The ACEMAGIC F2A is a small desktop computer with dual HDMI ports, a 2.5 GbE LAN port, and support for WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.

It’s also the first mini PC from ACEMAGIC powered by an Intel Meteor Lake processor, which brings Intel Arc integrated graphics and an NPU for hardware-accelerated AI features. That’s why the Chinese PC maker is positioning the computer as an “AI PC.” The ACEMAGIC F2A is now available for purchase, with prices starting at around $699.

In order to get that starting price, you’ll have to order directly from the ACEMAGIC website. The mini PC is also available from Amazon, where it costs a little more (but some folks may prefer to order mini PCs from Chinese brands like ACEMAGIC from Amazon, which offers customer reviews and more costumer protections).

The system is available in two configurations:

  • Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage for $699 (ACEMAGIC) or $799 (Amazon)
  • Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, 32GB RAM, 1TB storage for $799 (ACEMAGIC) or $899 (Amazon)

Both models measure 148 x 120 x 39mm (5.8″ x 4.7″ x 1.5″) and feature two SODIMM slots for up to 32GB of total DDR5-5600 dual-channel memory, a single M.2 2280 slot for PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage, and a set of ports that includes:

  • 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C
  • 4 x USB 3.2 Gen  2 Type-A
  • 2 x HDMI 2.0
  • 1 x 2.5 GbE LAN
  • 1 x 3.5mm audio
  • 1 x DC power input

While ACEMAGIC isn’t the first company to ship a mini PC with Intel’s new Meteor Lake processors, those chips are still pretty rare in this form factor.

MINIXPC is selling a model that appears to be identical to the ACEMAGIC F2A, but in addition to 32GB/1TB configurations, it’s available in 16GB/1TB and barebones models, with prices starting as low as $549.

The GMK NucBox K9 is on sale for $599 at Amazon for a model with a Core Ultra 5 125H processor, 32GB of storage, and a 1TB SSD. This model has similar specs to the F2A, but wireless capabilities top out at WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.

And the Asus NUC 14 Pro is one of the few name brand models available, but it’s a bit more expensive. Prices start at $600 for a barebones model.

There’s also the Asus ExpertCenter PN65, which is available for $759.

  1. A few weeks ago my 13 month old Ace Magic died. I was told to return the unit and it would be replaced or refunded under the 3 year warranty. Weeks later I still have no computer or a refund. In fact, the company who had shown great interest in a resolution at first, has now stopped responding to me and it’s pretty obvious I am screwed out of 1 Ace Magic mini PC. Not a trustworthy company!

  2. Friendly reminder that acemagic is the company that shipped mini pc’s with malware hidden in the devices recovery partition.
