This ACEMAGIC mini PC stands out as a compact Ryzen 7 system with unusually strong value for the included 32GB DDR5 and 1TB Gen4 SSD. The H 255 version is described as the better variant, with HDMI 2.1 for 4K at 120Hz, USB4 power delivery, and support for up to 128GB of RAM. The USB4 port also works with Thunderbolt eGPU docks, and the machine has room for storage upgrades. Main cautions are limited port convenience, possible bloatware or a reused Windows image, and the usual uncertainty around support and brand trust.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes, it is considered far more powerful than Home Assistant needs. It makes more sense if you want extra headroom for self-hosting or home-server tasks, while cheaper N150/N95 mini PCs are suggested for HA plus Frigate-style camera use.

  • The Ryzen 7 H 255 version's USB4 Type-C port can take 65W-100W Power Delivery input, so it can be powered from a capable USB-C monitor or hub instead of the DC adapter. The same USB4 port can also be used with a Thunderbolt eGPU dock, though USB4 eGPU setups may lose some GPU performance compared with OCuLink.

  • The H 255 model is listed as the slightly better version: it supports up to 128GB RAM with newer firmware, has HDMI 2.1 with 4K@120Hz output, and its USB4 port supports 65W-100W PD input. The 8745HS version is described with HDMI 2.0 at 4K@60Hz and a 54W CPU TDP spec.

  • Yes, this mini PC is described as easy to upgrade for both RAM and SSD, and it is also said to have two NVMe slots in many configurations. That makes storage expansion possible by adding another drive instead of replacing the existing one.

  • A fresh Windows install is recommended to avoid bloatware and any vendor-modified or cracked Windows image. Reinstalling Windows is also described as a common first step on these mini PCs before putting them into regular use.

Dang it, I just ordered the ACEMAGIC W1 w/Ryzen 7 H 255, 32GB DDR5, 1TB last night for $475 from their site 🙃 I like this price much better though!
Given the price of 32GB DDR5 ram, these are the way to go. I have an ACEMAGIC AM06Pro w/Ryzen 7 5800U 32GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SSD I picked up in November for $239 for my home office PC and it's been great. I had a new Seagate FireCuda 2TB Solid State Hybrid Drive laying around that I installed in it as it comes with a 2.5" drive bay and an adapter to connect the drive.

I am in a similar situation as you. To me the biggest question is, why would I need another PC?

Can you hot swap the eGPU or do you need to reboot?

Any thoughts in how this compare with the Mac mini M4 that was, and still is, on sale at $400 recently at Microcenter/Best Buy (price matched)?
Both have good points and bad points depends on the software you want to run. This unit you can easily upgrade ram and SSD assuming you consider it affordable. I think it might have better bluetooth range if I recall correctly.

Mac Min runs MacOS. Mac Mini is not as upgrade-able, but you can upgrade the SSD. 16 GB of ram is a little bit more limiting in some situations. I rather have an upgradable system, but the bandwidth of the ram is nice. Overall performance in most situations goes to the MAC, but that means little if it doesn't run the software you need.

Overall if you are just a casual user of basic tasks I would likely suggest the MAC. If you are heavily Apple oriented, the Mac is likely a better choice. If you know what you plan to run simply pick the one that works best for you.

They should have made two USB ports (out of four) in the back into two USB C ports. Then, it's a smoking deal...

I have heard of people taking these no name mini PC's apart and finding the hardware inside is not what is stated on the spec sheets. Not saying this one is just something to look out for on mini PC's with unknown brands on Amazon especially I think

I am curious about this too. Let me know if you find an answer.
I successfully got Amazon to match through Chat. They will adjust the pricing once it ships. I also got a $31 promotion somehow (I think through the product page but am not sure), and I was able to get them to further agree to adjust the price down to the $440 shown through AceMagic.
Hope this helps

Does this seem like overkill for running home assistant on a home network? I would prefer this over raspberry pi.

Yeah they say that, but I've had more success than not just by being friendly and chatting and stating my preference to buy through Amazon. They usually work with me on stuff like this, but obviously YMMV due to their "policy".

This is definitely overkill for home assistant/automation

Match to take your money, not the other way around
