Today I have the chance to introduce a mini PC that is incredibly small, so much that it almost looks like a toy instead of something capable of running Windows 11. So without further ado, I’ll start this review by sharing the positives and, as usual, the aspects I consider negative.

As you can see, the ACEMAGIC M5 is very compact. It almost fits in the palm of my hand. Because of that, the main audience is people who move around frequently and need something truly small but still powerful enough for basic office work.
During the unboxing, I checked what was included. Along with the mini PC, it came with an HDMI cable, a power adapter, a VESA mounting bracket, and a user manual. It doesn’t include much, but you really don’t need more considering it’s a mini PC. Basically, all you need is a monitor to get started.
What components does the ACEMAGIC M5 mini PC have?

It varies a bit, but the standard version currently available comes with an Intel Core 14500HX processor, a 1 TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM.
For a mini PC, this honestly surprised me. It’s very generous, especially considering how expensive RAM has become.

Here I already have it up and running. The ACEMAGIC M5 comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalled, so you can start browsing the internet and downloading files right after completing the initial setup.
The fact that it includes a 1 TB NVMe SSD is amazing because it’s fast, really fast. Most mini PCs usually come with SATA SSDs, so this is a big plus.
Even though this is a small cube with solid components, it didn’t feel too hot to the touch. The cooling is quite good, which is very important. Without proper cooling, overheating would become a frequent issue, and that’s not something you want long term.
Another great feature is that it supports up to three 4K HDMI outputs, so you can turn this into a main PC with multiple monitors at the same time.
What did I like the least?
It does what it promises. It’s good for non-demanding programs and probably some low-requirement games like Fortnite on low to medium settings.
What I liked the least is that the internal cables are very close to the top cover when you try to open it. This mini PC can be upgraded, going from 1 TB up to a maximum of 4 TB. Because of that, I had to be careful when removing the top cover to check the inside, so keep that in mind if you ever plan to do it.
Is the ACEMAGIC M5 good for gaming?
I wouldn’t recommend this mini PC for gaming. It’s simply not powerful enough since it doesn’t have a dedicated graphics card. Instead, it relies on integrated graphics from the processor, which are enough for some modern non-AAA games.
People don’t buy a mini PC for gaming. They buy it for portability and the ability to move it anywhere without hassle.
The included components are enough to run video editing software in 4K, like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and similar programs, but not for modern games.
Is it worth it?
It’s a good option only if you’re really looking for something that fits in your hand and lets you work from anywhere without problems. It’s quite powerful for a mini PC, but again, it’s meant for a very specific type of user who will actually take advantage of it.
