The ACEMAGIC K1 brings Intel's 12-core Core i5-12600H to the budget Mini-PC market at just $360. This compact system delivers solid CPU performance for office work and multitasking, making it an attractive option for students and small businesses seeking desktop-like power in a footprint measuring just 128.2 × 128.2 × 41 mm.

With 16 threads boosting up to 4.5 GHz and 18MB Smart Cache, the K1 handles spreadsheets and browser-heavy workflows efficiently. While Windows 11 Pro comes preinstalled, the aging Iris Xe graphics show limitations compared to newer integrated solutions, restricting gaming and GPU-intensive tasks. Storage options include two M.2 2280 slots supporting NVMe and SATA drives.

Display connectivity stands out with support for three 4K monitors simultaneously through HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.4b, and USB-C. The Mini-PC includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and Gigabit Ethernet, plus multiple USB ports on both front and rear. For under $360, the ACEMAGIC K1 offers compelling CPU power, though graphics performance remains its primary constraint.
