I did do a complete reinstall of Windows 11 on both and have not had any issues with that whole thing.
I had some problems with the Ace Magic when I first got it. The pretty LCD they advertised never worked and one of the USB ports was erratic - sometimes worked, other times just quit. I contacted Customer Support multiple times and never heard from them. However, given the minor issues I just kept using it.
For the prices I paid I would have to say I am happy with the two mini–PCs I bought - they certainly do save space on my desktop. However, with the lack of any response from Ace Magic Customer Support, I would not order another one of their products again.
This compact beast is ideal for a Plex Media Server, capable of handling 8–12 1080p or 1–2 4K transcoded streams with hardware acceleration (Plex Pass recommended for GPU transcoding). It's also great for multitasking, light gaming, or other home server tasks.
Key Pros:
Powerful Performance: Ryzen 7 8745HS (PassMark ~24,000) and Radeon 780M iGPU support multiple streams and modern codecs (H.264, H.265, AV1), perfect for 4K Plex transcoding.
Fast Connectivity: Dual 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports, WiFi 6, and USB4 (40Gbps) ensure smooth streaming and external storage expansion.
Generous Memory & Storage: 32GB DDR5 (upgradeable to 96GB) and 1TB SSD (dual M.2 slots, up to 4TB) handle large libraries and heavy multitasking.
Efficient Cooling: Dual fans and copper heatsinks keep temps ≤70°C, with a quiet 35W mode for 24/7 operation (~38dB).
Comparable Product: Beelink SER8 (Ryzen 7 8745HS, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD) retails for $500–$600, making the ACEMAGIC a steal at $360.
