ACEMAGICIAN [Mini Gaming PC] Mini Computers Ryzen 9 6900HX[up to 4.9Ghz], 32GB DDR5 512GB NVMe SSD Mini PC with AMD Radeon 680M, RGB Lights/WiFi6/BT5.2/Dual Channel/3 Modes Mini Desktop

Great as a back up computer
I bought this as a back up for my main computer that I also use as our Plex server. The Ryzen 7 5700U is very fast and meets or exceeds my browsing, productivity and video viewing needs. The game playing is pretty good considering that the integrated Radeon graphics are a bit anemic with only 5 cores and a max of 1900 MHz. No you won’t be playing AAA titles on it. But older titles with scaled back expectations and settings are playable. I like puzzle type games (think PopCap and the like) and they run great.I got the unit in a flash deal for $254.00 and I feel like I got a great deal indeed! Everything worked fine the WiFi, Bluetooth, 2.5mm sound, the very crappy built in microphone – well just everything worked right out of the box. It was a real treat to have gotten something like this for such a great price.Unlike other reviews I was able to get to the Bios pressing the delete key at start up while using the HDMI port. I was prepared to use the Display Port. The Bios is pretty basic with many of the functions locked out. You will need a corded keyboard plugged into the back of the unit to navigate the Bios.I cloned the 500GB NVME drive using Drive Genius to an external holder holding a 2 TB KingSpec NVME. As the drive was fairly empty that process took only 10 minutes. I then opened the bottom of the case and found it to be pretty well laid out. The first thing I did was replace the 16 GB of RAM with a 32 gig set of Teamgroup 3200 speed RAM. I then swapped out the 500 GB NVME for the 2 TB clone I had made. Lastly because I was in there anyway, I installed a 1 TB Silicon Power SSD I wasn’t using for anything. It snaps into place on the bottom cover. The provided Sata Cable is very stiff and I took care to avoid smashing it up too much when putting the bottom cover back in place.Then on to the smoke test. After hooking up all of the cables I pressed the start button. Success! It booted right into windows. I again ran Windows Updates I noted that it’s Windows 22H2 so the unit did not go on to the latest Windows version 23H2 yet. My hardware changes were all shown in the Windows, system, about and showed the 32 Gigs of 3200 Ram and fully activated copy of the OS. Under Windows Explorer both the 2 TB KingSpec and the 1 TB Silicon Power drives were shown.After installing all of my programs that I normally use and setting up Windows to my liking I again cloned the C Drive using Drive Genius to the external holder holding the original drive. That FREE program is great. It cloned the system drive (with all 4 partitions) from the 2 TB drive to the smaller 500 GB drive. It took only 20 mins. for about 100GB of the system and my installed apps. So now I have a initial backup if I ever need it.Just a note on booting to USB after selecting this option in the Bios. I found that the front USB 3.0 ports were not readable by the Bios but the two USB 2.0 ports in the rear were visible to the Bios. This and the keyboard only visible on the Bios on the rear USB 2.0 ports is similar to every PC I ever built. It appears that the front USB’s are from a header off of the MoBo while the USB 2.0’s in the rear are directly from the I.O. of the MoBo. I may be dead wrong on this but that’s how my PC’s and this ACEMAGICIAN Mini PC worked.12-22-2023 UPDATEI had some overheating issues with my unit and reached out to Acemagician’s After Sales support and customer support team. I also worked with the technical support team but couldn’t resolve the overheating. At this point it was agreed that the unit could be returned to their storefront on AMAZON for replacement as I am a PRIME member. Overall I am very pleased with my replacement machine and the excellent customer service I received. They went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied with my AceMagician purchase.Follow up Still happy with the unit. I wanted to say that my unit did not have a bogus copy of Windows 11 and did not come with Chrome pre installed. Just the normal new Windows start up. Region, Keyboard etc.I am sorry to hear that some folks had this happen to them though.3/9/2024 Helpful Hint – RE: Auto Reboot after AC Power interruption setup.I have fairly frequent power outages in my area and use this PC as a Plex server. So, power cuts are kind od a pain. After searching through the AMI bios I found the needed setting shown below for those that are interested.The Process:1.) Select restart in Windows 11 Start Menu2.) Hit delete key while computer is rebooting. NOTE keyboard must be plugged into a rear USB port.3.) When BIOS opens select ADVANCED tab using keyboard (The mouse did not work for me)4.) Scroll down using up/down keys to AMD CBS and hit enter5.) Scroll down (as above) to FCH Common Options and hit enter6.) Move selection from Reserved to Always On using arrow keys and hit enter7.) Select Save and Exit Function key and hit YES8.) PC will boot on to Windows 11You can test this fix by unplugging the USB C Power plug, wait a few seconds and then reinstall the plug into the USB C port. The PC will start automatically.The PC will not automatically restart if shut down within windows or a hard shutdown is done by pressing the power switch until it shuts down.Your PC, when off, will start normally when the start button is pressed

Great little computer
I got this mini computer mostly for my tasks working at home, and I am surprised how powerful is it. Though it’s geared for gaming, I needed something that could be reliable, faster and affordable–I got this in a special deal under $400 when I could get a regular desktop gaming computer for over $700.After one month, it can support tasks proper for graphic designs, word processor, very smooth in web sailing and video streaming. I didn’t try gaming yet, not a gamer actually, but I might try one day.I confess I was hesitant in getting it, but after all it was a pleasant buy and very recommendable. I didn’t have any problems in the setup. But yes a bit with the video wiring installation–USB C, HDMI–but it was because of my monitor.I have a gaming laptop that used to be my main working center, but this mini computer replaced it.

Commandé et reçu très rapidement.Très facile à installer windows 11 pro un plus en version 23h2 mis à jour en 24h2 très bien passé.excellent rapide et ne chauffe pas du tout.Excellent matériel.Achat que je vous recommande.

Un bon ordinateur pour les tâches de bureautique: fiable, consommant peu et très silencieux. Son format compact permet de le ranger derrière l’écran ce qui est très pratique pour la gestion de l’espace. Ayant dû formater l’ordinateur j’ai pu compter sur l’assistance technique d’AceMagician tant pour la clé Windows que pour me procurer tous les drivers nécessaires et ce dans un temps record. Merci à eux !
