This significantly outperforms the Intel N150 (nearly 3x: https://technical.city/en/cpu/Ryz...essor-N150 ), a very common mini PC chip, while using more power. It's not a speed demon, but would work for general productivity on a tight budget.
It's fine for the price point, but I recommend buying a cheap laptop with a modern CPU instead for 50% more.

It's an 8 core Zen 3 CPU?
The iGPU is good enough to play Fortnite and other ESport games.
As well as just about any game this is 5 years old. Such as Doom, Civ 6, etc.
I have a laptop with the 4800h & a 1660. I can still game if I turn off 1660.

bazzite, not identical but compatible specs to what a steam deck has. so basically you'd have a homebrew steambox.

Not bad, but definitely wipe it and reinstall windows first.

The coupon works with the 6800h option, that's the better option IMO.

Preloaded with chinese malware and spyware. Avoid
Amazing how this story, based on a small batch of Ace Magic PC's being tainted (allegedly by a rogue employee/contractor) persists. Even if they are all infected, a simple re-install of Windows solves the problem. I have 3 of this brand, and none of them were infected out of the box, but just to be safe, I reinstalled Windows before using them with my personal info. I would do that even for a Dell or hp!

Some of the malware and spyware is on hidden partitions or in the bios. Reinstalling windows won't help with that.

I also have been using an AceMagic mini-PC for about 18 months with no major issues. I reinstalled Windows, but I do that with every PC I get.

I did have problems with the built in LCD screen and one USB port being flaky - sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Multiple attempts to get help from Customer Support met with crickets. For this reason, I wouldn't buy any AceMagic products again.
