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

The first trick out of the box with this Mini PC is that Ace is not Acer which makes gaming computers and laptops, which I have used over the years and would recommend for gaming and other personal or work needs.

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 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+

The Display Port does not work. The HDMI port works fine. Amazon sent a replacement the next day, the Display Port on the replacement PC does not work either.

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.

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.

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.

I use it as a compute server over VNC (its headless). I dont care for Windows 11 but am getting used to it.
