AOC AM16 Mini-PC Review: Is AceMagic Still Up to Their Old Tricks?

At least nothing is outright flagging as malware…

AOC is releasing a mini-PC in collaboration with Ace Magic. A nice little bucket of compute power, packed in a plastic shell. It’s solid performance, IF you can score one on a good sale.
But what about that software… Continue reading “AOC AM16 Mini-PC Review: Is AceMagic Still Up to Their Old Tricks?”

Geekom XT13 Pro Review: A Tiny PC that Packs a Core i9 Punch!

Geekom is back with another MIGHTY MOUSE PC!

We recently looked at the A8 which had an AMD Ryzen 9. Similar form factor, but there are a lot more differences than I was expecting.

We’re seeing a run on current gen Intel and AMD hardware, with some awesome sales. Who’s the right fit for Intel’s most powerful laptop CPU in a tiny box? Let’s take a look! Continue reading “Geekom XT13 Pro Review: A Tiny PC that Packs a Core i9 Punch!”

Geekom A8 Mini PC Review: A Ryzen 9 8945HS in a TINY Shell!

Though she be but little, she is FIERCE!

Geekom updated their newest mini PC frame with an AMD 8945HS! This thing is a BEAST. CPU and GPU performance are very similar to the last gen 7940HS laptop chip, but now with a bit more NPU “AI” performance.

Funnily enough, it seems Microsoft is throwing AMD and Intel under the bus. NONE of the current “AI” PCs sold are powerful enough to earn the new “CoPilot+” branding. Still, with a more powerful NPU, we can see some great improvements to content creation and video editing plugins.

Who knows, maybe you don’t want that new Microsoft Recall feature on your system anyway? Continue reading “Geekom A8 Mini PC Review: A Ryzen 9 8945HS in a TINY Shell!”

Acemagic AD08 Mini PC Review: Is a Core i9 Wasted Here?

Acemagic AD08 Review is FINALLY done!

This was a seriously delayed video for me. Dealing with malware, and taking more time to carefully clean out the computer, I’ve talked about this experience a lot already. Still, there’s a box with a processor in it, and there’s still a question I need to answer.

Is a Core i9 overkill in a system like this? Continue reading “Acemagic AD08 Mini PC Review: Is a Core i9 Wasted Here?”

AcePC WizBox G Review: A Mini AMD Powerhouse! Ryzen 7735HS – Radeon 680M – Low Price!

AcePC WizBox G Review!

While I’ve been playing with more Mini PCs, this is one of the biggest jumps I’ve ever seen looking at price to performance. The new Ryzen 7 is no joke, the GPU is punchy, and it’s significantly more upgrade-able than a similarly specced Mac Mini.

This is a HUGE bang for buck system, AND I made it through the whole video without making a joke about the computer’s name! Continue reading “AcePC WizBox G Review: A Mini AMD Powerhouse! Ryzen 7735HS – Radeon 680M – Low Price!”

Geekom A5 Mini PC Review: BIG POWER! Small Price! Better than a Mac Mini?

Geekom A5 Review!

This is a beast of a mini PC! Using a great little AMD chip, it’s sweet overkill for daily computing tasks. It’s exciting to see this performance in a computer this small, but the price tag is even nicer! Continue reading “Geekom A5 Mini PC Review: BIG POWER! Small Price! Better than a Mac Mini?”

AceMagic AD15 Mini PC: It MIGHT be a Good Deal?

AceMagic AD15 mini PC review!

It’s a small PC, but it’s not THAT small. It’s running an older 11th Gen Intel Core i7. It’s packed in one of my least favorite mini cases.

And yet… This might be a FANTASTIC home PC… IF you can shop it right…
