Good miniPC but not without some issues
Good mini PC for the price. It is good for what it is and runs applications very well. It set up easily and quickly, so no issues there. It has a very small footprint and is very quiet. It has generous ports and being capable of connecting 3 monitors is admirable, one even being a DP port. It is pretty fast for such a small PC, not the fastest, but very good for its specs.Two issues that keep this from being a 5-star review; Updates went smoothly (although when first starting the PC the updates had to be via WiFi and not the network port, per their instructions… reason unknown/not given). When doing the next system update, this particular PC would not install the update at all, even downloading the update and doing a manual update did not fix the issue. This still has not been resolved. All of the other 5 computers that are on the network updated without issue.The second issue was with networking with my other computers on the network. Using the setup user account, the miniPC would not connect to other computers on the network nor could it be seen by any of the other computers. After researching this, a second account was created and that allowed all other computers to see and connect to it. It also connected with all the other computers on the network properly. The reason for not being able to connect using the original user account is unknown still.Aside from these two issues, it appears to be a good reliable PC and I hope it is durable as well. Its benefits of having so many ports are what provided the decision to purchase.I decided to add a larger SSD and found a couple of issues. Doing a clone or migration of a new SSD and installing it in the HD0 slot did not work for me. I had to use the clone SSD in the HD1 slot before it would work. After trying different configurations, using different M.2 SSDs, I found that installing ANY SSD other than the original SSD would not work in the HD0 position. So I can only conclude that the original SSD in the HD0 slot is the only SSD that will work in the HD0 slot.I looked in the UEFI for a way to switch the boot sequence from HD0 to HD1, but that proved fruitless. Only Windows Boot Manager allowed me to switch the boot from HD0 to HD1, however, I still could not use a different M.2 SSD in the HD0 slot.Conclusion: If I ever need to change the HD0 SSD to a new drive (ie. the original SSD goes bad), I will not be able to do that. The HD0 slot will then be useless.Update:I decided to return this particular unit, which was accepted without question. I did, however, purchase another unit of the same kind (that's how much I really like this miniPC). The setup went pretty smoothly, yet when doing the Windows Updates this unit again hesitated failed the first time, yet completed OK the second attempt. I am a bit concerned about the next Windows System Update, whether or not it will actually complete without issues.Other than that, I have not had any issues with the new miniPC. I did NOT try to install the second SSD as the boot drive, but DID install it as a "storage" drive and redirected all of the Windows Library folders to go to the new drive. This is working out great.As for the next Windows System update (24H2), I'll have to see if it has a problem or not and will update this review as soon as it either completes or fails (probably next month). All other updates (ie. driver, .NET, Windows Defender, etc) completed without issue.One note in the "Product Information" for this miniPC, the specs state that this unit has 2 Thunderbolt connections, which it does NOT have. It has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, but that is not the same as a Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt ports have a lightening bolt next to the port. There are, however, 4 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports available.All in all, I like the miniPC, but will see how Windows System updates go in the future. I am still rating it a 4 at this time.Update after latest Windows System update KB5060829: The miniPC updated perfectly on its own, no interference needed. Therefore, I am giving this computer a 4.9 rating (it will show as a 5.0, but it did have its initial issues that required a return of the first miniPC). I do really like it and the second/replacement miniPC has been very stable and consistent in operation.

Great PC for a server or some games. Also pretty quiet.
Powerful PC! I use it when I travel for light gaming, even played Once human on low settings just fine. When home it makes a great little server, running Minecraft and other games on the server just fine.

A powerful unit
I bought this device for gaming only. It is not for Internet surfing, tv streaming, studying. It only function is to game. The processor does very well. It can play suicide squad at the lowest setting on a 4ktv. The graphics are still gorgeous. It was worth every cent. Get this computer as a gaming PC or as a temporary gamiing PC. This thing is powerful. It comes with 512 ROM to put large gaming files. This goes perfect with just a 4k tv with it on game mode. This is a must buy. It take a while for it to update our of the box, but it is worth it.Edit 5/26/2025: games it can play: judgement, suicide squad, final fantasy 7 remake, doom the dark ages, injustice 2, killer instinct, controlGames it can't play: final fantasy 16, final fantasy 7 rebirth

Not enough paperwork
The unit was easy to set up and works great so far but the only paperwork included is a tiny booklet stating the obvious "quick setup" procedure. But I plan on adding more RAM and there is no instruction on this. The ad says it can be expanded to 64 GB but there is no mention or suggestion of what to use, in what increments, or how or where to install it. The flashing lights are a distraction, but the unit is in a location where I can't see. There's probably a way to shut them off that I haven't discovered yet. If only there were a manual.

Excellent tech support, good deal on a Win11 computer.
Excellent little computer with loads of RAM (32GB)! The price was right, and I love using the AceMagic K1 for day to day activities. And, excellent tech support. I needed to reinstall Windows11, and it didn't have the correct drivers. AceMagic tech support emailed me the correct drivers to get it back to new. A very good deal on a Windows 11 computer.

pesimo rendimiento
Compre este producto, intente jugar algo basico pero el rendimiento no era el optimo, luego me di cuenta que viene con la VRAM fijada en 512mb y no hay manera de cambiarla, incluso viene desabilitada la opcion en la BIOS, esto ahce que en juegos como el CS2 vaya a menos de 50 fps en los menus

Great little box.
This is the second Acemagician mini-PC I've purchased. I use them as an entertainment/TV box. I never use Microsoft Windows, so the first thing I do is wipe the existing OS and install Linux. All works very well; however, know that there are no Linux drivers for the WiFi card that Acemagician uses. So if you want to use this as a Linux box, the preinstalled WiFi will not be recognized. One would need to replace the preexisting WiFi card, or add a USB WiFi adapter.

Beware "Triple 4k" display
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Picked this product because of price and description of features.Turns out that Display Port can only outlut 1080p (not 4k as advertised) while also driving 4k to HDMI port. Description says "Triple 4k display", and that is NOT TRUE. Returned product for refund. BTW, this seems to be an issue with nearly ALL AMD-based mini PCs using DisplayPort. Devices with Inter chips, or those with dual HDMI ports do not suffer from this limitation.
