Even after Black Friday and Cyber Monday, some of the best holiday PC deals still come in tiny packages, especially when that tiny package delivers the storage, speed, 4K multi-monitor expansion, and fast online performance of a full-sized PC. That’s the ACEMAGIC V1 Mini PC in a nutshell (ok, it’s not small enough to fit in a nutshell), and it’s 28% off at Amazon right now to become a total steal at just $229.
Full-fledged PC power without the big tower or rat’s nest of wiring sounds like a proposition well worth $208, especially when you can take this teeny 3.9-inch-square mini and connect it to two external 4K monitors, and then use the included VESA mount to hide the PC on the back of one of the monitors. A little black magic for post-Black Friday, perhaps?

Hyper Efficiency
The ACEMAGIC V1 is a marvel of spatial arrangement, not only for its ability to occupy next to no space on your desktop, but also for how much it packs into its very small body. There’s an Intel Twin Lake N150 processor in there that can hit 3.66GHz on the speedometer, yet somehow will not overheat thanks to the precise cutouts and upgraded axial fan that quietly but ruthlessly vents heat out of the unit. That N150 chip is a huge leap up from the older Intel N100 and N95 chips, with up to 39% more speed.
16GB of RAM and a 1TB solid-state drive also fit under the hood, along with as many external ports and hookups as you could ever need: dual USB-A 3.2 ports, two USB-A 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4, and even Gigabit Ethernet in case you decide to go hardwired for blazing internet speed, although the Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 connections are plenty fast too. With those connections you can run two 4K external monitors simultaneously and still have room to connect chargers, external SSDs, or other peripherals.
Windows 11 Pro Locked and Loaded
The ACEMAGIC V1 goes from its very small box to up and running in next to no time, thanks in part to having Windows 11 Professional already preloaded. From there it’s the fastest unboxing ever, as anyone who’s ever had to wrestle a full-sized tower out of a box and onto or under a desk and then run the wiring will tell you. And nobody says you have to keep the ACEMAGIC V1 at a workstation. At that size, and weighing only 1.4 pounds, it’s absolutely portable, and it’s also a great candidate to be attached with the VESA mount to the back of a big-screen TV and used as a streaming device, media or gaming setup, a PC with an enormous screen, or all of the above.
The days of mini PCs being long on portability and gimmicky attention and woefully short on performance are long gone. The ACEMAGIC V1 packs all of the performance of its full-sized PC brethren into a substantially smaller package, and even now, after Cyber Monday has ended, it’s still available at a substantially smaller price. It’s currently just $229 with a 28% discount.
