pictures you can see that right after setting it up through the windows setup, it immediately let me know there were updates and started doing them. It was fast and I was back to browsing within a few minutes.

everything we needed it to be. Very Pleased.

This style of mini PC was popularized by the Intel NUC - I own two NUCs plus a GEEKDOM NUC-clone and love them. This Ace Magician mini-PC isnt in the same league, build-wise, as the NUCs or even the clone, but the configuration is the minimum I would recommend to anyone (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD). Im an Intel guy, so am not intimately familiar with the AMD lineup, but the Ryzen 5 5600U is a decent midrange processor with good integrated graphics.

My principal use for this PC will be to run Microsoft Office Word, Outlook, sometimes PowerPoint, and rarely Excel; I will view websites with it, and I will stream videos and music with it. So, if youre looking for a review by a hardcore gamer or a tech-savvy critic, you need to look elsewhere.

I have a small business that specializes in destruct testing. We use Mac computers for our engineering group and Windows for the regular business side. We wanted to add a computer on a kiosk in the waiting room where customers could come in and look at films of some of our testing over the years. So, it was important to have Wireless capability for the network and for the keyboard/mouse and that the form factor be small.

This is an inexpensive upgrade for older desk tops, where you already have one or more monitors. Its very fast for routine tasks and works fine on simple games and video.

This Mini PC is a perfect for heavy multitasking as the Ryzen 5 5600U provides plenty of performance not only for work tasks but you’re also able to use this for gaming which makes this ideal for playing games using a TV. For most users 16GB is plenty of memory and 500GB SSD is decent for most home/home office needs. What makes this Mini PC better than others is you have dual ethernet ports, if you plan to use this as a media server such as pairing this with a USB TV tuner stick this would be a perfect compact DVR setup.

I really like this small form factor PC. The performance is excellent and trumps my larger boxed machines. I use it mainly for Adobe graphics-related projects and have had no issues. It is ultra quiet and very adequate for most needs. A+

Let me start this out by confessing that Im not a techie by any stretch of the imagination. So Ill leave the nuts and bolts to the more qualified. Im just a guy who cant even remember the last desktop I purchased. But I still recall the thrill of walking into a store and plunking down 2k on a Compaq that couldnt do a quarter of what this baby can.

The performance of this machine is better than I expected it to be. It runs Windows 11 quite well. I am using this machine to run my Plex server and it does fairly well transcoding the videos and serving them up.
