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

I just bought this computer a few days ago, and it is not letting me past the point where it prompts to put a custom PIN on the computer when first setting up the PC with my wifi, Microsoft account, etc. I’m stuck at an infinite loading screen, and there’s no option to skip the PIN setup. I only put 3 stars rather than 1 star because the computer seemed fine otherwise (despite hardly using it) and perhaps I can get this issue resolved.

So I unboxed this, connected my wireless keyboard and mouse and a monitor, then plugged it in. The PC recognized my monitor and the keyboard/mouse combo and I was off. IF YOU DONT WANT TO USE A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT TO LOG INTO THIS PC, DO NOT CONNECT TO YOUR HOME NETWORK UNTIL AFTER THE SETUP IS COMPLETE.

I was looking for a mini PC that I could connect behind my television and this one seemed to fit what I was looking for.

Having two NICs, I purchased this to be a replacement PFSense firewall and proxy server. As of the begining of 2023, the hardware in this is too new for the current PFSense so, had to switch to the Dev version. This computer may seem over kill for a firewall but, with PFSense it is also a proxy server and so much more. So, if you want a PFSense firewall with this computer until PFSense 2.7 is officially released, use the Dev version.

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.

We got this mini PC for our family room where it gets good use. It is very light weight and comes with a bracket that allows you to attach it to the back of a monitor if you choose, making it excellent for tight or limited spaces. It runs very fast and Im able to run All the Office Business apps without any lags or problems. If you have a portable monitor this would be great for traveling as its very compact and light weight.

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.

This item has been with me for a very short time.

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.

I needed a replacement for an old desktop that had reached the end of its life.
