M1

This is more a question about the manufacturer, component/assembly quality control & brand. Indeed, heat dissipation does play a factor, although if one starts off with a poor quality product, the experience can only go down from there. Take your 5500U for example. The Lucienne Zen 2 5000 series (57

Products manufactured by CYX understand the MiniPC Union umbrella (Acemagic, Acemagician, Kamrui, NiPoGi, etc) have questionable build quality & customer service over the last couple years, noticeably once they switched from Cezanne/Barceló to the much cheaper Zen 2 Lucienne. Something that became e

I'm glad you asked this question. I bought the Matrix M1 so by default it comes with 16GB single-channel DDR5 RAM. I wanted to dual boot Windows and CachyOS which is a Linux distro. I do a lot of multi-tasking on both operating systems. I noticed when gaming I would experience the video lagging behi

I’d be a bit cautious with ACEMAGIC for a homelab “core” box, not so much because of performance but because of trust. Earlier this year they admitted that some mini PCs (AD08/AD15/S1) shipped with pre-installed spyware (Redline + Bladabindi) baked into the factory Windows image. Honestly, they, alo

First, the Ryzen 5 7430U is far from a Ryzen 7 5850U 7430U - 6-cores/12-threads / 4.3GHz boost / RX Vega 7 1.8GHz 5850U - 8-cores/16-threads / 4.5GHz boost / RX Vega 8 2.0GHz The 7430U is a re-badged 5625U, not known as a gaming powerhouse. From the disinformation, guessing it's one of the CYX budge

I’m migrating my plex server from my main pc because I want to learn Linux and docker, and also because I don’t want to have a bunch of extra processes running on my regular workhorse. I’m trying to decide on a mini pc but I’m getting confused on requirements. The mini pc will run plex and home assi

There is always going to be issues with the Chinese miniPC brands, even the better brands like Beelink, Aoostar, and GMKTec. But when you go to what would even be the next level down, like Trigkey, which is, I believe, part of the CYX who makes all the brands like Acemagician, Acemagic, NiPoGi, and

Acemagic M1 (the one with 6800H cpu is the same as you talk?) i just received it, it's quite noisy for my taste, I think I will try to mod it with a better fan. For the malaware part I did not even used the preinstalled OS, just formatted and installed nobara linux, I'm not a linux fan, but for my h

CYX manufacturered brands akin to Acemagic, Acemagician, Kamrui, NiPoGi, etc, haven't been known for build quality since the malware debacle more than a year ago. Considering that mPCs are little more than a laptop without a battery, display or HID, with integrated graphics sharing system memory, 32
