ACEMAGICIANMini PC, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake N95(up to 3.4GHz), 16GB DDR4 RAM 512GB M.2 SSD, Windows 11 Pro Mini Desktop Computer Support 4K Dual Display/USB3.0/WiFi5/BT4.2 for Home Office Business

[ACEMAGICIAN Mini PC, Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake N95]This mini pc is great. Plugged in the cables, turned it on, works perfectly. It's a "Plug n' Play" pc. Win 11pro preinstalled and preactivated. No bloatware to uninstall. Super quiet. I hear the fan during boot up then it quiets down to a whisper once Windows is loaded. It's on all day and evening and sometimes all night too, it never gets hot. The air coming out of the vent is barely luke warm and the top of the pc is cool to the touch, this is after being on for 24hrs and using it occasionally during that time. This PC runs Win 11 perfectly, Amazon pages load nice and fast (haven't seen that for years). I also have to mention Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 which I bought around 2006 installed smoothly, no hiccups.

This works great! I got the n5095 model and I t fits perfectly as my shop pc and windows11pro is really quite customizable! I am able to run several programs at once including Inkscape, Lightburn, as well as Designspark Mechanical! - I’ve had excellent luck with this and it’s even got an expandable port connection with space for an SSD that can be connected by quickly removing the face plate (has a release button on the side for quick access) - it has four USB ports, (two of which are 3.0), two HDMI ports, and an Ethernet connection port as well - if you open the face plate lid, it’s actually got a usbC connection in there as well! - Definitely a huge win for me 10/10 pleased with this one - Update: customer service from them has been top notch for me!

Right off the bat, if you are expecting this to perform like a tower unit setup for gaming, then do not get this mini PC.But, if you are looking for a mini PC that can handle the less graphic intensive games, then this mini PC is for you. This mini PC will handle your office software well and your less graphic intensive game. It was very east to install a 1T 2.5" hard drive. I was able to connect the computer to my local network via W-fi and wired connections. In addition, I was able to setup and access the computer remotely.All and all I'm quite happy with this mini PC.

I was skeptical about this purchase but I made it anyway. This is a fast little beast. I use it as my media stream PC. I have it behind my big 65" TV and I can't even hear it. It's easy to set-up and the price point is perfect considering the quality. The case feels like metal and plastic. It's fast enough for what I want it to do plus I added a SDD. Great Quality Product 👌

This review applies to the Ace Magician AD03 system configured with 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SATA M.2 SSD.A friend of mine purchased one of these machines and tasked me with performing the initial setup of the system for him.I was so impressed with this little machine that I purchased one for myself.I should first point out that I am no newbie when it comes to Windows PCs. In my career I have configured and worked with literally thousands of systems. Before I ever touch a machine, I have a really good idea what to expect based upon the specifications of the system. However, this little system caught me by surprise. To begin, this is the first system that I have ever used using the brand new (in March 2023) Intel N95 CPU. For those not familiar with this CPU, this is the successor to what Intel used to call the Celeron and Pentium CPUs. They have done away with the Celeron and Pentium designations and replaced them with the N series of CPUs.Now, I used plenty of Celeron and Pentium CPUs in the past, but I've always found then to be rather disappointing in performance. Don't get me, I would never expect systems based upon those CPUs to be high performance systems, but I've found that they can be frustratingly slow even in just basic day to day tasks. That changes with this CPU.Let's start with the initial setup of this machine. The setup right out of the box is very quick and simple. It should be easy even for beginners. There is not one single piece of "bloatware" on the system. Just a pristine, clean copy of Windows 11 Pro, which I greatly appreciate.The first thing that will likely catch your attention is that everything in this system is quick and snappy. Switching between applications or starting new applications is quick and fluid. Playback of videos, even those compressed with more demanding formats such as HEVC (H.265) or VC1 play back smoothly without stuttering even at a 4K resolution.I even installed a copy of Plex Server on this system to see if I could successfully serve video from this system. To make the task a bit more demanding I configured Plex on my TV so that it would require transcoding of the video from this computer, and it handled that just fine. NOTE: Enable hardware transcoding in Plex for best performance.For those not familiar with the N95 CPU, it uses 4 of the new Efficiency Cores that were introduced with the 12th generation Intel CPUs, and I credit this with the increased performance over the previous Celeron and Pentium CPUs.ExpandabilityEven in this very small system, it is possible to add or upgrade several components.SSD: The SSD that ships with the system is a SATA M.2 model. Should you wish to so, you can upgrade this to a larger SSD. However, you should be aware that you are limited to a SATA M.2 SSD as this system will not accommodate an NVMe SSD. However, in a machine of this class I hardly see that as a problem. The system can also accommodate a 2.5" hard disk or SSD in addition to the M.2 SSD already present in the system.RAM: If you purchase the system that has 8 GB of RAM, you can replace the single RAM module with a 16 GB module in the future, should you wish to do so. The maximum amount of memory that this system can accommodate is 16 GB.WiFi adapter: This was the one part of the system that I thought really screams for an upgrade. The Realtek WiFi 5 module that ships with the system was, in my opinion, very poor performing. Fortunately, this is very easy and inexpensive to remedy. In my case I purchased an Intel AX210 WiFi 6e module from Amazon for about $20 (US) and I now have just slightly better performance than I would over Gigabit Ethernet when paired with a WiFi 6e capable router.TIP: The WiFi adapter is located just beneath the M.2 SSD, which in turn is located just below the 2.5" drive sled. There are only two screws needed to open the case. Remove those screws and slide the front face and top of the unit forward and then up - extremely easy! Then, 3 screws will allow removal of the 2.5" drive sled. Finally, one more screw holds down the M.2 SSD and then you have access to the WiFi module. When replacing the WiFi module, be aware that there are two antenna connections. Before you disconnect those antennas take careful note of which antenna goes to which connector. Both wires are black and so it can be easy to mix up which one goes where. These antenna connections are tiny so be sure to be patient and careful plugging them into the new WiFi module. A good pair of glasses with some magnification can help here :-).Unique ConfigurationSomething that I have not noticed on other mini PCs of this class is the fact that this system has 2 Ethernet adapters. It so happens that I like to run the occasional Virtual Machine and my preference is to assign one Ethernet adapter to my Virtual Machines and another to my physical machine so that the two are not sharing the same adapter. This configuration allows me to do that. I know that this may not be something that most people do, but it's a nice touch for those who do.SummaryEspecially for the price, I find this to be a very impressive machine. No, you are not going to be playing high-end games on this system, but that is not what you are getting a system like this for. For your normal daily tasks such as running office applications, browsing the web, even running a Virtual Machine or two, this little box runs surprisingly well.Now you know why I ran to get one of these after I got a chance to play with one.
