For those being downvoted, don't be gaslit. I tested a unit last year, post scandal manufacture. Same Redline clone malware, same custom install of Chrome with browser hijackers, same custom Windows with exploits on the recovery partition. Even a nuked clean reinstall of Windows I would not trust. It is trivial to deploy exploits to firmware, and I would not put it past this company for a single second.
Same goes for Kamrui, which is yet another AceMagic sub-brand with the same malware. There's a reason these brands are being constantly posted here, and it's not consumers finding deals...
Community Reviews
This Kron K1 mini PC stands out as a compact Ryzen 7 7735HS box with 24GB LPDDR5 and a 512GB SSD, and the price looks strong against recent mini PC deals and the cost of DDR5 memory alone. The 24GB soldered memory and integrated Radeon 680M make it appealing for light gaming, retro emulation, media streaming, Linux server use, and even local AI experiments. The main drawbacks are the non expandable RAM, the modest 512GB drive, and the 1GbE network port. Brand trust also comes up because of past malware and warranty concerns, so a clean Windows install is often treated as part of the setup.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, the price is viewed as strong for the specs, especially because 24GB DDR5 alone can cost over $200 and a similar-spec Kamrui Hyper H1 was $395 recently. The main caveat is that the same Kron K1 name has been used for different configurations, so the exact specs need to be checked before comparing past prices.
No. The 24GB LPDDR5 is soldered directly to the motherboard, so it is not removable or upgradeable. That makes the configuration fixed at purchase, which matters if you expect to need more RAM later.
The included 512GB SSD is usable, but 1TB is a more practical target because modern apps can exceed 100GB each. The motherboard can handle a Gen 4 M.2 drive, so an upgrade can also improve storage speed if the bundled drive is Gen 3.
No, the NIC is only 1GbE. If wired network speed matters, that is a limitation compared with mini PCs that include 2.5GbE.
Yes. The Ryzen 7 7735HS with integrated Radeon 680M can share the 24GB of RAM between system use and graphics, which makes it a workable entry point for local AI experiments.

What if I drop in a new SSD drive?
Or format the drive that comes with this unit?
Will that be safe then?
.
But I will tell you a story about a BIG company's that you love that sold devices with malware and viruses installed on their system...
THIS IS A FACT... Apple has shipped products with malware and viruses pre-installed.
AND...
n 2018, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that Chinese spies planted malicious, tiny chips on Supermicro motherboards used in Apple.
THIS IS A FACT!!! per Bloomberg Businessweek who I trust a hell of a lot more then any tech company.
So you can let apple get away with it but GOD FORBID this happens to Acemagic and it was not their fault... THEN YOU SAY F THIS COMPANY!!!
I will say this... due to how Acemagic has handled this incident, I think Acemagic is one of the best tech companies out there.

Lenovo has previously shipped consumer laptops with pre-installed software classified as adware or spyware, most notably the Superfish incident in 2014-2015.
HP has shipped computers with pre-installed malicious or highly suspicious software on multiple occasions.
eDellRoot (2015): Dell pre-installed a self-signed root certificate called eDellRoot on many PCs. This allowed attackers to mimic legitimate websites (like Google or Bank of America) to steal user information without the browser showing a warning.
ShadowHammer (2019): Hackers compromised the ASUS Live Update Utility, using it to push malicious updates directly to thousands of users' computers. This essentially turned ASUS's own official shipping/update channel into a malware delivery system
THE LIST CAN GO ON and ON and ON....
But I will TELL you the difference between Acemagic and ALL THESE OTHERS... Acemagic appoligized, found out why and remedied it. ALL OTHERS KEPT THEIR MOUTHS SHUT.
Again, I think Acemagic is a better company then Apple, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, Anker, etc...
And there is NO MALWARE in any acemagic pc TODAY!!! It was a one time affair that happened back in 2024, AGAIN, a virus search using Windows caught that virus on day 1.
