Beat my expectations being a mini computer. Easy to set up, really fast boot time. Easy navigation. Expandable memory& ram slots. Able to do every day tasks without lag or issues. Definitely a great value.

The Acemagician AMR5 is a mini PC in an interesting form factor. At its heart, it’s a bunch of laptop parts that are crammed into a little desktop case instead. Aside from the small form factor, the other standout feature is that it has a knob that allows you to change the power draw of the included AMD 5600U between an eco-mode, a balanced mode and a performance mode. As performance increases across the range, so does power usage and cooling requirements. The blower fan that cools the processor can, similar to many laptop fans, get quite loud at full speed.

I have an aging desktop that I build years ago for photo editing and light gaming. It can no longer run newish games without lag. I saw this and decided to see how it compares. Start up is fast and once I got Windows setup I installed a couple of games to test it out. I am not a hardcore gamer so the newest free game I have is Control (2019), but that is supposed to be graphics heavy. It ran smoothly with no lag, and the graphics compared well with the videos of gameplay online. It remained fairly quiet during play as well. I am impressed by its performance. The hardware itself is small and sleek, about the size of an external hard drive (prior to SSD). It has a good look and it lights up. Overall I am happy with this mini PC. It is in the right ball park for cost. The CPU is mainly found in laptops and if you build the laptop to the same storage and RAM it would cost more. Add in Windows 11 Pro license (minimum $70 extra) and this is looking like a decent deal. You dont get a screen, but at this price level the laptop is not going to have a nice screen. Electronics are always fluctuating in cost but at the time of purchase this seems like a reasonable deal for a fast and small machine.

This computer is so great! Honestly, my only negative is that the graphics are lacking. The picture overall is very crisp... just seems slightly outdated.

Got this to replace the desktop I am using to run Office and QuickBooks at my Karate school.

This is being sold as a gaming PC. So if youre in this lane, then youre probably used to having to tearing down, rebuilding, replacing & troubleshooting your own equipment. Basically leaving you to your own devices & creativity when searching for answers. Being that this is an off brand, you are definitely on your own when it comes to support. So if having your hand held is a requirement, then I cant suggest getting into this system. Especial at over $500. However, if youre a tech or hobbyist that doesnt mind getting your hands dirty, then there is plenty of power here to do a lot of things. Just be prepared to go it alone.

This is a good price point for a computer with a 5600U processor, but what really sold me on the unit is the connectivity.

Two of our three units and arrived as expected. However one of them arrived with no SSD installed, and with no windows key embedded into the UEFI. This one unit had to be returned.

You do have to buy your own sata disk as this does not come with one. After installing the disk this makes for a good back up PC. Its small enough to attach to the back of the monitor with the hardware provided. Not a bad pc

This is a very good mini PC let down somewhat by a lack of connectivity options. The 12GB DDR4 RAM is enough for complex Photoshop work, and the basic but capable Celeron N5095 processor is able to handle plenty without any stumbles, so on the face of it this is a very good option for a basic home computer.
