However, the device with Ryzen 7 H 255 is slightly superior, despite looking exactly same. Below are the avantages: -
The Ram support has been bumped up to 128GB (Due to newer firmware)
The HDMI port is 2.1 with 4K@120Hz output vs HDMI 2.0 4k@60Hz in the Ryzen 7 8745HS model
The USB4 Type-C port is capable of Power Delivery In from 65W-100W. So, if you have any USB-C Monitor or USb-C Hub which is capable of delivering 65W+ Power to the Host device, you can use that to power the whole setup without the providied DC Power Adapter.
However I always recommend doing a fresh windows install. Usually these companies just use some cracked windows image to rapidly install the OS, so its better to use your own
Community Reviews
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.

You are mistaken with your facts. It is a daughter-board in a Mac Mini. It is not proprietary, basically just the chips without a controller. You might be confused with the notebooks which are soldered. They can be upgraded by a professional. There are issues with upgrading in that you need two Macs to upgrade the unit as the restore process requires a second mac to help with OS install.
I treat both sides the same I assume the person has the knowledge to do what they want to do. Considering the first person as considering a MAC from the start I gave what I felt was an honest answer. Upgrading the SSD in both machines is surely a process most computer users would find difficult at best.

The brand ACEMAGIC had a major controversy in 2024 where they shipped Mini PCs with pre-installed spyware (malware) in the Windows recovery partition. Do not turn it on and log in to your bank or email. Create a Windows 11 (or Proxmox) USB installer on a different computer. Boot this new PC from that USB and format/wipe the entire hard drive (delete all partitions) before installing a fresh OS.
Once you do that, the hardware is perfectly safe and powerful.
If I went down that road I would have to write an encyclopedia of knowledge for every post. How many Windows PC users know how to Install the OS From scratch? Which drivers they might need to download before performing the install? Install an upgraded NVME SSD? Swap out ram? What if they want to install an alternate OS?

Similarly 24GB mac Mini Costs way more than this deal and that poster was asking something in the similar price bracket.
I am not even against getting a Mac Mini, if your work suits it, get it by all mean. I am simply stating the disadvantages of it which people should be aware of before buying it and that's it. But looks like Apple Fanboys have hard time to even accept those. Why just stopping it at 24GB Ram, pay even more to get 2TB SSD...who cares about costs.
