As technology evolves, more users are ditching conventional and bulky computer towers in favor of compact, space-saving alternatives. These compact systems are becoming increasingly powerful and feature-rich, some even capable of delivering a comfortable gaming experience. The latest addition to this trend is the ACEMAGIC Mini PC, which comes with an integrated front screen.
Intel‘s NUC division and ASUS have been key players in promoting Mini PCs. ASUS, in particular, boasts an extensive lineup of these compact computers and has remained at the forefront of the NUC division.
The demand for Mini PCs has been on the rise, mainly because many users prefer to avoid the hassle of dealing with large computer towers. Mini PCs offer a compact solution and can even be discreetly mounted behind a monitor using VESA mounts. These factors have captured the attention of users seeking efficient and space-saving computing solutions.
Mini PC with an Informative Front Screen
In a market where most Mini PCs tend to share similar external designs, ACEMAGIC has set itself apart by crafting a unique device featuring its own design and an innovative front screen. This screen serves as a valuable information hub, displaying key system details such as temperature, processor and RAM usage, and power consumption.
While details about this Mini PC are somewhat limited, it is currently available for reservation on the manufacturer’s website. According to the available information, the device is powered by an Intel N95 processor, a low-consumption quad-core chip clocked at 3.4 GHz.
The Mini PC is equipped with 16 GB of RAM, although specific details about the RAM type and frequencies are not provided. Additionally, it offers a choice between a 512 GB or 1 TB SSD, with details about the format and connection standards left to interpretation based on available images.
The front of the device features an RGB strip, although it remains unclear if users can customize or control it in any way. The rear of the Mini PC includes two HDMI ports of unspecified versions and two Ethernet ports for which details are lacking. On one side, it appears to have two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports, notably without a USB-C port, which may be considered a drawback.
Information about the WiFi and Bluetooth versions integrated into this computer is also missing, although WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 would be typical expectations.
Pricing and Availability
As of now, the ACEMAGIC Mini PC is available for reservation exclusively on the ACEMAGIC website and has not yet officially launched for sale. The available model features 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD, priced at $299. While there is no listing for the 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD variant, it is expected to be priced at $269.
Considering its features, especially the informative front screen, the Mini PC offers a reasonable price point. It’s worth noting that the front screen may be less relevant if the Mini PC is mounted discreetly behind a monitor, particularly given that it is not intended for gaming and primarily serves temperature and consumption monitoring purposes.
