ACEMAGICIAN S3A Mini PC, Ryzen 7 8745HS[up to 4.9Ghz], 16GB DDR5 512GB NVMe SSD Mini Computers with AMD Radeon Graphics 780M, RGB Lights/WiFi6/BT5.2/Dual Channel/3 Modes Mini Desktop

Good mini PC for the price. It is good for what it is and runs applications very well. It set up easily and quickly, so no issues there. It has a very small footprint and is very quiet. It has generous ports and being capable of connecting 3 monitors is admirable, one even being a DP port. It is pretty fast for such a small PC, not the fastest, but very good for its specs. Two issues that keep this from being a 5-star review; Updates went smoothly (although when first starting the PC the updates had to be via WiFi and not the network port, per their instructions… reason unknown/not given). When doing the next system update, this particular PC would not install the update at all, even downloading the update and doing a manual update did not fix the issue. This still has not been resolved. All of the other 5 computers that are on the network updated without issue. The second issue was with networking with my other computers on the network. Using the setup user account, the miniPC would not connect to other computers on the network nor could it be seen by any of the other computers. After researching this, a second account was created and that allowed all other computers to see and connect to it. It also connected with all the other computers on the network properly. The reason for not being able to connect using the original user account is unknown still. Aside from these two issues, it appears to be a good reliable PC and I hope it is durable as well. Its benefits of having so many ports are what provided the decision to purchase. I decided to add a larger SSD and found a couple of issues. Doing a clone or migration of a new SSD and installing it in the HD0 slot did not work for me. I had to use the clone SSD in the HD1 slot before it would work. After trying different configurations, using different M.2 SSDs, I found that installing ANY SSD other than the original SSD would not work in the HD0 position. So I can only conclude that the original SSD in the HD0 slot is the only SSD that will work in the HD0 slot. I looked in the UEFI for a way to switch the boot sequence from HD0 to HD1, but that proved fruitless. Only Windows Boot Manager allowed me to switch the boot from HD0 to HD1, however, I still could not use a different M.2 SSD in the HD0 slot. Conclusion: If I ever need to change the HD0 SSD to a new drive (ie. the original SSD goes bad), I will not be able to do that. The HD0 slot will then be useless. Update: I decided to return this particular unit, which was accepted without question. I did, however, purchase another unit of the same kind (that's how much I really like this miniPC). The setup went pretty smoothly, yet when doing the Windows Updates this unit again hesitated failed the first time, yet completed OK the second attempt. I am a bit concerned about the next Windows System Update, whether or not it will actually complete without issues. Other than that, I have not had any issues with the new miniPC. I did NOT try to install the second SSD as the boot drive, but DID install it as a "storage" drive and redirected all of the Windows Library folders to go to the new drive. This is working out great. As for the next Windows System update (24H2), I'll have to see if it has a problem or not and will update this review as soon as it either completes or fails (probably next month). All other updates (ie. driver, .NET, Windows Defender, etc) completed without issue. One note in the "Product Information" for this miniPC, the specs state that this unit has 2 Thunderbolt connections, which it does NOT have. It has a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port, but that is not the same as a Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt ports have a lightening bolt next to the port. There are, however, 4 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 ports available. All in all, I like the miniPC, but will see how Windows System updates go in the future. I am still rating it a 4 at this time. Update after latest Windows System update KB5060829: The miniPC updated perfectly on its own, no interference needed. Therefore, I am giving this computer a 4.9 rating (it will show as a 5.0, but it did have its initial issues that required a return of the first miniPC). I do really like it and the second/replacement miniPC has been very stable and consistent in operation.

I’ve been using this mini PC for a couple of months now, and initially, it was everything I hoped for—compact, efficient, and perfect for my everyday needs. But then, out of nowhere, I ran into a frustrating issue where it just wouldn’t boot up properly. I tried troubleshooting everything I could think of, but nothing worked. Feeling desperate, I hopped on Amazon today and reached out to the seller for help. To my surprise, they responded almost immediately and kindly asked me to send the unit back for diagnostics. No hassle, no endless back-and-forth—just straightforward support. Within a week, they had diagnosed the problem on their end and shipped me a brand-new replacement at no extra cost. The new one arrived quickly, and it’s working flawlessly, like nothing ever happened. This kind of customer service is rare these days, and it truly restored my faith in online sellers. Thank you so much for going above and beyond— you’re a great company, and I’ll definitely be buying from you again! Highly recommended.

After 6 months, I decided to write a review on this Mini PC. I love it. Plain and simple. It does everything that I need it to do with PLENTY of power. I have two monitors hooked up to it, a printer, mouse, microphone, OBSCam, ring light and other peripherals. I use it for gaming on lighter games, but it runs PZ , Rimworld, and smaller FPS games with ease and no lag. It is very durable, as I have traveled with it in my backpack and suitcase and it holds up VERY well. No issues at all. The graphics quality is exceptional for such a small machine. If you're looking for a starter machine for a kiddo, a secondary machine for extra work or gaming or just a replacement for a massive tower, this is it. Couldn't be happier.

To preface, I'm a remote customer service employee, and I handle customer calls, emails, and chat for my company. Recently my dedicated tower passed on to that great electromagnet in the sky. While I tried to use my backup, with changes that have occurred since I got the backup, it just could not handle the load. So, asking myself "Am I buying a toy or a machine", I ordered this mini-PC. I had NOTHING to worry about. When the box arrived, I had everything ready to go in minutes, and using an ethernet connection, getting the pre-installed Windows 11 Pro updated, which took about a half hour (your connection may result in better or worse results). The preinstalled 32gb of Ram made pages that used to be a little sticky on my tower fly by, and I have yet to see any sort of issue after a full week of work. Even works well with multiple browsers running multiple tabs, and handles a multiple monitor setup with ease. (during my first tests, I was able to stream a movie on Disney+ while running a Microsoft Excel file, and with my main work web browser opened with multiple tabs, and never skipped a beat). It's small. Much smaller than I realized. Early on I was worried it might overheat, without the proper fan setup, but my cable box gets hotter than my new PC. Make sure it's not buried, and it'll breathe fine. I have not tested wi-fi, but with everything else working so well, I expect it will be excellent. While it does have multiple USB ports, I should have considered getting one with two HDMI ports, but that was resolved with a Type C to HDMI adapter, which also got me a few additional USB ports as a bonus. Overall, my expectations for computers has been adjusted, and just because it's not a tower or desktop does not mean it's not a viable workplace option. Baby is a beast.

Un bon ordinateur pour les tâches de bureautique: fiable, consommant peu et très silencieux. Son format compact permet de le ranger derrière l'écran ce qui est très pratique pour la gestion de l'espace. Ayant dû formater l'ordinateur j'ai pu compter sur l'assistance technique d'AceMagician tant pour la clé Windows que pour me procurer tous les drivers nécessaires et ce dans un temps record. Merci à eux !

Prachtige mini pc. Zou voortaan niet anders willen. Niet alleen voor de ruimtebesparing maar ook omdat je geen 'bak' meer voor of naast je hebt staan. Er is van alles op aan te sluiten en als je niet genoeg hebt aan usb poorten kun je nog een usb hubje erbij kopen. Systeem start binnen no time op. Alles werkt razendsnel. Heb bv een fotobewerkingsprog wat op een vorige pc nogal lang duurde om op te starten. Nu staat het in no time klaar om mee te beginnen. Dus ook tijdwinst. Echt een aanrader om te kopen.

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Rechner. Einfach genial sind die Abmaße - der Rechner braucht so wenig Platz, das ist eine wahre Freude. Für mich war diese Kompaktheit, neben der Leistung und dem sehr günstigen Preis ein wichtiger Kaufgrund. In der Praxis: Einrichtung, Kompatibilität, Geräuschpegel: -Das Gerät bzw. Windows ist schnell eingerichtet -sämtliches Zubehör funktioniert einwandfrei, auch das, was nicht mit dabei war (Mouse, Tastatur, Bildschirm, Gamepad). Die Kompatibilität ist also top. -das Booten ist schnell -das Gerät läuft sehr leise bis nicht hörbar, es wird aber etwa lauter, wenn es ans Limit gebracht wird, was eigentlich eher bei aufwendigeren Programmen der Fall ist. Störend ist das Betriebsgeräusch des Lüfters aber keines Falls. Programme: -Surfen im Internet und Steaming funktioniert gut. -Ältere (Retro-Games) und einfache Spiele funktionieren, aber neuere, die eine separate Grafikkarte benötigen nicht. Die Onboard-Grafik ist für Spiele einfach nicht ausgelegt. Falls ihr zocken wollt, solltet ihr lieber zu einem Gaming-Computer greifen - meine Empfehlung. Aber achtet einfach auf die Systemanforderungen der Spiele und dann könnt ihr das schonmal ungefähr einschätzen. Demos gibt's für solche Zwecke ja meist auch. -Für Office-Anwendungen sollte das Gerät durchaus eine passable Leistung bereitstellen. -Videotelefonie funktioniert gut Zusätzliche Info zum Review: Ich habe den Computer nie wirklich im Dauereinsatz, sondern benütze ihn nur vereinzelt, da er für mich nur eine Ergänzung zu meinem Mac darstellt. Ich kann also nur zum Betrieb von bis zu 4 Stunden am Stück eine Auskunft geben, da ich mehr nicht benötigte. Fazit: Für meine Zwecke ist der Rechner mehr als ausreichend und dabei ist er super-kompakt. Kauft den Computer nicht, wenn ihr ein Gaming-Gerät erwartet oder generell Anwendungen verwendet, die eine separate Grafik-Karte benötigen. Wer nur einfache Anwendungen benützt, die den Grafikchip nicht zu sehr beanspruchen, der kann hiermit nicht viel falsch machen.

Je cherchais un mini PC du fait de son caractère compact et facilement transportable et en parcourant la boutique Amazon j'ai trouvé que celui-ci avait des caractéristiques intéressantes pour le prix. Ce mini PC est très bon pour une utilisation multimédia ou bureautique. Sur l’installation : Le montage au dos d’un écran se fait très facilement grâce au support VESA et à la visserie fournies, il est juste nécessaire de se munir d’un tournevis cruciforme classique, aucune compétence particulière n’est requise grâce à la notice fournie. Par ailleurs des câbles HDMI courts sont fournis ce qui permet une installation discrète sans avoir à se soucier du câble management. Facile à mettre à jour également au niveau de la mémoire. Une installation très facile : J'ai branché l'alimentation d'un côté, et de l'autre un concentrateur USB-C qui me sert aussi pour mon PC pro (Ethernet, HDMI, clavier, souris). Le PC a reconnu l'ensemble du premier coup ! On allume, on configure, tout se passe facilement et rapidement. Niveau sonore, rien à redire : Il est complètement silencieux, très compact, au point de pouvoir être glissé dans une poche. Livré avec un câble HDMI, une notice d'utilisation en français et un support qui permet de le fixer à l'arrière d'un moniteur, le pack est complet. Si vous avez un écran qui traîne et besoin d'une machine de bureautique d'appoint, ou pour les étudiants/enfants, cet ordinateur est vraiment très bien ! Ou pour une petite console de jeu ou du Cloud Gaming aussi !
