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 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.

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.

This mini computer is perfect for gamers. For the size the speed is good. I love the fact that it comes with windows 11 and a few other programs. It is very easy to set up. Its lightweight and small enough that you can carry it around with you if need be. I love the size of this because you wont have any space taken up like the other towers. Great price for it.

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

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.

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.

Theres a nice little warning sticker on the top of the unit thats, well, confusing but seems to suggest that you should skip wireless connectivity to create a local account. This well also bypass any setup updates.

This PC is quite amazing, especially for the cost. It has Windows 11 on it and does not have a lag. Right now, it is handling standard work things and gaming. We are currently running Steam gaming and it works well. The system seems to have a little trouble with Oculus VR rendering, but the system works well beyond that.

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.

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.
